The correct answer is:

**the emphasis on military goods**

During World War II, the Soviet Union prioritized military production to support the war effort, which led to neglect in the production of consumer goods, including food and housing. This focus contributed significantly to the severe shortages experienced by Soviet citizens in 1943.
