Question

How Many political parties did the Soviet Union have

Answer 1

The Soviet Union was a one-party state, dominated by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). While there were other minor parties allowed to exist, they were not independent and were ultimately under the control of the Communist Party. The CPSU held a monopoly on political power, and dissenting political parties were not permitted to operate independently. Therefore, while multiple parties may have existed nominally, the Soviet Union functioned effectively as a single-party state.
