SOVIETIZE Meaning and Definition

1. The term "sovietize" refers to the act or process of implementing a system or policies characteristic of the Soviet Union or its political ideology. It is derived from the noun "Soviet," which originally referred to the elected councils established in Russia during the early 20th century. However, the term became associated with the Soviet regime and its style of governance.

   To "sovietize" typically implies the imposition of a centralized, authoritarian, and often communist system of government. It involves the establishment of soviet-style institutions, such as workers' councils or local committees, that are meant to represent various sectors or regions of society. These councils are often subordinate to a central governing authority, allowing for tight control over decision-making and policy implementation.

   The process of sovietization often involves significant state intervention in economic and social affairs, with the aim of achieving collective ownership of the means of production and centrally planned economic systems. It may also include the suppression of individual freedoms, such as freedom of speech, press, and assembly, in favor of collective interests and state control.

   The term "sovietize" is most commonly used in a critical or cautionary context, highlighting concerns about the potential authoritarian or oppressive nature of the Soviet model. It is often employed to describe attempts by governments or organizations to emulate or implement aspects of Soviet governance, particularly in relation to political centralization and state control over various aspects of society.
