Had no access to luxury goods and often lacked basic necessities, is the right answer.

In the years between 1929 to 1953, Joseph Stalin served as the dictator of the USSR. Stalin’s government was a totalitarian state, in which he employed extensive private control over the Communist Party and unleashed an unparalleled level of force to reduce any possible menace to his administration. Therefore, the people of the Soviet Union had no access to luxury goods and often lacked necessities.

pepin the short[a] (german: pippin der kurze, french: pépin le bref, c. 714 – 24 september 768) was the king of the franks from 751 until his death. he was the first of the carolingians to become king.[b][2]

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.
