520			_aThe economic foundations of the now mighty Soviet socialist state were laid centuries ago on the territory of Eastern Europe, Transcaucasia and Central Asia. Here, as elsewhere, different socio-economic formations primitive communal, slave-owning, feudal and capitalist-succeeded one another. Then, as a result of the Great October Revo lution, came the victory of socialism which became firmly established in the country. At present the Soviet Union is successfully building the material and technical basis of communism. It goes without saying that this general law of historical development takes into account the specific features of development of a given country. Moreover, there have been many serious deviations from this general scheme and even cases of one or another formation falling out of it. As for the economic development and the social and political life of the peoples inhabiting the U.S.S.R., the primitive-communal system prevailed here for thousands of years. Feudal relations first appeared in Kiev Rus only in the 9th century. The growth of the productive forces and the resulting inequality in property status in the first millennium A. D. led to the formation of a class society and the state which was destined to secure the domination of one class over another.
