Another was food shortages, collectivization in the Soviet Union led to a huge reduction in food production and the country went through many famines as a result.
Technology was also an issue although the Soviet Union was a super power after the second world war they struggled with production and creating some items most famously jeans.
Along with this the threat of capitalism and simply trying to keep up with the US in terms of economic development and technological advances e.g. the space race.
As the Soviet Union expanded a serious issue was trying to incorporate many different nations with different languages and cultures into one country. Many countries had uprising and revolts due to nationalism.
Finally the last major issue was with their economy. Oil provided a huge amount of money into the soviet economy. With a number of devastating drops in oil prices led to in-balances/shortfalls in the countries finances and this caused vast debts. look at the theory of resource curse, as with the Soviet union having so much oil, it led to an increase in corruption and red tape.

Greece and Turkey were threatened by Soviet aggression in the late 1940s due to the expansionist policies of the Soviet Union, which sought to spread communism in Europe and gain strategic footholds in the Mediterranean. The Greek Civil War (1946-1949) saw communist insurgents, supported by the Soviet Union, fighting against the Greek government, raising fears of a Soviet takeover. Similarly, Turkey faced pressure from the USSR, which sought control over the Dardanelles Strait and increased its influence in the region. This led to the U.S. and its allies taking a stand to contain Soviet expansion, culminating in the Truman Doctrine, which promised support to countries resisting communism.
The Soviet Union army faced difficulties in the war due to factors such as harsh weather conditions, lack of resources, and strong resistance from the enemy forces.

Communism began to show signs of economic decline in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. By the late 1980s, many communist states faced significant economic challenges, leading to widespread shortages and inefficiencies. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked a dramatic decline in the viability of communist systems, resulting in many countries transitioning to market economies. This period highlighted the limitations of central planning and the struggles of communist economies.
