-Raises hand.-

Froud has to do an assignment, and it is asking about a particular person's interest in anti-communism. The quiz answer uses the term "anti-Soviet". Is "anti-communism" and "anti-Soviet" the same thing?

No, it is not.

Being anti-Soviet means you're opposed to the Soviet Union, which was a state that existed (particularly in Russia) from 1922 - 1991 (the union was dissolved). While it may have been run by a communist government, being anti-Soviet doesn't necessarily mean you're opposed to communism, just what the Soviet's stood for (which didn't all necessarily align with the communistic ways & and were in fact corrupt (surprise surprise)).
