Explanation:

• Famine struck the country: Communist economic policies like forced collectivization led to disruptions in agriculture, causing famines (e.g., the Holodomor - related famines in Soviet - era Russia/USSR context).
• Industrial production suffered: Early communist economic policies, especially during the transition and mismanagement, led to inefficiencies and shortages that hurt industrial output.
• Wealthy people fled the country: The communist policies aimed at redistributing wealth and nationalizing property made wealthy individuals (kulaks, capitalists) flee to avoid persecution and loss of assets.
• Domestic unrest increased: The economic hardships, famines, and forced policies led to discontent among the population, increasing domestic unrest.
• Steel production increased: Later, under the Five - Year Plans, there was a push for industrialization, and steel production was a focus, so it increased.
• Food harvests increased is incorrect because collectivization and mismanagement led to decreased food production and famines.

Answer:

• Famine struck the country.
• Industrial production suffered.
• Wealthy people fled the country.
