They took a shitty feudal country filled with peasants and turned it into a global superpower hella quick yes the starvation was poor but some figures are widely disputed because of the us propaganda and the fall of the ussr was arguably terrible for the world since the us lost a rival and has been going to absolute shit

Took them 30 years to go from peasantry to superpower competing with the us genuinely insane
