Dude… Despite everything, I at least had a sick space program, insane chess players, hardcore scientists and other shit ton of impressive achievements… What do you have?

Food.

correct, had.

Real hard-core scientists like Lysenko.

Russia is currently still the like 4th year into a 3 day operation and one of its regions is currently getting food and cloth donations from one of the poorest regions in west Africa cause of a flooding that destroyed a not maintained dam while the government is doing fuck all for the people there due to no funds or will to help

That’s liberal capitalism for ya 🙂

Poutine

“Uh I hacked the brains of our biggest rival using their own social media, filled their government with compromised assets up to and including the president, fractured their traditional alliances and world reputation and might even destroy NATO? I’m the upgrade.”

People who consider the Soviet Union a failure also don’t understand the mess the Tsars left them with. The Soviet Union absolutely had its failures but 19th century Russia was much much worse

Don’t forget Tetris

What do they have?

Kompromat on and therefore control of a sitting US President & his political party… THAT’S what they have.

*laughs in Aral sea*

To be fair a LOT of the Soviets achievements relied on the other nations it had, including people and resources.

Without those, Russia itself is a lot less powerful.

Killing more people than Nazi Germany, working with Hitler to invade an entire continent, genociding Christians and Jews, Holodomor and putting gay people in gulags is ok as long as we produce awesome chess players and send people to space.

I wonder who would be the other countries?

France – Franchie

Starlight – Canada?

What’s your opinion?

Half of that were Ukraine anyway

Freedom of spe… Wait a minute!

Как обычно западные граждане показывают своё невероятное знания реали России которое они выковыряли из какого то говна.

По крайней мере нам не приходится стоять в очереди с гнилой картошкой как в при советском союзе.

Я не буду пользоваться английским языком в подобных постах.

Ну и тратится объяснять какие то подробности нахуй это надо. вы все равно блядь все переврте. у вас своя собственная эхо камера и свои собственные фильтры которые вам навязали хуй знает кто. и вы ничего не знаете про Россию но вы невероятно самоуверенны в своём незнании.

Space program was mostly the work of kidnapped German scientists, with the exception of a Ukrainian who was punished by Stalin during the purges.

Majority of the chess players who represented the Soviet Union, were Jewish and subject to intense discrimination under the Soviet system.

As for hardcore scientists? Like whom? The cretinous fraud Trofim Lysenko? Or do you mean actual scientists like the murdered Vavilov, who was murdered for being too smart for the likes of the semi illiterate morons like Stalin.

All the cope in this meme about the Soviet Union forgets that most of the success the USSR had was inspite of the USSR and not because of it.

I miss the Soviet Union because they kept The USA in check and vise versa. When the USSR fell, so did our need to prove we were the best because, by process of elimination, we were.
