Same exchange rates

Very similar interest rates

The same language

Need I go on?

The fact that Russia went from a shitty famine ridden agrarian society to a world superpower in that time is remarkable

Russia was the second fastest growing economy in the world prior to the revolutio

n

*15 countries in one union

And that too

Yes but thats the rate of growth

It was still shitty

and it became the second biggest fully industrialized modern super power under stalin

true

while it was a shithole before 1917

@svpreme and it only became worse after

@Deleted User no it didnt

15 countries did

It was still the second fastest growing economy

Dont equate russia to the ussr

And the czar was an utter moron before the revolution

Thats like saying the EU is one country

It doesn't matter that there were 15 countries in 1 because all 15 countries had to be industrialised

And it doesnt need foreign help

sure

doesn't take back what I've said

BTW there were only 11 republics before the war

Russia got fast industrialization and better life standards under Stalin

just facts

and it got worse afterwards

are we chilling for china again here?

When you govern a population 10 times the economic power of the one you had previously, industrialisation is possible if youre an anprim leader

lolwut

>better life standards

Mao was pretty based

lolWUT

how is Stalin anprim

Stalin and pol pot ain't the same man

They industrialized because of central planning

I mean even if its anprim

All of the prewar Soviet Union was former Russian Empire

central planning made it work actually
