Yes. A place free from capitalist corruption. The only problem was that the Soviet system was unadaptable with the world. Sad it collapsed. If it never did, then both superpowers would've motivated each other to 1-up against one another, accelerating growth in technology and space exploration on both sides.

@@quinzerrak4975 Free from capitalist corruption but merely replaced with governmental corruption, you do know where power lies corruption will follow, like where humanity goes rats follow. All you can do if try to create a society where this can be minimum, for now IMO until we invent something better would be a mixed economy, try to balance the good of a free market with social safety net (NHS, Unemployment benefit, disability benefit, ...). This is why we have elections in the UK, where it swings conservative/labour, when one goes too far the other pulls it back. In the USA the Republican Party (GOP) is destroying this balance as they now just want a dictatorship now as they are racist, corruption at it's worst.

What was it like and would you live there?

@tenniswilliam 2 жыл бұрын

@@DeathbornGamer that is a good question if I could live there in the 80s. I would say that it was livable and not the communism hell that the West portrayed. Of course it was inefficient and not a consumer society at all. At the time it was still evolving away from the Stalinist era so state repression of dissidents could still get you in trouble or off to the gulag. Also there was little in terms of night life or cafe scene rather everything was more focused in family life. There were however no homeless and no ghettos and no gangsters or societal violence. Thus it was a somegat calmer society. Yes i think it might have been interesting to live there for awhile but one would have to know Russian to manage.

Но около 5 процентов населения стали очень богатыми, они захватили промышленность (заводы, фабрики, здания, месторождения и т.д.) бывшего Союза...

This is the issue. The ussr and the usa cannot be compared. I feel like Khruschev really ruined by trying to prove the ussr could top and match the usa in lifestyle. It could not. The ussr was a poor country from the 20s and industrialized went through famines and a nazi invasion. Wheras the united states had 200 years of industrialization off slavery and colonies. Compare ussr to india or pakistan and its achievments are noticed. Luckily in this neo cold war we have with china they dont think of themselves as on par with the usa.

It's like anywhere else, very nice malls, restuarant etc.Though they are a bit behind with smoking, car pollution and trash being thrown about. The metro is amazing, easy beautiful. Country homes practically every family has one. Kids go to several private pay schools for different subjects each week. Art music and academics. Most 90% will attend secondary college. The villages are amazing. The sanctions only make Russia more self sustaining. The US is a mental institution in comparison, a nut house.
