    USSR’s success was largely fueled my mass murder, political oppression, and lying about economic growth.

    they were ‘good’ at centralizing power to achieve certain goals, like military and the space race, but their economy outside of such priority areas, was in shambles. their agricultural and industrial capacity was terrible.
