The USSR accomplished quite a bit coming from a nation of malnourished serfs that were formerly used as cannon fodder.
Breaking up the existing communes and murdering the Soviets (then using their name) were terrible things, but its impressive that a landlocked country with minimal infrastructure and an uneducated populace could fight off Germany and liberate most of Northern Europe, push the bounds of science, and be a world power for a number of decades despite having half the populace of the other world power of that era.
