I mentioned 2 historical events in my initial comment: Sputnik in 1957, and, implicitly, the revolution of 1917. In between those times, the USSR went from being an agrarian, feudal nation to an industrialized world power. Who did that?

You're just so determined not to acknowledge that someone who did a lot of very, very bad things, and is arguably one of the most evil men to live in the 20th century, actually did a good thing. That's it. You've proved my point.
