Honestly it's too bad that Putin's obsession with the Soviet era isn't at all focused on the things that were good about the Soviet Union.
Things like this, or its space program. Instead, it's all the bad parts (territorial conquest) with none of the good.

- warning26 5y agoRoscosmos, the space program that's still flying the exact same equipment that it did in the 60s and has made no efforts to improve since then? Yes, that one. Buran+Energia was a generational leap forward, and it all fell apart when the Soviet Union collapsed. Considering that I described territorial conquest as "bad", I think we can safely say I did not mean Afghanistan.
- lnsru 5y agoCould you please elaborate more on what was good about Soviet Union? Especially from local citizen’s perspective without having dollars in the pocked. Space program made them proud once in a while, but half empty shelves in grocery store were way more common.
