Nope. That's it - the effect in USSR is society wide. Its an entire retooling of culture. In Arab countries, there has been some effort in the same direction by the socialist governments of 1950s and 1960s. Those did some effect, but they were not as profound as USSR's cultural impact. Today the upper classes of Arab societies send their daughters to STEM schools for economic reasons and for the prestige that those fields gained during that period.
