- pessimizer 4y agoThere weren't 40 years of peace between 1945 and 1948.
- dragonwriter 4y agoOr, for the USSR, between 1945 and 1985, either.
- ak217 4y agoRight. After 1945, the Soviet Union didn't suffer war on its territory - it exported it abroad instead, from Korea to Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Vietnam and Afghanistan. Proletariat of all countries, unite! Meanwhile, the economic conditions in 1985 were just as broken as in 1945. I know because I was there, as a brainwashed oktyabryonok, being sent to stand in a bread line with a talon (a rationing ticket for bread). In Moscow Oblast, the most prosperous in the country. The level of naivete and pedantry in this whole discussion is amazing to me, on so many levels.
