Cars led Russia to Greatness Lenin led Russia to ruin
This is a fact

Sigapur is right

Under the Czars the russians couldn't afford weaponry for their soldiers in WW1
Under Stalin Russia became a rival to industrial nations and the U.S.

It really depends on point of view
Russia had every last few 100 years major wars and changes.
I heard if Russia didn't get that sudden change from the revolution they had a +15 million a year growth in population and that they were one of the least alcohol consumers compared to now. If this was true (heard it from a russian) it would mean Russia would easily have been the solo superpower of the world with a big population and a big country
Besides that stalin did make Russia indeed an industrial power

>industrialisation
You do realize that those factories couldnt compete with their western counterparts, do you?
The moment the Soviets opened up their industry crumbled.
Stalins industrialisation was a phony one.

I dont like communism, but its shure alot better than a regime of feudal serfdom. Oh yeah, thats how Russia was back then.
>>80045539
Serfdom was abolished in the 1860s.
>>80045639
It shure was... in theory.

Shut the fuck up, you piece of shit polack.
What the fuck has your irrelevant shithole ever done, besides being the main political prostitute of Europe?
>>80045692
What are you laughing about? Soviets won the space race and you're still flying to space on rocket designs made by them in the 60s.

Stay jealous

Lada Niva, old school is still popular here. Was Zastava ever present in your market?
>>80046071
I know a guy with one of those Ladas from the seventies still running. Ugly as sin but durable as hell.
>>80044549
No.

There are tzars that led Russia to greatness.
But Alexander I was last of them. And he died in 1825.
