What should Russia have done since ww2 to remain a superpower?
>>60339427
Admit they had to reform.
Maybe use the fertile lands in Ukraine to actually feed their population instead of building shitty, useless factories everywhere. But then again, we are talking about Russians here

capitalism

Not abandon the Warsaw Pact, not disband the Soviet Union, change the economy earlier on and not like how Gorbachev did it, no political reform.
>Reduced conscription down to local levels (militia), maintained a professional army for offensive operations and streamlined military production. Basically what they've done since the late 90s.
>Let farmers produce what they want, how they want, with no political interference
>Offer cheap skiing and adventure holidays to foreigners on select resorts, boost tourism
>Dump money into universities, charge foreign students for attendance
>Set the more remote parts of the USSR up as production centres for low cost, simple products like was done in China. Flood western markets with things like office stationery, cheap plastics, toys, simple clothing
>Sell small arms on the civilian market around the world
It got the rocket forces and WMD side right. That's all it needed to be a military superpower. Combine it with the above and it would be able to keep it up.

The division of Russia. It's too big to rule.

>Japan is too small to be independent
Kruschev should have done Stalinist purges against the Breshnev faction then implemented market socialism in the style of Yugoslavia. Next he should have focused all his efforts into making sure the Cold War ended and relations thawed, that way he could have done more trade with the West and wouldn't have to worry about the bullshir arms race. He should also have done more to appease the Baltic states, Ukraine, and all the other republics that clearly didn't want to be part of the USSR. Finally he should have implemented gradual democratic reform that slowly could have either led to multi-party in democracy or no-party democracy.

Turn on hot water on summer in all cities will be a giant step

Give Siberia to Chinese people and let them get independent, like Russians with Ukrainian nationality did.
>>60339427
Don't think those were good times when we were a superpower.

Japan is too nationalist to be independent.

Just be themselves :)
Not go full retard 30% of GDP on military spending.
Invest in computers.

>Not abandon the Warsaw Pact
As if they had a choice. Everyone in the fucking thing except your shitty country wanted Russia to fuck off, kill themselves, and then fuck off again.

China will collapse around 2020, like Soviet Union.

Ukraine and Moldova were extremely pro- Soviet Union but anti-Communism in 1990.

>In an article entitled "The Coming Collapse of China: 2012 Edition", published by the Foreign Policy magazine website, Gordon C. Chang admitted that his prediction was wrong, arguing that he was off only by one year: "Instead of 2011, the mighty communist party of China will fall in 2012. Bet on it."[5] On May 21 2016, The Nationalist Interest published another artcile by Chang, "China's Coming Revolution."[6]
