Name one way the Soviet Union positively affected your country
We got free healthcare and worker's right as an attempt to keep the population from turning into communism

>>221378268no it wasn'tthere was no concept of the weekend before labor movementspeople just had sunday off for church
>>221378021Industry (90% of which was destroyed in the 90s). Housing (which was shitty, but nowadays it's even better than the capitalist-block pods). Space program. Urbanisation laws and infrastructure, energy etc. We still mostly on what was created in that time. Current government did little aside some new automobile roads and new extraction points development.
>>221378308Retard, gigareligious people like Russian Old Believers still consider it a grave sin to work on Sundays. People make Sabbath jokes, but this was widespread in the entire Abrahamic world (Friday for Muslims, Saturday for Jews, Sunday for Christians).
>>221378351how does your post contradict anything I said, brainlet?
>>221378021nothing. everything was made worse by them, either directly or indirectly.
>>221378021It didn't

>>221378021RussiaIt didn't, literally just made everything worse
>>221378021Gave us the excuse we needed to become a global instead of just regional and naval hegemon. Based as fuck. Thanks for the assist, commies.
>>221378535>>factories in IrkutskDon't need them (Irkutsk was fine without them)>>BAMDont need it (instrument of control)>>new railroadsDon't need them (see above)>>new cities in Ikrutsk oblastDidn't need them (filled with moscowites)>>new infrastructureDidn't need it>>free housingCalling commieblock houses is like pulling an owl on a globe>>Irkutsk HOPDidn't need it

>>221378021I can't
>>221378021It got hundreds of thousands of young Eastern European women to move to America during the 90s
>>221378021I can't think of anything
Lots of cheap resources, money was pouring out everywhere for companies trading with them. including Nokia, making telecomm systems for them at a 500% markup. they then put the money into RnD and made their phones and conquered the world. So Nokia wouldn't exist if it weren't for them. Being able to trade with both blocs was a major advantage for us.
What >>221378051 said.
>>221378021No ideaI don't care politics
>>221378021the presence of the Soviet Unon was higly beneficial for western Europe. It forced capitalists to give benefits and concessions to workers that would not have happened if there wasnt a costant background from communist parties linked and financed by the USSR. The USA also brought mainly only the good parts of its system to Europe for the same reason to show it was superior. I wish the USSR would come back
>>221379173W Europe basically becae the field where the 2 suiperpowers would export only the best parts of their systems trying to shpow their own system was superior to the other
>>221378021The Cold War gave our country a steady rallying point that we have not had since it ended. We are no longer as unified as we were back then. The Global War On Terrorism wasn't the same thing. The enemy kept changing.
>>221378308Trve rvssian patriots knvw Lenin vnventvd oxygen and prvletariat just choked to death before cvmmunism
Saved us from La CIA in bay of Bengal
>>221378021It forced americans to actually invest down south wich is good and bad. Bad because it legitimized the government in gunning down students. Good because jobs and watnot
>>221378021It was the only time the rich pretended to give a fuck about us because they didn't want to risk a turn to communism
>>221378400Here in mexico we had sundays off since Spanish times so i don't know what the fuck you're talking about
>>221379445>>221379324why not use CHYNA as your communist boogeyman then? it's not like anyone would care that they're not really communist today.
>>221378021Can't think of anything tbqh. Even the Ottomans left here the bathing culture and rolled cabbage. German occupied Hungary wouldve been better astronomically so its pointless to even argue about the positives of Soviets
>>22137950320 years post-Soviet collapse was enough time to enslave us in toto, everybody is now too desperate to avoid starving while thoroughly propagandized by our corpo controlled social media to even bother fighting for a better future
I started high school in the late 90's and the collapse of the USSR resulted in a flood of Russian refugees. My school was the only one in the area to have an ESL program so all of the Russian kids ended up there, including a lot of hot Russian teenage girls. I fucked two of them, Irina and Kristina. I thank the Soviet Union for that opportunity.
>>221378021It brought us a solid alliance with the US
>>221378021We industrialized and urbanized a lot under them but it's more about missed opportunities rather than what we managed to do. If we were west-aligned after '45 we probably would have developed way more.The only positive thing that actually affects me are the commieblocks. If we were western I'd be renting and not owning right now.
Government, unions, employers reached satisfying compromises.
>>221378021They helped my country industrialize by building factories across various industries and training the workforce.My grandfather got to study electrical engineering in the USSR. He later returned and worked as an engineer at a tire factory the Soviets helped build.
>>221378021They collapsed and flooded us with actual doctors and scientists
>>221378021We gained a whole lot from beating themJury's still out on if it was just a delayed mutual loss though, we've been fucked up pretty bad and way worse than anything we gained
>>221378351Having to spend one day of the week in religious service and forced ceremonial rest is different to having two days of the week to do whatever you fucking please.
>>221378021Made Ossiland so poor not even brown people wanna come there
>>221380806I heard even the slavs are escaping Germany recently, lots of Poles are coming back here.
>>221378021literally no fucking way compared to what the government and the subsequent future could have been if the White movement had won. all the achievements of the soviet union could have happened much earlier without the judeo-bolsheviks starting a revolution and losing the WWI. 80 years down the drain
It was such a dysfunctional shithole that they had to buy everything of worth from Finland.
>>221378051this, and much more along this line
>>221381242i really wonder how big the east slavic Population would've been
>>221379957commieblocks are looking pretty good right now here in rent hell canada ngl
>>221378021Workers rights were a big thing, on the other hand we experienced massive public spending and huge debt that now is suffocating us. Right now we need a proper pension reform because the system is a ponzi scheme and completely broken.
>>221379478>sundays offread my post again
>>221378351>>221379478Are you retards unironically illiterate or just bots?
>>221378021It built hospitals, schools, factories, institutes, shops. It gave us electricity, literacy and free healthcare for all
>>221386690it also killed like a billion estonians though
A better question is what the USSR did indirectly.It forced its adversaries to be kinder to smaller countries, and the latter gained more bargaining power in exchange for loyalty.Dialectics work both ways. That's why this world must be multipolar, to keep reason awake.
>>221386713It's true, I was the Estonians
can't think of single thing, if anything its legacy directly fosters tangible evilworld peace can only come when both the US and russia become radioactive wastelands
