Prokhor Zakharov posted:swastika/nazi tattoos were just a middle finger against the soviet regime, they had nothing to do with actual nazis From The Guardian's article where I took that from: "Nazi symbols can mean that an inmate has fascist sympathies, but more usually they are inked as a protest towards the prison or camp administration. During the Soviet period, the authorities removed these tattoos by force. A tattoo of a mermaid often indicates a sentence for child molestation."

I assume any picture of a Russian guy is under 30 because you don't last long once you start drinking MiG coolant. Such is life.

I mean, certainly the landgrab after WWII kept things going for a while longer, but they seemed to have made some real advances in the early years that propelled them enough to make that land grab in the first place. Was it just the prospect of real change after those generations under the tsars?

Stalin gave Sergei Korolev captured V2s and said 'forget your other ideas, build this'. He was pretty much the mastermind of the whole program from there on out and everything stalled when he died in 1966 (his health was poo poo because he spent time in a gulag pre-WW2).

McDowell posted:Very few Germans defected to the Soviets, who would usually kill them on sight. Korelev was quite the boss and was reasonable for many of the early space race successes. Of course on the flip the Soviet Union had less technological resources and also didn't even do western style program management which allowed competitors to rapidly outpace the russian space program. Another random fun fact is the NK-33 first stage engines from the somewhat recent Orbital Sciences launch failure were designed and manufactured in Russia, they were originally intended to be used for Russia's manned moon mission.

The Soviets were just really that good, no secret tricks. They got a lot of bright and educated people working and functioning in a modern society, for a productive goal, Western world made some huge reforms after that, especially in education. We started running circles around the Soviets sometimes in the 70s and they never really got their poo poo together after that and got left behind. The rest is well known history.
