The Soviet Union went from medieval to developed economy by contemporary 1950 standards in ~30 years.

Tsarist Russia wasn't medieval. For instance the giant hydroprojects realised at the Aral Sea were originally drafted by a Tsarist commission. And there was an industrial basis already present throughout Russia - how else do you think the country survived the WWI?
