I tend to think the Trabant was the better car.
Yeah, that's a deep thought.
It lasted pretty much forever and was very inexpensive.
And only a 10 year waiting list.
You do realize the flying car on "Harry Potter" is a Trabant?
You do realize that is fiction? Just like "successful commie country" is fiction.
The GDP is not necessarily the proper goal of any country,
Sounds like something a shithole commie country would say.
One that was really bad at allocating resources.
but the USSR had a very hard climate and resources to deal with.
Poor Russia, largest country in the world.
Chernobyl was a combination of being cheap so using graphite moderator instead of heavy water, and and not keeping staff up to training.
And no containment building.
Thank goodness they didn't need to worry about making a profit......DURR
The USSR likely had the greatest advancement of any country, from feudal state to world leader in a couple of decades.
And all they needed was 30 million dead.....
