The Soviet Union seems like a beast
from the perspective of the Western world and many people had a sigh of relief
when it collapsed. But how was life in Soviet Union? Very-very few foreigners
know the truth about it actually. And even those who had the chance to visit the
USSR, did not see the full picture. The real truth is known only by those who
actually lived in the country. And yes, in most of the cases the life in Soviet
Union was pretty miserable - totalitarian regime, mandatory enrollment in the
Communist party, deficiency of many products, "iron curtain" (which
meant the ban on traveling abroad), and many people killed and repressed. There are many bad things about then
Soviet Union, and yes, it's great that former Soviet Union countries are now
living in a democracy, but in this article, I'd like to list you a few good
things that occurred in the Soviet Union, because I'm sure, many people don't
even suspect that these things existed.
The Soviet Union was
Good because:
A Grand Display of Culture
Their military, needless to say, was extremely
advanced
Soviet Union had a far more efficient steel industry
Triumphant space program
Relative equality of wages
