Comments by "Winston Smith" (@kryts27) on "How close was the Soviet Union to Collapse in 1942-1943?" video.
The Soviets had already rapidly industrialized in the 1930s, and some factories had been moved before the Germans had captured the western Soviet cities, like Kharkov. Another factor was that the Soviet Union was fighting one main enemy; Nazi Germany, unlike Germany which was fighting 3 main powers by that time (and it told in time). Nevertheless, the SU lost a lot of its best agricultural lands and the enemy had occupied the majority of the populated SU at the time.
