The Soviets invested heavily in oil and gas but the 1986 oil price crash destroyed that investment. but it also found the world's largest natural gas reserves in Siberia. which became a symbol of Russia's power after the economic crisis of 1990 and the rise in oil prices after 2000

@olekkuvppl Why the economy of the Nordic countries and China can grow and not collapse, even though the socialist countries are economically democratic. and get economic sanctions from the United States like Cuba and Venezuela

The Soviets were 2nd World. unlike the west which robbed 3rd world countries of resources and then forced to buy finished products from western countries. The Soviets were very anti-colonial, giving natural resources to other countries to increase their industry
