@sylvio1687 famine in the USSR was caused by drought all over the world, due to which the United States curtailed its agriculture, and the USSR then depended on American supplies, since its own agriculture was reduced for industrialization. Roughly speaking, the United States fed the USSR for money while it was building industry, but on a certain day the United States could not do it. Soviet power struggled with hunger, agriculture was increased, and private garden plots were legalized among citizens

@Switzlan Bandits, rapists and looters were sent to labor camps, where they built factories and infrastructure for the good of the country. In America in the 20th century, this was also practiced. They sent to the gulag for serious crimes, there were not innocent people there. Killers, white officers, landlords, corrupt officials and slave owners of the Russian Empire, as well as those who supported them with weapons during the Civil War, and after (the famous underground of 1927, which massively exterminated cattle and destroyed sowing equipment, causing massive hunger).

@saberiandream316 Russia had smaller history of violence than Great Britain, France and other colonizators, that killed millions of people in Africa, Asia, India and China, using them like slaves. Only Netherlands killed 10 000 000 civillians in Indonesia...

Felly Communists from scratch built education, medicine and industry in Russia. If 15% of the population were educated in the Empire, then in the USSR - 99%, education was free for everyone. Over the course of several years, more than 10,000 factories and plants were built in a country that until recently was completely agrarian and enslaved to landowners and nobles. The ideas of progressivism, the construction of science above all. The communists carried electricity and heating to every urban home in Russia. Launch of the first man and satellite into space, 2nd place in the world in sports and first in the health of the nation. Nuclear power plants, merchant ships and a shield against the US nuclear power. The achievements of the communists can be listed for a long time
