Comment on Soviet Leisure Time by cgwoodward
I can totally understand how this complex was seen as a symbolic representation of the Soviet Union’s transformation of this time.

Comment on Shoot For The Moon. Even If The Cosmonaut Misses He’ll Land Among The Stars by cgwoodward
I wonder if the Soviet Union wasn’t in a space race with the United States at this time if people still would have thought of the Cosmonauts as heroes or if they would be frustrated that government money was being spent on going to space rather than helping the poor on the ground?

Thank you for your feedback and for answering my questions! Caroline, above, pointed me to the same re-framed question of how did the Soviets prevail; I would argue that their success was allowed by their ability to industrialize and mobilize but also by German failures.
