Did the Soviets advance Russia or did the captured Nazi scientists advanced Russia?
Would Tsarist Russia have advanced if they too had stolen German scientists?

Most of the notable people in tsarist Russia were foreigners anyway.

As administrators of the Baltic region, a few were generals and only one was a historian, mainly the man who came up with that meme of a Normanist theory.

Both, actually.Their technology was mainly developed by Korolev and his team, not by captured Germans.

And as thinkers & innovators. the Latter Russian empire was obsessed in Western European links after all.
As military officers.
Hell as your ruling dynasty fucking kek.

>Thinkers and innovators
Vastly outnumbered by local contemporaries and the ruling dynasty only became German when the Gottorp-Holstein branch became next in line of succession.
The only truly notable German thinker and intellectual was Gerhard Friedrich Müller, the co-founder of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Russia was already on their way with rocket technology, with the Katyusha rocket artillery being the best example of the Soviet's early work.
German scientists did definitely play a large part in kickstarting the space program, but to say it was all the work of captured germans and not a combination of them and minds like Korolov is disingenuous.

Katyushas is one of the coolest weapons of WW2

It's mostly Korolov's work, according to them, the German designs were simply incapable of launching anything, let alone surviving the flight.
