Innovations to space travel, and huge contributions to literature. I'd say pretty good
russian literature is GOAT, not so much with other arts

Russia's literature is god like.
There are also high tier musicians like Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky.
Good contributions to science after importing German/nazi scientists that teached them space related technology.
That's it I guess. I Love pre-socialist Russia btw

Russia was already advanced in rocket science before importing German scientists. Before even communism, see:

Lots of good composers.
Not very good considering their high population.
