Their whole history consists of shitty authoritian governments. Parts that do not are even worse.

>>2528094
The period that encompasses their non-existence.

It hasn't happened yet

t. Spengler

Either right after almost singlehandedly winning WW2 or right before USA landed on the moon when they were crushing the space race

In terms of internal development, technology, economy, infrastructure, standard of living, etc it's the late 50s and early 60s

In terms of military power and political influence, the 70s

Brezhnev Era was the only time in the history of Russia when living was decent for most people. It's quite unfair how it became know as an "age of stagnation".

like Putin, he was lucky the oil market was kind to exporters.

oil prices crashed right after Brezhnev left. Which caused the Soviet economy to collapse and food lines to return.

Gorbachev(still alive amazingly), tried to do as China and reform the economy into state capitalism. Yet hard liners overthrew him. then they were overthrown, and another coup, and then Yeltsin.
