Shitty bureaucratic state that had too much to micromanage

>>2705972

they did

they had cellphones in cars or carried around in briefcases in the 70is and so on, used a lot of computers they produced and programmed, they had programmers and IT guys and everithing

they had no market for it tho

besides they didnt realy aim at comercial use, state use, military or space aplications at most

i mean a russian invented tetris remember

All those Russians moved to the US

Communism inherently works against individual entrepreneurship and "IT" development only works if the creative individual is allowed room to "play".

there was a large culling and deportation of entrepreneurs/landlords and people who were generally wealthier than others during the transition into communism, we call it the "dekulakization", similar to the great leap forward in china. this put selective pressure against intelligence and ingenuity in the russian peoples. there is a decent chance that it's relevant.

communism. not even once.

Cybernetics was politically disfavored so research got no funding.

I'd argue they were pretty successful. They were the first to the moon, mars, and venus, with robots. They had a giant water computer which could model massive calculations with extreme precision.

The IT revolution didn't really take on in the USA until the 90s anyway. Russia wasn't communist at the time.

I am against communism too but a lot of people in this thread are replying with shit pulled from their ass when it takes a fucking second to do a little research into the matter.

Actually, an impressive computer-operated central planning system was developed by an English engineer for Chile that could have improved the planned economy and made it viable (insomuch as stopping it from collapsing).

The soviet politicians dug their own grave by denouncing cybernetics as a "bourgeois pseudoscience".

Russians never were the brightest stock, but socialism finished them all for good, now they are just a bunch of oligophrens uncapable of any productive work or elementary order, just look at OP picture. Source: t. Russian
