On the other hand, I wonder if the 'Soviet empire' had that much chances to
begin with. Russia was a poor country and drained by war when the Soviets took
over. Later on, there was an economic blockade by the West, then the attack by
Hitler, then again the economic blockade and a costly nuclear arms race etc. If
the Soviet Empire was an experiment to test Communism, it wasn't exactly
performed under the most favorable of circumstances.
O.K.
