When Germany invaded Russia, Stalin had as many steel factories and weapons factories dismantled and moved farther into the interior via rail. The fact that they were able to do that in such a short time, and get as many factories back on line as quickly as possible is something of a miracle.
I don’t disagree, and their production was massive, unlike now
My only point was not about US aid, but about basically Russian Mir, and how the Russians have created a narrative about mother Russia, it’s history, it’s significance, it’s importance, it’s dreams and desires or should I say Putin’s dreams and desires.
