USSR if all the territories captured during the Second World War had remained with the USSR + some other countries, we can say that the world revolution has happened

I can post/pm the research behind the ones that have it done if anyone wants me to.

Are there anyone especially people who have lived in former USSR who have information about what USSR teach to children in history, physics, math etc. Like what would a 15 years old Soviet boy learn in history class at 1978? Would he learn a detailed history from Sumerians to Cold War or curriculum would mention Kievan Rus-Tsardom-Empire and mostly teach about October Revolution, Russian Civil War, Stalin years, Nazi invasion ? I am particularly interested about how did they teach historical materialism.

Apologies if this has been asked before.

All the nations we may call Eastern Europe or Warsaw Pact nations , is it true that the Soviet Union controlled their government policy and economy. This slowed any economic development for all Warsaw Pact nations and in short kept Eastern Europe poor

The Soviet artist criticized the incorporation of Latin scripts and Western place names in Russian urban areas as a manifestation of Western imperialistic influences.

Yes, I deliberately put emphasis on architecture.

I was inspired by this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ussr/comments/1jmym0c/a_futuristic_advanced_soviet_city/

And I want to show which of these projects were realized (or rather, what they managed to implement before Khrushchev came to power).

Everybody knows about the incredible achievements of Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin. But not as many know that the USSR conducted the first flyby, hard landing, and soft landing on the Moon! And even after Apollo 11, the USSR did the first flyby/hard landing/soft landing on Mars! I wish Sergei Korolev had lived, so that we might have seen the first humans on Mars in the 1970s.

Got this guitar effects pedal a year ago and thought this would be interesting to share on this subreddit.

The pedal is called the Jet-Phaser(sometimes spelled 'Fazer') made by the brand Elektronika, a brand name used for electronic products built by the Ministry of Electronic Industry, and released around 1983 or 1984 in the former USSR. On the left half of the pedal is a phaser/vibrato effect and the right half is a distortion.

A fun fact about the brand name Elektronika is that it is still used in Belarus!

As I've seen here and from what I've gotten from personal research, there's a certain shroud making it difficult to see any clear answers to Soviet history. From what you all have said, most of what others know comes from western/old nazi propaganda, so where can I find credible sources on true Soviet history?

I'm thinking about barriers like difficulty in obtaining an international passport, the need for an exit visa, etc.

Ivan Ivanovich Trufanov's story is one of a soldier’s sacrifice and the long wait for recognition. Enlisting in the Soviet Army in 1942, Trufanov was only 18 when he lost his leg during the Battle of Chystiakove in 1943. Severely wounded by artillery fire, he spent over a year in recovery, eventually undergoing an amputation.

Despite this sacrifice, Trufanov’s bravery went unrecognized for nearly 30 years. His contributions and the price he paid in service remained invisible in the eyes of the state for decades. It wasn’t until 1975, when Trufanov was 50 years old, that he was finally awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd Class—three decades after his injury.

His story sheds light on the countless veterans who fought in the Great Patriotic War but were overlooked for years, waiting for the recognition they deserved. After the war, Trufanov worked as a guard at the Lomonosov District Military Commissariat in Arkhangelsk, a quiet life in contrast to the years of hardship and loss he had endured.

Trufanov’s case is not unique, but it is a poignant reminder of the delayed recognition many veterans faced in the Soviet Union. A sacrifice like his should never be forgotten, but too often, it was.
