How would you know whom I read really.
It obviously did. Only it was usually called trophies and reparations.
They did buy the "means of production", the actual production lines to make those tanks, equipment of those, with gold.
Also engineers who would instruct Soviet engineers.
Mostly, there would be some industrial equipment really produced in USSR and really used, but Soviet heavy industries relied on pre-war American and German equipment till 80s or something. Well, no piece of equipment can last forever.
Why are you arguing about that really? What's so shameful in buying stuff? You think a mostly agrarian country can just build modern industries from scratch? Well it can't.
About WWII:
They would receive industrial equipment through lend-lease as well, and materials, even steel. Not just cars or canned food or rubber.
I guess we'll never know if you don't post anything other than WIKIPEDIA 😇
No that's ridiculous I just don't understand why that means they "weren't that good at industrializing really" lmao
Being able to organize those technology transfers while developing a backwards tributary state is awesome I hope we can agree
It's the stalin sell grain buy factory build tank meme, I can't find it
