    world class scientists

    And then killed some of them once they were no longer useful to the state, and continued to ignore scientists’ warnings about the instability of USSR infrastructure

      give me a few examples please. The only stories of that kind I’ve heard, where of Prokofev and Theremin, but otherwise, i’m not well aware of the matter.

        You can look at Chornobyl as an example, granted that was near the end of the soviet union

          ChAES was a disaster, not a deliberate sabotage to kill the scientists, so i honestly fail to see how your example, of all other possibie ones, demonstrates that soviets somehow were worse than others, considering that everyone with access to the atomic and related advancements had committed a portion of their own mistakes in the field.
