Ok, let's talk about scientific success in USSR. I'd like to see sources to lasers, microwave ovens and TVs which were invented by Soviets.

So, GPS wasn't invented by Soviets and nobody is listening to Soviet radiobeats. What's your point then?

> save on having to grind prescription glasses for people Are you implying that removing cornea and re-attaching it will be _cheaper_ than grinding prescription glasses?

And I'm still wondering about that mysterious Soviet microwave oven in 1941.

1. Lasers? Invented by Soviets? 2. Vladimir Zworykin was a Soviet scientist? Really? 3. First soviet nuclear power plant was highly classified. First commercial nuclear power plant…

For stealing Western tech? Look at glorious Soviet cars, for example. Now look at glorious Soviet massframe computers.
