    Centralized agricultural planning in pre-soviet Russia was still better than what the Soviets implemented

    Life expectancy was 28 years old before the Bolsheviks, after the land reforms and WW2 life expectancy rose dramatically to 60, what on Earth are you talking about

      In 1845 it was 29, in 1920 it was 25, in 1945 it was 23.

      They didnt beat 50 until the USSR had been around for 30 years.

        LMFAO you literally went to the first google link provides on “life expectancy of Russia historic”, the Statista website, and purposefully cherrypicked the two lowest points in the history of the USSR, which coincide with wars they famously didn’t start (first being the civil war, second being WW2).

        Why not pick 1930, the second year since land collectivization began, with the 37 years of life expectancy already (higher than at any point during Tsarism)? Why not pick 1940 with 41.5 years of life expectancy before Nazis invaded the USSR and murdered 27 million people?

        You’re a fucking joke lmao trying to lie to yourself by cherrypicking the lowest values coinciding with wars imposed on the Soviet Union
