Is this some contemporary soviet propaganda? I mean all the people who died for political reasons or because the state economy was mismanaged probably don't care much about these achievements.
(To borrow from Cowbee's comment a bit) Wealth inequality was far lower in the Soviet Union's socialist system than the Tsarist system before it, the capitalist system after it was overthrown (obviously), and than western capitalist countries in the same time period.

Funny you focus on whatever this is and conveniently ignore the millions murdered by the state.
I'm here because my family escaped that shit.
Exactly. This is probably a moron who read about USSR on facebook. Those were horrible times full of oppression and corruption. I was raised in one of the sattelite countries and no. Those were bad very bad times unless you were a child of a small corrupted russian boot licker.
Facebook, classic bastion of Communism.
Did you ignore the linked study on wealth disparity and the 2 history books?
Who needs new, dissonant information when we’ve got common sense?
