Russia, USSR and the Russian empire are basically the same geopolitical entity.
They've never not been a dictatorship and you don't need admissions or highlights to innovate. And even if they did, i addressed failures of leadership in my last comment.
I guess you could argue that the dual problem of having a tight war economy and an idiot dictator are like twin dragons, one can't resolve the other without undermining itself.
