>I posted a pic of how people lived in the USSR.
And I can post other pictures. It would be very nonfactual to say that people were still living the same in 1967 compared to 1917. Urbanization happened at a rapid rate, and those remaining in villages lived more comfortably because of modern amenities reaching them. They were given TVs, electricity, washing machines, more education opportunities for their children, better food security, etc.
>At the cost of how many lives?
Westoid meme counts about the death rate aren't real and industrialization was never a bloodless or clean process anywhere. More lives were saved through the eventual modernization of Russia.
>Also you really underestimate how progressive Imperial Russia was.
I don't necessarily hate Imperial Russia, but the late-Imperial economic boom is overrated. It had favorable global economic conditions such as wheat prices and involved more elementary industries, the Soviet Union is what transitioned that elementary industrial growth to more advanced manufacturing such as aerospace engineering and precision manufacturing.
Not to mention that it's unlikely it would have continued on anyways. Again, late Imperial Russia had favorable conditions and was also based on the leniency of western business tycoons to pour investments into Russia. The Great Depression would have taken enough of a hit, and the natural resource abundance of Russia would lead to Dutch disease. The Soviet Union saved our Empire and modernized it.
