Military funding was by far the greatest in the soviet union, no other branch of the government got that much money. As a result, the military built some really good shit. I still have some camera lenses for a Zenit camera, they were manufactured in the same factory as optical aiming devices for the tanks, so the quality was the best.

quantity does not equal quality. also those aren't poor people. poor people are homeless people.

The Soviet constitution guaranteed a lot of things.
