Keep in mind Russia is a massive country and trains are amazing at transporting freight over long distances. So they have a lot of regions and industries depending on the railroad. Much more so then in most other countries. Some places can hardly be reached by road, but can be reached on train.

Lets be honest, they (or at least the people with power) were dickheads before and during too. It's just that pretty much anyone looks good put next to the Nazis.

The 80s it is then, I guess. Hopefully my vision is still good enough to appreciate it.
