The Myth of Soviet Innovation

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Leica II, 1932 – FED 1934.

The Soviet camera FED appeared 2 years after the German camera Leica II production facilities were seized. The similarity was so great that even in the Soviet Union it was called Leica for many years.

A common perception is that the post-war Soviet Union was ahead of the West in terms of innovation and design of new and upcoming products.  From the moment the German armed forces capitulated (Germany’s legitimate government never did so), the Soviets appeared to leap forward a generation in design and production.

Among Russians too there is a perception that the Soviet Union was one step ahead of the West in terms of technology development.  However, many people do not know that Soviet engineers plundered and copied much from the defeated Reich.

Russians who could afford it, especially those loyal to the Stalinist regime, were in awe of Soviet novelty.  The Soviet GUM stores boasted Soviet-made cameras, leisure goods, televisions, vacuum cleaners, telephones radios, fridges; everything designed to make life easier.

Ocean-going ships to pleasure craft, car assembly, pharmaceuticals and advances in transport, railway rolling stock, science, technology, and rocketry.  However, the Reich’s factories, workshops, and laboratories were systematically dismantled and shipped to the Soviet Union from May 1945 onward.

The Russians and peoples of the Soviet Bloc countries, 21 nations gifted to Stalin by Churchill and Roosevelt at the 1945 Yalta Conference, were captivated. Sadly, so were the brands and indeed everything else.

As soon as US President Roosevelt’s Lend-Lease Plan, aided by Churchill Murmansk convoys and Persian Corridor secured a Bolshevik victory the Reds shopping list was composed. Few are aware that engineers from the USSR plundered and copied much from the defeated Reich.

When the Reich fell on May 8, 1945, the assets of Germany, second only to the United States, fell into the hands of the victors. Within 36 months, the time taken for Hitler to create the world’s wealthiest nation, Germany was reduced to a shell.

Everything from a wristwatch to ocean liners, entire contents of factories, tens of thousands of cars, homes, the world’s most precious artworks, and 10 million slaves, were distributed among the British, the U.S. and Soviet Empires. Such was the scale of looting that it would have been difficult to find a bicycle in looted Germany.

The Soviet Union took the lion’s share of plunder from the defeated Reich. The greatest irony is that Poland was one of the 21 nations gifted to the USSR as plunder, the country for whose territorial integrity the war was started.

Carl Zeiss Jena Deltrintem 8×30, 1920 – Russian binoculars B 8×30, 1947 were German binoculars first produced in 1920. The Russian version of these binoculars appeared in 1947. Outwardly, they are slightly different, but both devices are almost identical.

V-2 rocket, technical name Aggregat 4 (A4), was the world’s first long-range guided ballistic missile. As Germany collapsed plunder teams from the Allied forces, the U.S. UK. and USSR, raced to capture key German manufacturing sites and technology. The first launch of the rocket took place in March 1942, and the first combat launch was launched on September 8, 1944 and after the seizure of the Reich’s assets in the USSR in 1947-1948.

Vacuum cleaner Moscow, 1954 – Lewyt Model 1947.

Vacuum cleaner ‘Moscow’ was later named ‘Uralets’ and was an exact copy of German vacuum cleaners, which started producing in Germany shortly after the war. After the war, Allied occupation troops considered it their right to select and acquire innovations and production facilities from German industries.

Grundig TK 820 ‘Specialist’, 1955 – Melody MG-56, 1956

1955 Grundig TK 820 ‘Specialist’ from the 1955 service manual:

The ‘Specialist’ TK 820 was a portable tape recorder capable of recording on 1/4″ magnetic tape. The machine is a dual track recorder and is able to record and play back in both directions. Two recording and two erase heads were fitted, offset for the respective upper and lower track positions.

Three loudspeakers were incorporated into the cabinet of the TK820 giving a wide range distribution of all audio frequencies.

There are additional images and a belt configuration diagram for this recorder on the CD-ROM. The Soviet tape recorder Melody MG-56 appeared one year later than the German tape recorder, and is an exact copy of the design and function of its sourced German technology.

Opel Kadett, 1937 – Moskvich 400, 1946.

The USSR immediately after the Second World War received the right to seize much German industry, including the Opel plant. The design of the car is slightly changed. In the USSR, the car was reassembled on the basis of surviving German copies, since part of the original documentation was lost.

      Seems like this is another thing that makes the united states and Russia very similar. Americans take the credit for all kinds of advancements, quite questionably. Things like flight, electricity and electronics, telephones, radio.

      One things the Russians blow us away at is that President Putins Russia protects its’ citizens from invaders by controlling its’ borders and protects its’ society from crumbling by not normalizing perversion.

      I’d say Russia is far ahead of us, and will survive while we self destruct into the pit of “diversity” and “inclusion”.

      It seems we have turned into everything I was taught as a child to fear about the “commies” and the “reds”.

      Which is another innovation of the west. Fear in order to control the masses.
