Soviet Superscience: Difference between revisions

* Real life averted: late-70s tinfoil hatter "Dr." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Beter Peter Beter] (believe it or not, his real name) entertained many fantasies about Soviet technology, including the existence of "cosmospheres", which were apparently large, blimp-like spacecraft. His, er, theories were carried into the 1990s by noted Usenet kook Robert [[Mc Elwaine]].

* Subversion. A lot of Russia's best technology has never been super-science, but [[Boring but Practical]]. The T-34 tank is considered by some to have been the best of [[World War II]] and Soviet small arms have long been quite good. On the less bellicose side, Russia makes some pretty good bush planes and similar heavy weather equipment.
