Less than 2% of waste is traded internationally, the blame is still on undeveloped countries that just use the ocean as a dump

Russia was already an economic powerhouse, fastest growing economy after the abolition of serfdom, and while they did get richer by exploiting and looting their neighbors with the help of the Nazis (what happened to the eastern part of Poland; and who drove tanks into Hungary to keep them their puppet?), they were much poorer than all their European counterparts; and even Japan, a country with less than a third of its population, no natural resources, that had been ravaged by the war, and had not one but two atomic bombs dropped in them, as well as intense napalm strikes over its country, had a greater economy than the USSR (in absolute terms, per Capita it wasn’t even close). The USSR was a total failure, only second to Mao’s China, or Pol Pots Cambodia.
