I agree with you that the west downgrades the achievements of the soviets like the first satellite into space and the five year plans.Fuuny comparison,but China is unlike Soviet,we have no interest in changing others political idealogy. To be honest,Soviet did find out a new way for non west country to catch up with the West,it told the Human how to make national plans and execute it ,how to finish industrization quickly. The soviet did have too many shortcomings and its leaderships were too aggressive to their neibours including China,but the West downgrade the Soviet achievements too much after Cold War . The two big competitors of USA,Russia and China ,one was communism when it was superpower,one is still communism,that means something .
China's rise as a economic power started in the 80's which was the last decade of the USSR as a Union. The fight between the east and the west was also a fight of the two ideologies and don't get me wrong but sometimes I think the true successor of the soviet Union is not Russia but China.
PRC and Soviet Union have so much in common yet China has been the face of world economic growth for the last two decades. The difference is that while soviet tried and adhere to their ideology of growth with socialism China did the same with the help of communist capitalism.
