The USSR was still recovering from the massive economic destruction due to WWI, the
several revolutions, and the disruptions/famines/etc of the 1920s. The Soviet Union didn't

You have to discount that whole mass starvation thing, but you can figure Russia was so

massive previously unmet demand. Since industry counts more in some measures of
economy, that could compare well to economies that shut down capacity during the
depression because of relative lack of demand.
