The USSR's economy grew massively and quickly after WWII. It's a country that went from literal feudalism to modernity in one generation, becoming one of the two superpowers largely dictating world politics.

"Massively and quickly" seems optimistic. USSR grew at or below the rate of most European economies post war:

A bit hyperbolic, but this is a thread claiming that the USSR grew far more slowly than the rate of capitalist Europe post war.

It went from feudalism to more technologically advanced feudalism, and remains there today.
