Clearly China doesnt fit into Orlovs idea of an empire as a wealth pump that sucks from the periphery to enrich the centerthis is true of course of exploitation-based imperial projects such as western colonialismbut is clearly not applicable to the Chinese model, which has been both the biggest and most durable empire in human historyso that is a big hole in Orlovs theory, It is true that the USSR was a fundamentally different kind of empire from the exploitative western colonialismand it is also true that it ultimately did not succeedalthough it managed to accomplish almost incomprehensible progress in modernization, science and technologyand industrializationthe foundations of Russian strength today rest squarely on the foundations put in place during the Stalin era, Elsewhere on this site there is a brilliant series of essays by Ramin Mazaheri about the tumultuous cultural revolution of the 1960sand why it was necessaryRussia also needed a cultural revolution around this timethe system needed to be rejigged to better serve the peoplein living standardfairness and justiceopportunity for social advanceetc, But it never happenedinstead the system became more sclerotic than everand the welfare of the people stagnatedat the very moment in time when the capitalist west, especially the United States, was able to reign in the appetites of its parasite class and provide the people with a decent share of its [largely ill-gotten, by means of global finance colonialism] gains[during the postwar decades, the share of national wealth of the 0.1 percent fell to an all time low of about 7 percentabout a quarter of historic, and current levels], This was the golden age in the USwell paying jobs in industry were plentiful and the company president made perhaps ten times what the shop floor worker took homea second household income was completely unnecessaryuniversity education at state colleges was practically free, The life of the Soviet citizen in the1960s was not too far behindStalins five year plans in the1930s had created an industrial powerhouseit was Russias ability to produce that allowed it to prevail over Germany in the existential warand despite the devastation of the people, cities and countryside Russia was able to quickly become a technological superpoweras an aerospace engineer I have a deep appreciation of the depth and breadth of Russian technical achievements and the basic scientific advances that made that possiblethe US was laughably left in the dust, despite having skimmed the cream of Nazi Germanys technical scientific talentand contrary to what US propaganda would have the people believe, China in the postwar era was starting from scratchmillions were in danger of starving, and many didthere was no industry nor infrastructure to speak ofMaos great leap forward lifted several hundred million souls out of the very real possibility of perishingthe foundations of industry, some of which were already in place thanks to Russian help were systematically builtcompared to Russia and the US China started from 100 years backalthough its worth noting that 200 years ago China was the worlds biggest and most prosperous economy by far, So these are the broad historical strokes of the 20th centuryits useless to talk about empires as some kind of pumps without first understanding these basic dynamicsthe simple fact is that China has done everything right in the last 70 yearswhile Russia did great [and smart] things under Stalin and the momentum of those accomplishments managed to carry over for a couple of more decades, before the system crumbled, due to lack of renewal, Chinas communist party again showed its dexterity by making yet another renewal in the1980sallowing a limited and pragmatic capitalism to carve out a niche for itself and help millions to achieve prosperitymuch is made in the ridiculous western press about Chinas billionaires, but hundreds of millions of peasants and street level business people making a better life for themselves is where the real story lies, Of course the massive Chinese empire has been adapting like this for centuries, if not millenniaRussia with the Soviet Union only needed to make similar smart adjustmentsinstead they threw out the baby with the bathwaterlets see where Russia goes from here, but with people like Siluanov and Nabiullina in charge of the nations money, I am not optimistic.
