Well, other than their incredible successes in the space race.

Which they aren't doing now, but saying nothing since 1945 is a bit innaccurate.

That was not russia. That was the soviet union. People always forgot how rich the education and science was because the brightest minds from poland, over ukraine to kazakh came together. They were not all russians. Big parts of the russian culture when it comes to music and ballet were significantly shaped and directed by ukrainian born artists. You should not make the mistake to think the soviet union was russia. That is what Putin wants people to think - including their own citizens.
