the difference is in scale and tone, the us hired and put these people in positions of power, a lot ended up working in nasa and were never treated as second class citizens. the soviet program instead was characterized by forced relocation, isolation and eventual repatriation. they were essebtially assetts, not your buddy from the office. they were literally taken at gun point as war repatriations, and never held any meaningful positions of power, were not integrated into russian society like they did on the west. but what would you know about this, if youd never even had the chance of running an anarchist society or whatever u ppl “theorize”
