yes, but evidently, ussr was fumbling semiconductors and consumer electronics for decades, despite them being not that hard to do (hard, but not that hard).
it allows, but wasn’t allowed to, they may pioneer some tech, but then adopt it after western consumers proved it feasibility for mass production.
Wasn’t the export of new strategic computer technology and sophisticated electronics machinery to the Soviet Union literally banned during the Cold War?
