I’m going to have to respectfully disagree with you on this. That may be the case in most of the rest of the Russian economy but at least as far as the military industrial sector (as well as parts of the extractive industries, most notably oil and gas) is concerned, Russia’s is state owned to a significant degree and functions more like China’s (which is not to say that it is like it was in the USSR as China itself follows a more mixed economic model than the strictly command economy of the Soviet Union) than like the US and Europe’s.
So is modern Russia’s. We just got a bit of leftover Soviet infrastructure and engineers
