    The Soviet economy collapsed because it focused only on producing Ivan Drogos, to the exclusion of all other goods.

    At the end of World War 2 Stalin personally visited Hitler's bunker in hopes of challenging him to a Kung Fu duel but the bastard already blew his brains out in fear

    In ww2 only half of the soviet army have guns because the other half can catch bullets with their hand and kill nazis with a single touch

    Is it not okay to ask professors what the fuck they're on about? Like, was this a place where literally everybody was kung Fu fighting? If I'm laying good money to hear someone say weird shit like that, I wouldn't let it go ever

      Sounds like the prof misspoke, to be honest. Probably meant "martial" state.

      Still worth speaking up about, but not as ridiculous as "martial arts" state.

        It's still funny and I'd totally have to point it out. But yeah, that's a statement that needs follow up questions

    Let's be real tho, all the post-Soviet states absolutely kill it in the martial arts game. Just look at the number of them who put up competitors in olympic wrestling or the highest levels of MMA. You come out of the womb in Kyrgyzstan with cauliflower ear

    Probably not what they are talking about. But Sambo was the Soviet martial art.

    Its as effective as you would imagine. Many MMA fighters come from a Sambo background, including former champions and even legitime all time greats like Fedor Emelianenko and Khabib Nurmagomedov. A huge percentage of the army of Caucasus fighters taking over the MMA world obviously have a background is Sambo.
