Answer:

Nope

Step-by-step explanation:

The soviet economic is probably a really fragile yet a fascinating structure. For instance, they have been pretty much the only nation, not only to get by the Great Depression without facing severe economic hardships, but in fact multiplied their production rates and its total industrial outputs, as they were largely cut off from economic banking and trade and not being subject to demand shocks. But what happened?

After the war, roughly a quarter of the country's capital resources had been destroyed, and industrial and agricultural output in 1945 fell far short of prewar levels. It never had the chance to get back to where it was before.

Corruption was the main reason why the soviet economy had collapsed. This fragile economic system was identified and targeted by the US during the Cold War.

If you are interested on how the soviet economy works, you can check out this yt video by a channel called "Casual Scholar" ( I ain't sure if I am allowed to post external links here)

Hope I could answer your question!
