Gorby's bad Russian

[ChrisD(RJ)]

Difficult to say. As far as I know Stalin strongly promoted talents from the
provinces. Khrushchev was more like Brezhnev. Anyway, if there had been any
difference it was not very big, much less than Brezhnev era compared with
today. In fact, the highest sociakl mobility was immediatelly after the
revolution.

I do know that one of the problems plaguing the late USSR was oversaturation
of the work force. You had a hugely educated population every member of
which the state was obliged to find an appropriate job for, and not enough
appropriate jobs out there. So science labs, plants, etc., would be flooded
with technicians and specialists with nothing to do.
