You're assuming they ONLY industrialized, and did so at athe rate that they did, because of socialism. Where is your proof that Tsar Nicholas and his would-be successors were anti-industrialization? How can you say, that Russia's industrialization would not have happened anyways. For all intents and purposes, history has proven Russia to be fairly competent, and contemporarily "current" in terms of world power, regardless of what sociopolitical system of rule that they operate under, so how can you claim "socialism" as causual?
