Nah. Not consistent with the post-WWII relative growth of Germany

call the USSR's post-WWII recovery "fast" by comparison with the

According to Maddison's stats, the Soviet era was the only time that
Russia narrowed the income gap with the "West." Ditto most of Eastern
Europe, at least until the late 1970s/early 1980s.
