Russia's main exports throughout the [[Cold War]] were [[AK-47]]s and T-62 [[tank]]s. When [[Hitler]] invaded in mid 1941 Russia was unprepared, and spent the entirety of [[World War II]] bringing its [[military industrial complex|weapons manufacturing capacity]] up to strength. When the [[Second World War]] ended, Soviet arms production didn't stop. For the next half century only a portion of Soviet manufacturing was ever converted to the peacetime domestic production of [[consumer]] goods, eventually leading to the collapse of the Soviet [[economy]] and state. The end of [[Cold War I]] brought a pledge from the new Russian leaders to end the declaration of worldwide [[Marxist]] revolution and the export of AK-47s, in exchange for membership in the [[IMF]] and [[G8]], and access to [[World Bank]] loans.
