Tbf, they were quite good. Yes, they did take in German scientists and hardware to boost heir rocket program, but they mainly used them to transfer knowledge, and then dumped most of those scientists. And after that, they had indeed several very impressive feats. Like that Venus probe thing. I think that one was one of the best.

I’ve seen plenty of tankies boasting that the Soviets were great space scientists.

Ambiguous question.
Were the Soviets great scientists? Meh, they had their own version of Operation Paperclip.
Were tankies going to be tankies? Nope, no doubt ever.

The ones who beat the US at every part of the space race until the moon landing? Those Soviets?

Read up on the actual history.
The Soviets were using the same Nazis as the Americans, they didn’t invent anything.
The US had announced that they were going to send up a satellite on a particular day. The Soviets jumped the gun to win.
The goal was always getting a man on the Moon. Both Verne and H G Wells wrote about it in the 1800s. If anyone ever wrote a epic novel about a man orbiting the Earth I never heard of it.
And the Soviets killed a dog.

Do you think Margaret Hamilton was a Nazi? Korolev? Goddard? Tsiolkovsky?

Translation.
“I can’t refute anything in Dagwood’s comment, so I’ll throw in some irrelevant stuff to cover up.”
