One can argue that Soviet Union was a great achievement in 1922, but Stalin hijacked it.

1922: ·Official founding of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

April 1922: ·Stalin elected General Secretary of the Communist Party

January 4, 1923: ·Lenin warns the Party to remove Stalin from his position of power.

January 21, 1924: ·Death of Lenin. Stalin survives the reading of the Testament by the Central Committee in May.

Or read Animal Farm.

The USA was a great achievement, but has been hijacked too, after a while.
