Ok, let's talk about scientific success in USSR. I'd like to see sources to lasers, microwave ovens and TVs which were invented by Soviets.
So, GPS wasn't invented by Soviets and nobody is listening to Soviet radiobeats. What's your point then?
And I'm still wondering about that mysterious Soviet microwave oven in 1941.

I've said "scientific achievements "made in USSR" which ordinary people still use in their daily lives" So, yes, basically - commercial achievements for ordinary people.
Sure. Good luck trying to sell iPhone copies.

Soft contact lenses were invented by Czech scientists. Synthetic diamonds were created by French chemist in 19th century.

What numerous factors are you talking about? Did they got a mention in emperor's address?
Yes. But if atomic bombs were mentioned as a reason for surrender, why you're calling it a myth?
Ю it disproves the myth (used to justify the atom bombs) that only being nuked forced them to consider surrender. How is this a myth if nukes were mentioned in emperor's address as a reason to surrender?
