After the USSR dissolved in 1991, the Former Soviet Republics and their allies experienced different economic and political outcomes. In the economics literature, there is substantial evidence that technological improvements drive long-term economic growth, which in turn are impacted by a population's cultural proximity to the World Technology Frontier because of translation, adoption, and imitation costs. I investigate to what extent cultural - specifically linguistic - distance from the World Technology Frontier prevents technology diffusion, whether those effects are exacerbated by political tensions, and whether they have persisted in the post-Cold War Era. I find that linguistical distance from the World Technology Frontier is associated with barriers to technology adoption and lower economic growth, and that those effects are higher in the Soviet Bloc. Finally, there appears to be a negative Cold War legacy in terms of income growth, but not for technology adoption.
