If it was all an evil capitalist conspiracy, why did the communists go along with it? Hmm?

It was not uncovered until much later that this scientific research was in fact a hoax to promote General Motors' business.

This is very easily verified with a web search. I would be happy to guide you to specific sources and readings as well.

Even the US, despite its heavy bias, admits how great scientific research in the USSR was.

Okay? And? The USSR was the center of a massive empire and exploited the hell out of that empire. They definitely had the resources to be the world's scientific runner up.
