It appears that you simply don't understand the definition of the word "science", nor the meaning of "scientific". Thus your posts mix up "science", "innovation" and "commerce". You can't measure USSR in terms of "commercial success", as there were no commerce.
Microwave: you can look for the excerpts from the magazine "Trud" from 13 June 1941 (in Russian). Scientists explained their experiments with using ultra-high frequency waves for heating up meat.
Lasers, TVs: check my previous answer.
If you want to know more about scientific success in USSR, please find yourself a course on history and philosophy of science / informatics. Soviet scientists did a lot contributions to the scientific community, including in such areas like chemistry, cybernetics, neurophysiology, psychology among others, just like any other big country in the world.
I was particularly interested in the history of sound synthesis in the 1930s, which I personally find fascinating (Evgeny Scholpo, Arseny Avraamov, Boris Yankovsky). They basically implemented spectral resynthesis and wavetable techniques using light and film! The sad thing is that this history has been stocking in archives until someone accidentally found them.

Those excerpts miraculously appeared only in 2013, when another wave of Russian nationalism sweeped over.
Consider me suspicious.

No. Other big countries made _actual_ inventions (US, UK, France, Germany).
You've crossed way, way over the line into nationalist flamewars on HN, repeatedly. You've routinely been uncivil to other users, and your comment have been so fixated on one (already off-topic) political agenda as to make this a single-purpose account. We ban accounts that do these things, so I've banned this one.
If you don't want to be banned on HN, you're welcome to email [email protected] and promise not to abuse the site like this in the future.
I'd better consider you a russophobic. Quite typical for eastern Europe, and ex-USSR countries.

There is no Russian nationalism. You see is the distorted and fragmented reality, projected onto you from your media (I'm wandering what). The problem is that you don't really understand what are you talking about and what is the purpose of your discussion. Your messages are not connected with a single subject, you use slongans, populisms, trumpisms, but no substance. I've seen this in 2014–2015 when the Russian media were brainwashing people at insane rates.
It sounds like you know a lot about things many of us know little about, which is great, but on HN it's necessary to express those things civilly and not to respond to provocation by flaming people. If you can't do that, please don't post here until you can. This site values civility and substantiveness in discussion and is trying (not always successfully) for a higher-than-internet-median quality level.
So, yes, basically - commercial achievements for ordinary people.
