Since the USSR doesn't exist anymore, sources like the IMF won't display historical GDP for it. I am was wondering if there is any source listing both the countries GDP for comparison, or at least the Soviet GDP from say 1950 until its collapse in 1991. US GDP I can get from the IMF website.

For example here is nominal/PPP GDP ratio of some middle income countries today: Russia 77% Ukraine 50% Poland 66% Turkey 72% Thailand 57%
