Economies don’t radically alter because they worked too well . The USSR was an experiment using communist ideology and ultimately it failed. Deng saw this failure and adjusted the economic system to adapt to the current global economy.
It is anti-materialist to pin the blame of the USSR on a single person, into the 1980s the government by all accounts was incredibly corrupt and engaged in 2 imperialist wars.
understanding past failures is required for future improvement :chairman-meow:

As noted in other comments, you're going to have to point to exactly where this "failure" was. The Russian Revolution resulted in a significant short term boom in domestic productivity as well as an explosion in education, infrastructure, and resulting new technologies. One of Russia's biggest economic drivers in the modern day remains it's space program, ffs, and the bulk of that system was constructed in the 60s and 70s when the country was supposedly "in decline".
The biggest contraction in the Russian economy in the last 50 years happened in the wake of the USSR breaking up. Not before it, but because of it.

This is an incredibly blinkered reactionary view. Afghanistan was being covertly armed and organized against Russia prior to the invasion. Might as well suggest China is corrupt and imperialist by pointing at Uyghur Genocide as to blame Russia for Operation Cyclone.
