The USSR wasn't poor in itself either, it just completely failed at its job and poured all the money into manufacturing and building up power to rival the US, instead of distributing it to the people per communist values. As such you can't really say that they, or just about every communist country, were actually truly communist - they followed a twisted, totalitarian corruption of communism. The only time that communism was close to being on track was in the USSR, during Lenin's time. He actually did distribute wealth among the people of the USSR and gave them complete control of the factories or the fields they worked. Thanks to the civil war it took a while for him to finally get it started, but he died before it could get far, and Stalin flipped it completely on its head.
