Use a text editor like notepad. I prefer Notepad++, which is open source.
1. Search for your country tag, ie SOV.
2. Under your country's section, search for "application =" (don't include the ").
3. For each tech you are researching you should find something like:
progress = 100.00
progress = 100.00
progress = 23.34
progress = 0.00
progress = 0.00
status = 'ongoing'
there will be a group of 5 "progresses", since tech research usually consists of 5 distinct phases or components of the total tech research need. In the above example, the tech research is really 63.34% done, because each of the 5 components are 20% of the total.
Try changing all but the last progress = 100.00; and the 5th one to 99.00;
leave status = 'ongoing'. Resume game and let it progress 1 day or til it completes.

Is that what you are asking?
This won't help. You'll get about a thousand different hits for your country tag (every trade agreement, every diplo relations level, every past battle, etc), and you won't be able to tell them apart.
Instead, start up your saved game. Type :
<F12> showid <enter>
<F12> <enter>
Now point yoiur cursor at Moscow. Down in the bottom right corner of the screen, it will show you the ID code of the province of Moscow. Write the number down.
Now quit your saved game (don't save) and open the save in Notepad.
Search for : capital = ####
... with a single space on each side of the = sign, and #### being the ID code that you obtained from the <F12> showid console command. That will take you directly to the USSR section of the save. Then proceed as outlined above.
