    Oh, I probably responded to that one someone else’s comment and forgot to bring it along with me.

    My mother has tried to convince me of that. The “and then it got worse” is part of the core of their culture. I don’t want to believe that’s true, mostly because things DID get better after Stalin died.

    I get that 500 years of state-subsidized alcoholism can greatly impact a nation, but surely they are capable of trying for something better.

      It was undoubtly good for russian civilians to get rid of Stalin’s imperialist ambitions and the huge human cost. Also great news for Nato, as it marked the beginning of the unipolar world chapter in history.

      Our mistake was to believe the unipolar dream would last forever. Thanks to the hundreds of worldwide US interventions and the unconditional european support with creepling sanctions now we have powerful enemies and today is more dangerous than even during the Cold War. I think is time stop pointing russians with our bloody fingers on every problem this world has. Also because China benefits from all of this situation.
