    Nice monologue, kiddo, I’m sure an inattentive American might’ve bought into that, but you’ve happened to send this crap to a USSR-born Russian. XD

      Being born at the tail end of the Gorbachev years doesn’t make you an expert on socialism. Someone had to tell you eventually.

      And how much of the Soviet Union did you actually experience?

      Being born in the USSR means nothing if it was dissolved the next day and your only material experience is of post-soviet Russia undergoing shock-therapy.

      The vast majority of that “debt”, you claim she had, was only acquired after it’s dissolusion when it was forced to take on excessive IMF loans to pay for necessities that it used to produce self-sustainably, but was now restricted by arbitrary borders after being carved up.

      Ah yes, being born in a country makes you an expert on it and you are magically imbued with everything about its history with total accuracy. That’s why everyone born in the US is famous for being in total agreement on everything.

      You’re so fucking stupid, it actively pisses me off. You should play in traffic while juggling a chainsaw.

      I have heard that your people saw a significant drop in life expectancy and related HDI parameters after the dissolution.
      Is it like that? What is your view on it?
