What happened between 1980 and 2000 in Russia? Why did it turn into a third world country?
Russia
its the jews overthrowing the white nationalist USSR
this but unironically
...
It was always a third world country. It just went from being a third world country with a massive rickety army to being a third world country with a somewhat smaller, rickety army.
I heard somewhere that when the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia's GDP was the size of the Netherlands, I couldn't believe it...
Smaller actually. Pic is 1998, the worst year of the Russian economic crisis.
It always was a third-world country, a primitive industrial shithole propped up by natural resources and oppressive communist government. As soon as the USSR imploded Russia was unable to sustain its shitty polluting heavy industry so the economy went into the shitter. Since it didn't adopt good economic policy like neoliberalism, it regressed to a feudal system of petty oligarchs who strangled all attempts at competition and used the government to aid their exploitation of the common man.
