It's crazy what Russia could have been instead of the cleptocracy it ended up as.
I mean if you look through russian history, it's a pretty common theme.
One of the jokes is that the history of Russia can be summed up in one short sentence: "And then things got worse"
Fun fact, even with the mass murders and repeated famines of Lenin and Stalin, the life of the average Russian peasant got better after the revolution.
Which just says how horrible life was under the Tsars.
The common people of that area of the world have been fucked over for centuries.
"In Russia, everything changes in 10 years, but nothing changes in 100 years." Well-known quote in Russia
