True. But there's this kind of nostalgia for communism and what started the revanchism of the late '90s in KGB officials and Putin that stopped Russia's evolution in a free country. Kind of sad, they have now the worst of both worlds
Russia has never been a free country, tsars, communists, oligarchy.
It never was. But for a brief time, it was on the verge of becoming one. Then came Putin
In the beginning it looked promising, even talk of joining NATO

That attitude already though.. otherwise it could have been the beginning of a bright future
