The shock liberalization of the Russian economy caused a massive drop in the quality of life that lead to millions of deaths and created the conditions for a strong arm man like Putin to come to power.
My new favorite bit for Ukraine libs hating on Putin is to say "So you agree, the world would be a better place if the USSR was never overthrown?"
They also hate China because "it has billionaires," so I like asking them if they're Maoists.
Why else would you not want China to have billionaires? I don't think Elon Musk minds that other countries have them
A lot of them have in their mind that Putin is seeking to re-create the USSR. If only!
