  • Russians and their conspiracy theories)))) inseparable.

  • The twentieth century has left many a dark moment to be revisited in order to understand the course of history of financial, economic, as well as personal relationships between the most powerful people on the globe and how it effected the lives of larger masses of people in various countries. As the Russian saying goes, fish rots starting with its head. I think, should one decided to heal, the will to do so would originate in the same quarters.

  • It all boils down to a political will on the part of the power holding elite as to whether to steer the economy in the direction of the common good based on the ideas of public service, justice, and fair play, or to abuse one's position of power and relentlessly follow the call of the basest human instincts.

  • The Soviet political and economic system had undergone considerable alterations throughout its more than 70 years of existence before it finally was brought to its inglorious finale. There were periods of general upheaval and economic growth as well as the lengthy period of political and economic stagnation in the USSR.

  • It is a false myth propagated deliberately that the SU collapsed because its

    economy could not function any more. The Soviet economy was brought down

    deliberately by those same people who later would privatize that economy and

    come into de jure possession of all the stuff that they themselves had proclaimed

    to be all Soviet people's for decades before that.

  • The rich elites, the Western corporations on the one side and the Soviet rogue leadership on the other, had colaborated together and plotted all along with one aim in mind to cheat their peoples out of their livelihoods. Ask ordinary working people anywhere, including in the US, if it is not evident now who it is truly to benefit from all those changes, the global reconstruction.

  • Life back in the Soviet Union was economically sustanable. It is a false myth propagated deliberately that the SU collapsed because its economy could not function any more. The Soviet economy was brought down deliberately by those same people who later would privatize that economy and come into de jure possession of all the stuff that they themselves had proclaimed to be all Soviet people's for decades before that.

  • @roneaone that's just ignorant! I lived in Soviet Union for 15 years and I can personally testify to the economic collapse. Try to get people to work and produce goods when they get paid regardless of their output. Economic collapse of a purely-communist system is inevitable! there are no conspiracies - just human nature. economically sustainable - that's a false myth!

  • Ask Eastern Germans if they are happy with the kind of life they live now compared to that back in GDR.

  • she didn't know any better
