Yeah holy shit I wonder why Russians don't like democracy when it led to the nigh complete destruction of the eastern bloc, the fall of virtually all self sustaining industry, widespread corruption, the rise of the jewish oligarchs, the vassalization of Yeltsin/Gorbachev era Russia to the United States, the collapse of military power, and the exploitation of Russia by western corporate interest. All of these can be traced back to perestroika and Yeltsin/Gorbachev's democratic reforms. The chechen war and the yugoslav wars were also direct results of the fall of the eastern bloc furthermore.
Bonus point: the fact that the USA was allowed to run rampant and do whatever the fuck they wanted after the creation of the currently existing power vacuum, although not created specifically by (as the ussr was already greatly weakened), but *greatly exasperated* by the fall of the USSR and establishment of democracy in Russia
I wonder *why the fuck* russians don't like democracy. It's a mystery to me. Next up: why don't Iraqis and Libyans like democracy? (case study)
This isn't a conspiracy. This is a book series created by (rightfully) pissed off and angry Russians who viewed Putin as the one guy that could actually change things for a nation that was utterly destitute in the 90s.
