Well.. yeah? That's what happens when you allow organized crime to attack foreign businesses with impunity, encourage your citizens to murder gay and trans people, and destabilize every neighboring country by instigating false flagged 'civil' wars in them.
Of course, there are also important factors like the average worker being dirt poor. Who is buying an iphone on a 300-400USD/mo equivalent salary? It would take years and years of saving to afford one, or a choice to put yourself into hard to repay debt for a status symbol? I would imagine the average person there buys the cheapest phones possible and not the highest end name brand phones every few years like working and middle class westerners do.

- shartacct 5y agoWere you expecting a different answer? Do you think anyone who tells you a hard truth should 'seek professional help'? I guess when you end up utterly defeated in your own country clinging to national fervor only to come and post snark on places like HN and still end up own-goaling yourself it must be hard to cope with, snark is all you have left :'(.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoWhat you perceive to be 'hard truths' are nothing more but your personal delusuons.
- shartacct 5y agoAre you insinuating that Russia didn't cause the death of tens of thousands of civilians in east ukraine or that the anti-gay purges in chechnya didn't happen...? You're a real piece of shit if that's your belief.
