Russian FSB/GRU were very unprofessional on English soil, that’s why they are trying to hire people with criminal backgrounds for many dirty tasks.

The exchange rate is now directly controlled by the Central bank. Trade with China is very problematic - sometimes it takes several months to complete a single transaction.

There is no such thing as an SSJ-100 with Russian-made engines, period. Airlines cannot buy them, and you cannot fly them. Even the MC-21 is slightly more realistic, but it is also not available to any airline. We have been hearing this nev

Russia can't choose anything by itself. It's the people in Kremlin who will decide, like it was when Stalin died.

> None of the sanctions levied against the USSR were lifted It's a lie. Sanctions actually began to be lifted in 1989 (Jews were finally allowed to emigrate) when we received 80486 processors. In 1990, we got our first SS7 switches

Russia officially built only one SSJ in 2024 – RA-89192. But in fact it was originally built in 2022 and it is probably the last SSJ-100 ever produced.

Russia can't make more SSJ-100. End of story.

4,4 – 4,99 Ghz was allocated, but Rostelecom cannot even launch VoWIFI because of sanctions.

No one is willing to supply 5G equipment to Russia due to the sanctions. The 4G networks are already degrading.

Russia wanted West to approve it's greed to get additional territories. Only Hitler was ready to sign such agreements. So Stalin went to Hitler. He was really mad guy, paranoid, former gangster.

It was about Eltsin's support and parliament reelection. And please stop describing Russians as US puppets. It's your weird ideas only.

Please check our history - we had a referendum before December (in April), when majority voted exactly as Eltsin asked (yes, yes, no, yes - I still remember that song on radio :) And do you think US asked Russians not to come for referendum

Coup in Russian is "Путч" and we had one in 1991 - coup is when you take power from popular people and give it to unpopular people. In 1993 Eltsin was very popular and parliament was not - this is why Russians voted for new Consti

We had referendum in April 1993 when people of Russia voted for new parliament elections and supported Eltsin. Parliament was elected in 1990 in USSR, not in new Russia and was very much disconnected from reality. It wasn't a coup beca

You should study our history better - 1993 and 1996 were very different years, in 1993 communists lost elections to pro-Eltsin party and to LDPR (Zhirinovsky). As a party they got only 12% seats and this had nothing to do with US at all. Ma

So you think that US had to invade Russia to remove Eltsin?! He was elected in 1991 (even before USSR collapsed) and had very strong support in Moscow and major cities. And elections in 1993 (after the dissolution of parliament) were won by

BTW, US embassy staff was trying to negotiate peaceful meeting between opposition and Eltsin's team. But "elected officials" tried to seize TV building with military force instead of discussions. I don't see how US coul

USSR wanted world dominance, not peace with USA. Iran was first target, then Turkey. USSR demanded Libya. Then Korea happened. It wasn't about protection of USSR, it was about exporting communism to other countries.

Prison for your political view was a common thing until about 1986. And a lot of people died there.

USSR never did anything good for Baltics - it created non-efficient factories and sent a lot of Russians to work there, while prosecuted most of the local pre-war elites. In late 80s no one in USSR wanted to choose stuff from Latvia over im

BK wasn't in mass production until 1986, Agat until 1985. In 1986 very few schools had any computers, that's why USSR started to buy MSX computers - there were a lot of problems with local mass production.

There are always a lot of options if you don't have marxists around :) Cuba was just a Soviet Union's project to burn enough money to show that socialism works. But it didn't. And I very unhappy that we were living so poor i

It was difficult to be rentier in USSR because it was officially forbidden to "own" even 2 apartments at the same time.
