The Degeneration of a Rock After 1991

After 19 91, the whole place was bombed out. Everyone was functioning on the brink of famine. The bath party communist hators saved their population from this. There arose a class of new billionaires who profited from the ancience regime because they smuggled stuff into the country at high prices and got some lavish government contracts for reconstruction. Then, of course, the reduced oil production kept three million barrels a day of oil production off the market, which, you know, introduced a floor to world prices. And the only real solution was to lift the fucking sanctions and pump in the money.
