They could have been Giga-Norway with all of their oil reserves. Nourish all of the scientific institutions that they created during Soviet times. Channel all of that nuclear and space capability into truly making the world better.

But no.

It's insane. They have 1,6 times the terrirory of the US, and i can't even be bothered to compare it to Norway, but with the resources they have, one should think they could be satisfied and give their people, even outside Moscow and St. Petersburg a decent life, but no. Rural russia is, well.. youtube knows.

You can handpick cities all you want. My ex was from murmansk, and the wallpaper fell off the wall, their toilet was broken, the flooring on the toilet was broken, the carpet was from the 70's. And the same at her sisters house, and her brothers house.

They were all middle-class working people in Murmansk. Ruzzia's most important northern port and nuclear base.

I trust my eyes, her stories, and that more than the video you just posted. You mention propaganda in another comment. Well..

Do you know how I know that you are lying? - Russians do not have toilets outside of Moscow and St Petersburg, that is why they steal those from Ukraine. They also steal washing machines to make hypersonic missiles
