Russia still has not regained the standard of living that existed during the USSR.
- Jenya_ 10y agoI do not agree, oil wealth moved Russia miles ahead of 80s USSR experience (I see this first-hand).
- IslaDeEncanta 10y agoEconomic data disagrees with your personal experience.
- nec4b 10y agoYou mean the times when they were standing in line for toilet paper and bread or the times when millions of Ukrainians died from hunger.
- IslaDeEncanta 10y agoOh right, and the United States has never had poverty.
- nec4b 10y agoWhere have I said that?
- aikah 10y agoTo be fair Russia was doing pretty well around 2005/2010 , so much that people from Europe were actually moving for work and investing heavily in Russia. The confrontation against US an Europe and oil prices tanking made the situation difficult again. But no one wants to go back to USSR, aside from a few nostalgic politicians.
