And yet populations are collapsing in every former communist state.
I don't know what you call it when a country loses 10% of it's population, like Ukraine did, but decimation is the dictionary definition.
- iknowstuff 4y agoUh you might want to re-read that definition.
- d0mine 4y ago"the killing of one in every ten of a group of people as a punishment for the whole group (originally with reference to a mutinous Roman legion)." 10% is "one in every ten"
- unmole 4y agodecimation /dɛsɪˈmeɪʃ(ə)n/ (noun) the killing of one in every ten of a group of people as a punishment for the whole group (originally with reference to a mutinous Roman legion).
