- tokai 2y ago>someone saying something good about soviet union Has nothing to do with it. You simply lied. Would have called you out no matter the subject.
- piskov 2y agoLied about what? No one-time packaging and recycling of everything from paper to bottles? Thus being very green/eco by the modern retail standards. Just google “макулатура” and “пункт приема бутылок”
- ch4s3 2y agoDestroying the Aral Sea was hardly "green". The list of environmental disasters caused by the USSR is pretty impressive, in a sad way.
- reisse 2y agoBlaming Aral Sea disaster on USSR was/is mostly a PR stunt of post-Soviet Uzbekistan government. The largest part of the drying happened in 1990s and 2000s, because Uzbekistan was farming cotton and wheat in crazy amounts trying to offset massive imports in its new independent economy.
- ch4s3 2y agoI think it’s hard to claim that things were sustainable and headed in a good direction before 1992, cotton farming notwithstanding.
