Oh, so queues in modern Russia are 3 hours now? People still can't buy decent food and clothes? They still need to buy grain in US and Canada? I don't think so.

Yep, so the communists which drove USSR to the ground had to get 2nd chance to completely dismantle Russia that time? I'd say that was an interesting possibility.

So when Putin hires US advisors it's normal, but when Yeltsin did it was 'meddling'?

Let's discuss it then, but first I need some sources on 'A lot of people in Russia died due to US election tampering' I know that a lot of people in Russia survived because of humanitarian aid from US though.

Well, their previous 'Sputnik', the Google alternative (sputnik.ru) failed miserably, so they're trying another one. And besides Chinese vaccine was first.

Food production in USSR wasn't mediated by markets, but by the same central planning. That's why they had food shortages and hour-long queues.

Judging that just several years ago Soviets managed to starve another million of their citizens, I'd say Einstein was utterly naive.

Bear in mind that it's a Russian site and they have a huge problem with producing or buying radiation-hardened chips. So it's kinda 'sour grapes' attitude.
