why are you surprised?
have you ever actually been to Russia?
St Petersburg is really nice, Moscow as well (although I've never been)
but everything else is an ever collapsing shithole
corruption in the west usually means
>things get more expensive because someone pockets a few percent
>but they still exist and are usually done well
corruption in Russia means
>things will never exist outside some peoples imagination
>nothing ever gets done or build properly
in the early 2000s Russia had the chance to actually become more productive and go beyond shithole
but they fumbled it for retarded "russian empire" fantasies and more super yachts for a few oligarchs
