Moscow imperial economy : "food prices to double and triple sometimes...sweets now considered as a sign of middle and upper middle class...Kids are regulary underfed...electricity cut-offs, water and sewage pipes leakage"
sounds like 1917 /1991? one for sure , Moscow imperialism is not winning, Moscow empire /imperialism is losing BIG TIME , the leading geo - strategist Robert D. Kaplan put it all together (31:30 ):
I'm Muscovite, living near Saint Petersburg. Recent economicb trends really scare me. Double digit inflation, scarcity caused food prices to double and triple sometimes. Something as simple as eggs, chicken, quality tea, sweets now considered as a sign of middle and upper middle class. Kids are regulary underfed, and because of this sometimes lose their consciousness in the middle of a school lesson. Regular electricity cut-offs, water and sewage pipes leakage, and overall crumbling of infrastructure is all common thing.
Excellent presentation. There's a fascinating book by Adam Tooze: The Wages of Destruction. It's about the Nazi economy 1933-1945. Many parallels between Putin's regime and Hitler's regime.
