Description: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the West has purposefully ignored the devastation which resulted. The West merely shrugged it's shoulders or pulled faces in 2005 when Putin called it "the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century." A once great country is now nearing terminal collapse. By 2050 Russia may have lost 50% of its population. Male life expectancy has plummeted like no time in recorded human history (now 56). In this chaos opportunism has reached new depths. Oligarchs stole billions of dollars of assets which under Soviet times had belonged to all people. These are like new tzars, embraced by church and state. Violence and the rise of the far-right is turning Russian against Russian on the basis of ethnic origin. Drug abuse, alcoholism, suicide, abject depression flow from a people who once worked together for a better and brighter Communist future. In its place is emptiness. "The rise in mortality is unprecedented in a developed country. Its as though the country is at war" |

twistithardboy ::: Favorites 2007-12-19 02:49:38 BROTHERS AND SISTERS! Europe is dying, We do not breed becuase we are too busy arguing with our own cousins and neighboors(other countries).

sherribailey75 ::: Favorites 2007-12-03 03:36:17 The only way anyone can report on what's really happening in Russia without getting shot or poisoned is to be a foreigner and preferably not an American. The only reason it's a Brit is because he's able to get access. As he makes it clear from the start, he loves Russia. This report comes from a place of concern, not being patronizing. __________________________________________________ | |
BuckTurgidson01 ::: Favorites 2007-11-12 23:53:49 Yes its around 65% of the GDP and it used to be much worst, after the WW2 and during Korea it was 80%+. 65% is pretty average among industrialized nations and very common. You just read that the "debt is bad" in the middle of this Internet America Obsession and repeat that like a parrot. __________________________________________________ | |
oneworldonerace ::: Favorites 2007-11-07 12:05:10 i think you are missing the point, i understand that you find this patronising, and you are right where ever you go in the world there is povety and issue's but i think England like the u.s. and other countries tries harder to fix the problems __________________________________________________ | |
AmersfoortTristan ::: Favorites 2007-10-19 07:13:26 They are Europeans like we are. If only they could loose the most barbaric places in their country: we could help them and let them join out Union. They deserve it like any other European does. __________________________________________________ | |
eyub77 ::: Favorites 2007-10-11 18:15:53 but chromium, this issue has been raised by many people! It has become a international problem __________________________________________________ | |
acvelon ::: Favorites 2007-09-29 17:24:02 The point is awful statistic. The country is dying, literally. The numbers didn't lie. Everything else is a matter of perception. Moscow and St.Petersburg may looks misleading but the country is kind of bigger than two cities. In South Africa the same thing happening repeating Rhodesia's scenario. __________________________________________________ | |
