Russia’s a nation of savages and has been for centuries.
“Russia’s a nation of savages and has been for centuries.”
It just that, but a nation of paranoid savages.
I know several people who have been hired by Russian companies to helps them implement new technologies in various industries.
They all say the same thing, “We could help them much more if they were to give us insight to their goals and current technology. They don’t share, they don’t trust, we can’t help.”
I have heard stories of staff on Russian oil rigs protecting 50 year old drilling technology as if they were the nuclear launch codes.
