Russia today has a flat tax of about 12 percent, according to an article a few years back by Steve Forbes. That’s way lower than the GOP tax bill in Comgress right now!

And Russia no longer occupied Eastern Europe.
Yet this book says Russia is as bad as when ? it was an atheist communist empire? BS
WilliamIII, the point of the book is that Russia is in “psychosis” mode precisely because it can’t make up its mind about what to condemn or celebrate about its past. For a good while, I lived in a Russian home and slept under a portrait of Stalin next to an icon of Jesus.
Consider the following statement made by historian Irina Pavlova in her article about the modern Russian struggle to settle on a consistent ideology (translated from Russian)
“Today we can already state the fact of schizophrenia of public consciousness in Russia. It paradoxically coexist assessment of the October revolution of 1917 as a disaster and a desire to return to the Soviet past, condemnation of the repression and the veneration of Stalin as a statesman, anti-Westernism and talk about democracy.”
