This failure goes back decades.
Russia had a chance, when Putin came in.
It finally had the investment capital and “strong leadership” to turn itself into the sort of country people would want to move TO. A dynamic free-enterprise high tech economy was within reach.
It could even have become attractive as a place anti-woke people, say, could have seen as a refuge. Christian communities, German homeschoolers, Rhodesian and South African farmers, etc. Maybe more of the disaffected from Euro-American culture.
But no.
Dude - they're Russians.
Asking a bit much, aren't you?

Good grief, I almost teared up thinking of that glorious Russian Dream you are selling. If only the US or EU was running Russia now, It could have been that wonderful with no wokies and globohomos. /s
That Russian Dream you speak of is all the things that the US regime and it’s UN/WEF cartel are wiping out in the west.
We are becoming what we proclaim to hate the most. Doesn’t matter if it is Putin or Biden. The same outcome stinks for all.
