the only former Soviet republics that really came out ahead from Soviet dissolution are Estonia and maybe Lithuania.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union was the greatest peace time humanitarian disaster of the late 20th century, and it's just a massive black hole in the historical knowledge of the West intentionally. Like, Georgians were on average better off than Russians by material metrics in the Soviet Union, and after its dissolution it instantly became one of the poorest countries in the world. They weren't a part of the USSR anymore, and were too far away to be part of the Eurozone, so their economy cratered and wages along with it. Teaching went from one of the highest paying professions to one of the lowest paying professions seemingly overnight. That's all just economic devastation before even talking about all the border wars and civil wars.

Even then, the way the market transition was done in Russia, on advice of the West, was so bad it defies belief. You see the chart of life expectancy in Russia after 91 just loving plummeting off a cliff. Plus I remember reading how a lot of the time the post-Soviet transition tended to be foreign investments flooding in the capital cities and barely any elsewhere. They snap up valuable city-centre real estate, foreign companies develop their corporate HQ, a regional one if the country's lucky, that's it, everyone else gets to go gently caress themselves. Also, since they put down some of the lowest corporate tax rates possible in order to 'attract investors' they don't even get anything out of it.

turn off the TV posted:iirc in college i had a class where we read this woman's essay talking about the horrors of life under communism and then immediately transitioned to how insanely terrible basically all of the 90s were and it was very lol There's a great essay Audre Lorde wrote about her visit to the USSR as part of some conference, and when the people in the town she was visiting found out she was a black American and not visiting from Africa, she started getting all kinds of questions, because people were skeptical about the Soviet propaganda about American racism. "Is it true that they make black people pay money just to talk to a doctor?" Lol

Whenever I think I know every evil thing the us government has done I find something new. quote:The tests in Nashville in the late 1940s involved giving 820 poor and pregnant white women a mixture during their first pre-natal visit that included radioactive iron, Martino-Taylor said. The women were chosen without their knowledge. Blood tests were performed to determine how much radioactive iron had been absorbed by the mother, and the babies’ blood was tested at birth. Similar tests were performed in Chicago and San Francisco, Martino-Taylor said. lol literal loving chem trails

Oh, I'm sure they had their own versions of "spray isotopes on random people for shits and giggles" too. Or maybe they just left safety standards in their closed cities lapse and took advantage of the resulting workplace accidents.
