Khrushchev happened and the USSR shifted its focus from producing industrial capital to further industrialize towards producing consumer treats
Do you have any good sources for reading more on this part (the transition away from industry)?

what about neocon, does anyone self id as that :|
It’s quite possible they did share, but the Russians thought they had it handled. Afaik there was a mirror situation in 2013 with the Boston bombings, Russian intelligence knew about the terrorists and tipped off the CIA but was largely disregarded.
When writing about Russia they may also be replaced with double Zs
I’m Russian and I was amazed to find out that popcorn is ancient and Americans actually had special machines for making even in the 1910s. We never got that shit even after khrush’s initiative, and we love movies no less than americans. Popcorn became a thing there in the 90s
didn’t know this was a thing, will file away next to the obamacrons

Ryazanov didn’t die for this
Russia had a similar “friendly fire” incident recently too
answer the question please I’m genuinely curious
well Russian politics sucks what can I say. In the late oughts to early teens I think he really had a chance to ~do the funny~ but kinda chickened out. After 2011 he toned the nationalist rhetoric way down, tried to run for local office, failed miserably and the rest is history.
Regardless he was still the most prominent/broadly unifying figure for anti Putin opposition of all stripes. Idk anyone who is more recognizable, maybe nemtsov but he was shot in 2014.
and yeah I’m a mostly former lib, but as I mentioned in another comment, Communism has a really bad reputation inside Russia due to ongoing propaganda efforts from the government (who love blaming every possible internal problem on the Soviet legacy) and the ongoing ineffectiveness and hypocrisy of the CPRF.
he didn’t have one, that’s one of the reasons he ultimately ate shit even in local elections
The fuck have zyuganov and his ilk ever done except run interference for the government for all the Soviet-nostalgic boomers and help suppress any independent leftist organzing? It is no coincidence they were the only ones allowed to participate in elections after the 1993 coup.

being prone fits of rage lasting long enough for you to agree, arrange and fight in a duel seems like a chuddy trait to me

idk if anyone was mad people just like to explain things sometimes. I know I do (it might be the tism)
wait wdym? is this an expression I’m missing from being esl or something. Because otherwise wasps very much do live in jungles
I wouldn’t mind if we had ru or ukr language communities on here either.
