I grew up in Russia in the 90s, and I witnessed the effects of US interference first hand. People literally starved to death in Russia after US gutted it.

Meanwhile, US continues to fuck over countries all over the world and having a good laugh about it on TV https://twitter.com/dcentralized/status/964900521793466374

No, they starved after the Soviet Union destroyed the economy by choosing to engage in a geopolitical competition—in large extent, a military spending competition—with the far more developed West, with predictable effects on the economy (and eventually the regime, but getting rid of that doesn't magically undo the damage.)

Any US election interference afterward is pretty much irrelevant to the outcome you describe, though it's a convenient way for, say, people who had been neck deep in the old regime to point the blame elsewhere (which itself is a good reason not to have done it, but no one ever adequately considers blowback when they do stuff like this.)
