Russia killed its tech industry

You actually think Russia was a stagnant backwater until they dropped their pursuit of communism and opened themselves up to be mined for prostitution and mail order brides?

Son of the CIA indeed.

90ss Russia I grew up in wasn't pretty, it was indeed dangerous. But still less dangerous than current Russia. It was free, full of hopes, developing.

By 00ss we got to much better life.

Last 10 years, while regime got worse and worse, people started to do interesting and succesfull projects in many areas. It was not just copy west as before, something unique started to happened.

So yes, USSR before it's fall was stagnant, hopeless swamp of misery. And it's gravitating to the same direction now.
