A slow pitch for talking about history, about Russia, and/or about current events.

I think the default assumption, since the end of the Soviet Union, should be that it's always in trouble.

But that occasionally things go reasonably well or at least apparent economic/political progress acts as a veneer over the systemic corruption ?

Xiacob went native a while ago.  Probably spent all last week looking for little red envelopes at Walgreen's.
