In comparison, when USSR dissolved, Russian economy shrunk by about 40%. Back then, things went to absolute shit in Russia as living standards plunged to the bottom and unemployment became rampant, then rose corruption politicans like Yeltsin and shitty regimes.

    I don't understand the basis for a lot of this, I don't know of anyone banning churches. Declawing cats is something many animal lovers are against but it's hardly a big topic of discussion here. Didn't hear about the toothbrush thing. Unnecessary disposable plastics are good to get away from, just means we use toothbrushes made of whale bone like in the olden days, or some other more modern material.
