Moscows streets are gridlocked with Mercs, BMWs & Range Rovers now
It seems the CIA have been cautious about western involvement in eastern europe for a long time - probably mostly NATO concerns not the EU,
If Russia joined that I'd expect they would worry, Not that it could. The CIA's worries have made no difference.Gorbachev though. Aimed to change the soviet and hard liners not happy. That is a major factor in the break up. Cost of maintaining may have figured as well. Sort of western integration. I'd say that is more associated with Bush's I've looked into this man's eye's - Putin's. He firmly reckons communism is a dead end. The guy before him may have had similar ideas. As to Putin go read his wiki page. The good for Russia aspects might still be there. He has no need to rig elections - so far. They appear to have a Boris like problem - who to replace him with. The britannica has a decent run down on the break up The pure political aspects anyway. I have also heard that money figured to some extent. Commodity prices world wide but have never tried to check that - oil was mentioned.
Exactly. A Russian bloke I knew went to the dealer to buy a new car, chose the model, paid for it, and the salesman said ok I've got you down for delivery on such and such a date five years from today.
Bloke said 'morning or afternoon?'
Salesman said 'does it matter?'
Bloke said 'well yes, the plumbers coming in the morning'.

What's the waiting list for surgery in the UK?
How many people die unnecessarily of cancer due to lack of treatment
or is the success of a nation dictated by how long it take to get a new car from a dealer?
ps how long is it in the UK?

Russian who changed the world
Dmitry Mendeleev was only 35 years old when he made his discovery
The element oganesson is named after Yuri Oganesyan who assisted in the discovery of several superheavy elements, now added to the table.
Doctor Nikolay Pirogov is the founder of field surgery and the first to use ether in the Crimea and the first to use orthopaedic casts from plaster
Then of course there is Ivan Pavlov
Knorozov was a linguist and ethnographer who managed to decipher the script of the Maya civilization….when he was just 30 yrs old
Nikolay Basov and Alexander Prokhorov invented the laser and their research was used by Townes to build the first maser. (Basov, Prokhorov and Towes shared the Nobel prize)
Yuri Denisyuk created holography
And of course there is the father of space, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
Andrey Sakharov and Igor Tamm Nobel Prize for the development of the tokamak concept used in thermonuclear fusion. Sakharov’s team developed and tested the first hydrogen bomb.

Not by September. There's a lot off life to be sucked out of Russia by Vlad the Invader before that is even close.
A UK military pun dit reckons it will still going on on 2025. Might be why there is no rush for USA to deliver tanks.

Yes, Damned Ruskies.
"The election was not held everywhere in Ukraine. During the 2014 Crimean crisis, Ukraine lost control over Crimea, which was unilaterally annexed by Russia in March 2014. As a result, elections were not held in Crimea. Of the 2,430 planned ballot stations (in Donbas), only 426 remained open for polling. The self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic, controlling large parts of Donbas, had vowed to do everything possible to disrupt the elections on their territory."
