I can recommend his whole channel. The scenery shots from the train-waggons of those far and vast regions of east russia are stunningly beautiful. Sometimes it looks like Canada or America in the 1850s. Imagine the potential this country had. They could have build Holiday Resorts and offer Adventure Tours for tourists. They could have build ski-resorts and curvy roads that people would love to take their camper van to. They could basically be Canada2 with those beauty, resources and distanced remoteness. But they did not become Canada2, they chose to become North Korea 2. What a missed opportunity for a country. They have everything, but they let it all go away for hate. Imagine what a democratic leader in 2000 could have done to this country. Instead what they got was 14 years of authoritarian rule that then attacked the ukraine in 2014. And again in 2022. What a loser of a leader. He could have turned that country around and just decided to not do it. I would be loathing as a citizen about a leader like that, that pissed away the future of my country like that.
Just the way rus*ia is built, it’s impossible for it to not be authoritarian. As a state it’s a federation which has a bunch of different ethnic groups forcefully bound to it by violence, and the moment that grip lets even a little loose it all falls apart, as we saw with chechnya. It’s a miracle it didn’t happen on the heartland with the collapse of the soviet union. Now I’m no geographic determinist but some countries just can’t be democratic as it is existentially threatening to them. It’s sad but not much you can do. Whoever’s gonna inherit the throne after smallballs dies is going to be either just, as if not more of a loser.
