    That is genuinely bleak.

    If you put on a blindfold and picked a random point on the Russian timeline, from its founding to today, this statement would be equally applicable.

        Good point. There’s strong evidence for that in recorded testimonials from cities across the USSR before its demise. When residents were asked about their living arrangements, work conditions and general satisfaction with life, they all had the same thing to say: “Can’t complain”.
