I have to jump in here!

The "russian empire time just before ww1" was pretty much an example of the well-off and privileged keeping the ordinary people down and repressed.

After the October Revolution, nothing much changed except that it wasn't royalty treading on the people.

Communism was a great idea (everyone had a job etc) but unfortunately, as always, there was an abuse of power. It needs a very strong and moral group of people to make true Communism work.

I thankyou.

I don't think they will reunite, but it would be good if they all signed some kind of pact or treaty and formed an alliance.

Greetings,
I think you should get rid of Boris the Drunk
and his Maffia friends. Once you have done that, you should implement a Free-Enterprise
system with a Eropean touch. Combining Free- Enterprise with a good amount of Social Responsibity is the only way to go. Do not allow your people to become SUBJECTS of the economy, as it is in the USA.

Russia’s short post-Soviet history has shown Russians from above and below to be more flexible and capable of adaptation than traditionally believed. The weakness and lack of consolidation of the Russian State, and its sheer size, which creates a natural basis for plurality of interests in the new economic conditions, provide a chance for civil society gradually to take root and grow stronger in Russia. The Russian middle class, whose premature birth and phenomenal false start created so much disappointment, is a thing of the future, not of the past. The idea of Russia as a centralized military-ideological empire is dying; it is telling that such an idea is being replaced not by a new “Russian idea” (liberal democratic or philosophic and religious) but a diverse reality of development of ever more autonomous Russian regions. This Russia is unlikely to be torn into multicolored shreds; rather, it will acquire, through competition and rivalry, but also cooperation and interaction of the “lands,” an important impetus for self-development and new integration.
