    How about loosing 27 million people 80 years ago fighting the Nazis? If that didn’t happen we could be counting the offspring of another 10-15 millions of Russians. Then the famine, loosing their country, and building a new state. The 1990s, early 2000s must have been the complete opposite in Russia than in the USA. Also, in the 1980s the USSR was already collapsing.
