Putin "After the Soviet Union collapsed, we believed we would quickly join the civilized Western world. Today, it seems there is no civilization there—only degradation." There was only degradation and corruption in the west forty years ago as well. What happened was that the Gorbachev-Yeltsin clique carried through a counter revolution so that they could act as imperialisms chosen men in Russia. What the Russian bourgeois leaders found out though was that the mere existence of Russia as anything other than a servile vassal ruled over by a corrupt, depraved drunkard was unacceptable to the US, British, French and German imperialists. That it took the leaders of bourgeois Russia 34 years and millions of deaths to work out this simple truth, that was always obvious to those with eyes to see it, is the real tragedy here.
