i'm sure this played a role in the fall of the cccp, as did reagan's star wars, and grain prices, the fallout from afghanistan, and a hundred other factors working together and reaching some form of resonance (see the reader comments below the article). the point is that these earth-shaking events are not the result of the master strokes of geniuses, or the stumblings of idiots, but the combined effect of many interacting events.

it might be worthwhile to keep in mind that what happened to russia could just as easily happen to the usa, and that russia also seems to be making a recovery as world conditions change yet again. those who ignore the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them, but those who think those lessons are obvious are due to be disappointed.
