Meanwhile Canada had a secure and peaceful past and was engaging in the world market & free trade which gave them the opportunity to build stong and stabile economy.
Also Putin was building a quick growing but very fragile economy, it worked out fine for the first 15 years until everything went down the shitter. Russia's GDP halved within two years

Russia's domestic market is pretty big, and most products are targeted at the Russian-speaking world. For instance, VK is the 5th most popular website in the world, but barely any Westerner knows about it.

Facebook is not banned in Russia. How can people be so brainwashed

>>76913098
Another reason as to why Russia barely exports anything other than oil and natural gas is the fact that the whole economy was state-owned up until 1991, which means there was no competition inside the country and organisations weren't even allowed to exist. Russia entered the global market merely 26 years ago, of course it takes more time that to catch up with the rest of the world.

I know those are a lot of 'excuses', but in the end it comes down to that. Communism and military conflicts (=political & economic instability) are the main reasons. Every time Russia started to recover from one catastrophy, the next one broke out. See >>76911859

Canada has never been under threat of invasion or had any meaningful instability at any point in the last hundred years.

Meanwhile Russia was devastated in World War I, devastated in the Russian Civil War, devastated in World War II, and devastated throughout the entire lifetime of the Soviet Union by purges, famines, and devastated again when CCCP collapsed and the west predated Russian resources.

It's not a fair comparison.

I think VK is more convenient than Facebook, and it has nothing to do with patriotism. First off all I think the layout is simplier and easier to navigate.

That's a bad thing. It means individuals are less likely to be prosperous, and those who don't deserve wealth are being subsidized to have more.

It isn't a good think, it actually devastates growth in the long term because the rich perpetuate their own wealth by rigging the game instead of being innovative. Path of least resistance. It's a lot easier to buy a congressman and slash the tax rate so you make $1 billion, instead of innovating $1 billion worth of new shit. Especially since rigging works for years
