The writer is anxious to go to Kolyma era.

The Russian people were fucked up long before the 1990's. They replaced the vile brutality of the monarchy with the vile brutality of totalitarian rule (let's not blame it on soci@lism/communism), followed by the murderous autocracy of Putin in partnership with the oligarchs. Seems to me Russians are more than happy to have somebody in charge who will tell them what to do and how to think. Putin's success is his ability to use the built in political apathy of the Russian people to hold his control. When the people believe that they have nothing to say about those in control...they end up with nothing to say about those in control.

It's what the MAGA/GOP wants, people who believe every fetid chunk that comes spewing out of the festering pieholes of alt-right politicians, and who will do what they want.
