Is there a big definitive book on what went wrong with Russia trying to become a liberal democracy in the 90s?
@ZachWeinersmith As I understand it, when all those satellite states became independent in the 90's the USSR lost half of it's population and a bunch of land resulting in a lesser empire. Russia is pissed this happened and wants it all back.
@desikn @ZachWeinersmith Putin specifically.
@clacke @ZachWeinersmith Well, people in control hate losing it. Russia went back to a more authoritarian structure after glasnost.
