15 years in power, with the government, parliament, and media fully under control, with oil prices at record highs—and all for what? So that by 2015, not a single Russian company remained among the world’s top 100 largest companies.
What kind of global confrontation can they even talk about? What do they mean, “the world has started to respect us”?
Among the world’s 500 largest companies (!!!), only five are Russian, and all of them—Gazprom, Lukoil, Rosneft, Surgutneftegas, and Norilsk Nickel—do nothing but pull natural resources out of the ground and sell them to the West.
We have no other achievements to speak of.
They wrecked it, looted it, and fucked it all away—that’s the ultimate slogan of the years of “Putin-era stability.”
