  1. Yeah, and the economic policy during last decades is trash as well. It is all just exploiting and exporting resources and making Putin's oligarch friends rich. The only reason why Russia's economy got better after the 90s was oil prices rising significantly until recently. At the same time our economy's dependence on oil and gas exports only grew. Putin's economic policy has been a failure, and we start feeling it better than ever since 2015, when oil prices fell again

  2. So? That doesn't excuse Putin's annexation and fake referendum, the results of which are clearly statistically too unrealistic to be true. I am Russian btw. Putin is a criminal and belongs in prison

  3. The real reason of those countries being rich is colonialism and imperialism, and modern-day neo-colonialism executed by transnational corporations. Same reason why poor countries are poor. It is all exploitation and stealing of resources from others.

  5. Leftovers with largest stores of oil, gas, gold, diamonds, and many other resources? Nice leftovers, I would say. Too bad our corrupt politicians and oligarchs steal everything. That is our actual problem. Corruption,.that is it

  6. This video is full of mistakes. First you show Mongols invading Russia from Southern Siberian steppe, then after a minute you state it is impossible to invade Russia from Siberia? And since then Russian western border is protected? It is a huge plain, literally! 🤦🤦🤦

  7. But it would also ruin all cities built on permafrost, and make main Russian agricultural areas much drier than they are today, and probably Saint Petersburg will be flooded

  8. Or trees. Do you know how many trees are exported and sold to other countries from Siberia every year?

  9. No, it was territory of many different indigenous groups, many of them were NOT under Mongols by 17th century, and many suffered from Mongol invasion in middle ages just like Russia did.

  10.  @mitsuro3815  в Китае полно плодородной земли. Весь восток Китая плодородные долины Янцзы и Хуанхэ. Западную часть, особенно Тибет, Китай аннексировал не так давно
