@dominuslogik484 you know nothing about rural Russia, just Western propaganda myphs. We have water and gas supply in villages, and we have toilets, they are cheap. If people don't have a toilet in the house, so it was their decision to not make it, but they have infrastructure under their house, or simply their house was built a long time ago, probably 80 years ago, but at now there are very small percentage of such houses even in Russia. People in Russian villages don't live in "1800s" as you said, we have cars, internet, communications and everything you have. Only distant villages in deep Siberia with VERY LOW population density for dozens of kilometres from any cities don't have gas supply, because it is economically impossible to provide them, we have prioritisation to provide gas supply in more populated regions with higher density of population firstly, this is called an effective prioritization

@dominuslogik484 in Russia only few percent of houses use wood for heating, ~70% of houses have gas supply, and I never said that Russia is rich country or something like this, of course USA are richer than Russia and always were. USA are richest empire on the Planet, this is silly to compare Russia with USA, compare Russia with all other countries of the World and you would see that Russia for last century is keeping global average level or even little bit higher than global average, Russia have faced many historical challenges and troubles in last 120 years, while USA have good geography, isolated from all other World and protected from other empires by Pacific and Atlantic ocean. Russia suffered huge losses in two World wars, civil war, and Russia always needed huge militarization, while USA due to the good geography enjoyed small army spending and isolation with huge economic development in 19th century, and also USA have gained huge profit from two World wars, because in these wars literally all of World empires fell - British and French Empires lost all their colonies and economy, Germany, Austria, Ottomans, Japanese, Russia was dewastated two times. USA became so rich and whealthy stipidly because of good isolated geography and protection by two oceans, while South America was an American sphere of influence, CIA and American army were constantly conducting military coups and invasions in South American countries and Carribean in 19th century, to protect American corporations and monopolies in this countries, still influenced by US. After the collapse of all empires in two World wars and decline of their economy, USA simply stopped their isolation and opened to World, occupying the markets all across the Globe and making destroyed by the war Europe and Japan dependent on American banking system and dollar by Marshall plan. So, this is why you are rich, and we are poor, we have lost 30 million lives mostly of young generation in two wars in 30 years, half of our country was dewastated 2 times. You were living under protection of two oceans in safety, while Germany and Japan were unable to come to your territory because of huge distances and because Japan was fighting against China and Germany was fighting against us and Britain, but Britain just like you was also protected by sea and Germany needed a superior navy to invade Britain, which they didn't had, so all damage from German war machine came to us.

He is spreading an anti-Russian propagandistic myph that Russians don't have toilets and so territories that were occupied by Russians in the past at now are backward, and this is not true, because Poland and Eastern Europe was poor and backward compared to Western Europe ALWAYS for centuries, even before the Russians, and after 1945, under Soviet sphere of influence the proportions of whealth just didn't changed. East Germany was a little bit more poor than West Germany always, even in 19th century, and at now East is little bit more poor. But socialist East Germany demonstrated better economic growth than West Germany - East German economy was growing faster than West German economy for all period from 1945 to 1991, but because East German economy was originally, from 19th century more poor than West, in 1945 East Germany started the race with lower start conditions, not considering tha fact that West Germany had 2 times more population and all industrial centers that were built from 19th century. The only minuses of socialist economy is that there are no competition and governmental monopoly, so quality of goods is bad, but actually socialist planning economy never had problems with growth and East Germany, alongside with Czhehia were actually rich countries under socialism, while Poland and Russia were poor countries even under capitalism before they became socialist and after fall of socialism. Poland is becoming more and more whealthier, but this is only because of technological progress worldwide. Russia at now also more rich than 40 years ago, like USA at now more rich than 40 years ago and all other countries. But proportions of this whealth to other World didn't changed in Eastern Europe no matter under which system they were
