@JimmuTennothefirst "For a country the population of France and Germany combined" Well, you seem to be holding Russia to a strange standard. Nigeria and Brazil each have even more people than Russia- India has 10x more- can you name any world-famous firms from these countries? You act as though Russia is just a deviant from the norm, when it is not. You fully ignored what I said- France and (west)Germany have had 70 extra years without Soviet policies, and arguably even longer since the Tsar never encouraged domestic goods production. Russia has only 30 years to develop, and this is with decade of Eltsin years, and the competition of established firms with large, advanced factories to out-compete Russian. And I am aware of what you are saying, do you think I am naive? Putin is kgb, economy is not something he cares about. I do not like his plans for the oil revenue from 2000-08. Even though quality of life increased, Russia is still dependent on natural gas. But, I am also not stupid enough to to think that violently removing a leader will magically bring prosperity and 'democracy', like the usa likes to say. The man from Iraq who put Iraq flag on statue of Sadam now regrets his action. Stability comes before democracy. Not after. And Americans cannot seem to understand, so they invade with the logic of children. Give Russia time. It has only been 30 years. It took China 50 before any real brands (Huawei, Alibaba, DJI, Lenovo) enter Americans awareness

@EMillerphotography Telegram, Kaspersky Labs, Cut The Rope (remember that game?), Stolichnaya vodka (Amreicans call it Stoli), Faberge eggs, and recently, Gazprom. For less than 30 years to build a functioning market system and brand recognition, that is not bad. Certainly better than just 1.

@zasmirko100 This just seems unprincipled. You spent so long under occupation and ethnic assimilation into the Russian Empire, and the second you have freedom, what do you do? You do it right back to ethnic Russians. Much like Jews in Israel, you've stooped to the level of those whom you hated. It's very sad--- like barring people from voting to save democracy. How far are you going to take it? Halting democracy for democracy, enforce assimilation for security, these sound very familiar to me, and should to you, too..

@JimmuTennothefirst ...Skype? The company that lost almost all of its marketshare to Zoom? If that's the best thing that came out the Baltics, you really are finished.
