Why are Russians so poor?

Russia is a vast land with more natural resources than any other country.

Why are Russians so poor? When I see that tiny countries without all the opportunities Russia has have more prosperity than Russia, it really is amazing.

It's like a 7 foot tall person getting schooled by a 4foot tall person in basketball

SWEJ

The country is a kleptocracy. Russian culture values strongmen so they prefer a tsar to rule them. It was only a couple generations ago that most of them were serfs.

Putin hacked them. How do you think Drumf got to be so rich?

...

Literally Communism.

This desu senpai, you can see it in the mentality of those people, most of them can just follow.

So you're saying the Jews did it?

Because their shitty leaders went into Afghanistan and got fucked up by a bunch of mountain guerrillas.

Sort of like Trump is doing.

It's always either school lunch or basketball analogies with sharts. Because school cafeteria and basletball net are the only cultural cornerstones in a country of obese imbeciles and feral niggers.

Zbigniew Brzezinski strikes twice!

Communism has been over for almost 30 years. Quit making excuses Vlad.

Why was Afghanistan so important in the prosperity of Russia?

Russia had ambitions of being a global empire. Afghanistan just looked like an easy target for a quick takeover to expand their reach. 10 years and thousands of dead Russians later... they finally admitted defeat and went back home just in time to witness the collapse of the Soviet Union.

If u niggers actually want to know it's the lack of credit. Russian don't have the same ((( credit and finance))) system as the west. Most things are bought in cash not with monthly payments.

Sounds like somebody needs a Rothschild Central Bank. Jews are good with money, you know.

no joke im actually black. i feel like you motherfuckers got a cam on me lol

every fucking time

>Russia
Geography, they are in the middle of the fucking tundra in what is left of rump russia, and their population isn't 1 billion so it could attract fdi to the point that it can cover up its flaws.

but didn't the russians have tons of jews in their country for most of their history?

Relax comrade. The lack of creativity in their analogies doesn't change the truth they speak

Pretty much, but my understanding is that they were just an ongoing problem like in most places in the world until the Bolshevik Revolution where they tried to implement True Communism and take over.

actually the habitable land alone is very vast even though it makes up just 25% of the country. also, a lot of the land might not be habitable but it's still full of natural resources which is more important.

not sure why the population matters.

Now, let's be honest. Communism was ruthless but it did quickly industrialize a largely backward country. You can see short bursts of productivity in other Communist countries. But it never lasts.

Over time it really just sucked the place dry as usual, and this was not helped by the fact that the masses of Russians still were basically backward peasants. You might as well ask why Ukraine never prospered despite its natural resources and potential.

Actually, 7 foot tall people get schooled by manlets a lot in basketball, you fat, stupid negro. Source: my brother was a manlet who played basketball in a team. Pic somewhat related to your knowledge judging by your flag.

they probably need some economic reforms. and us placing sanctions on them doesn't help

The booming countries are all goods based, higher end electronics of Japan to lower goods from china. You need a very large population to attract manufacturer to produce these products in your cheap wage country. The smaller the population the higher the wages. Raw resource that are produced on masse have a smaller margin than goods unless we are looking at hydrocarbons.

oy vey we really need that green economy we've been selling the goyim on!

The world will literally end if they aren't good goyim. oy vey!

Yeah, the jews did it. He's right too.
The Russian farmers owned more land before the revolution then after. Then jews started killing hard working people, called kulaks from the rural country or.
Then the Jews stole Russia's resources after the fall, 1989-1990's were chaotic to say the least. The Russian mafia controls a whole lot and the name is just a ruse, because it's actually the jewish mafia.
The whole thing is a sad case. The people lost their own soul, their own traditions and have been conditioned to be mediocre for decades. If you see how much better the economy has become during Putin's time, it's a miracle, even though the Jews are still there as parasites on that great nation.

which is worse turnoff, tattoos or nignog?

you have no idea of what you're speaking.
They spoke in the 80's the fucking 1980's that they're competing in production now with pre revolution times in regards to food.

Since we only care and ever should care about ethnic Russians, here we go.

You forgot corruption, subsidies to subhumans within the Federation, neocommunist opportunistic modern government that keeps all their money abroad.

Stalinist purges, GULAGS, WWII loses, Civil War loses, Red Terror, systematic oppression of ethnic Russian national elite.

Nicolas II attempts to build a civic cuck society, two stupid wars started by him (who cares about Serbia lol?) that killed millions of good men.

I'm talking about the early phases near the beginning of the 1900s where, for better or worse, it brought the state of industrialization up to be competitive with the West.

Over the long run of course it's been a disaster.

so are russians white or not? Every other country that got BTFO hard in WW2 recovered and became a superpower, even Japan and China. Why not Russia?

to be fair, communism ended in 1991, and they've had an incredible economic recovery since then.
Even with a broken spirit, and no memory of their own real traditions.
It really didn't. Russia was a contributor to science before the revolution and were already in the process of industrializing herself.
Hell, people of Europe went to Russian universities back in the day because the education was good.

They "recovered" at cost of their ethnic replacement and/or degeneration of culture. Imperial Japan had more dignity and fitness to it than modern clusterfuck of socially inept block-dwelling insects. Germany is barely even a country anymore - turks, kurds, Meds, mixed European ethnicities and arabs everywhere.

And rawshans&djamshuts are honorary slavs

...

Even if they were, which they aren't. Slavs and Germans have no reason to have one state. It'll just divide itself into two. Germany has no people anymore to call her own. If she do, it's not the Germans, it's the Jews, the people who live like parasites everywhere. As the government is doing it's best to replace the german people, hell even their politicians are saying that's their main goal.

you can make fun of germany all you want. they're still a much more propserous country than you with much higher median wages and superior healthcare/education

germany has less muslims than Russia, did you know that?

what is an ethnic Russian though?

only 83% of russia is white and of that 83% it seems very split between the Slavs with haplogroup R1a and the Finno-Uralic ppl with haplogroup N1c

Muslims are not an ethnicity or race, did you know that? 1 naturalized Arab or a million is only different when it comes to removal. In reality of nature of state, there is no difference. If you have no racial laws - may as well nuke yourself
That's where you inferior negroid/mongrel nature comes out. Median wage means nothing when your collective bloodline and culture are under constant attack. Moreover, for a smart European man it means even less, since a decent man of smarts is not bound to 7/11 shift and "averages" you absolute suburban retard.
Who said any of countries mentioned are doing good?
>ethnic Russian though?
Not you

lol. also checked.

>Why are Russians so poor?

But user, some of the most expensive properties in the US are owned by Russians.
Russians (along with the Chinese and Saudis) are literally buying out our country from under us. There are entire forests and mountains in the US owned by foreigners.

Also, Moscow has more millionaires and billionaires per capita than any other city in the world.

i don't doubt that but everyone else is piss poor.

you have tons of russian women flocking to porn to get their asses fucked by two or three cocks because it makes more money than any other job they could get.

Is that a joke m8? One will still give you decent offspring, the other a half-breed monkey. Tattoos>>>nogs (though it goes without saying, you shouldn't be fucking with either).

no more poorer than the majority of americans.

>you have tons of russian women flocking to porn to get their asses fucked by two or three cocks because it makes more money than any other job they could get.

im sorry, how is this different from america? I guess youve never been to the west coast.

Good to see how Nordic Faustian spirit alive within the true Russians eloquently channeled these words of wisdom agains subhuman negrified American degenerates

Who are these thiccies?

You ask why Russia is so poor? Let me explain it to you.

Russia looks like a big and exuberant christmas GULAG decorated not with tinsels but with worms, rotten bodies and colorful mildew, the Paradise for the gangrenous and tubercular Kremlin Elder and the Hell for every free individual who adheres to the Western Values. As a prostitute in the leprosarium, barely suppressing vomit, our democratic opposition is forced to play these cruel games, submerge into the bubbling pus of abscesses of dictators, suck from bedsores of General Secretaries and ulcers of the Tsars, rub their bodies off the lichen of the Orthodox church.

Russia looks as the last train to the abyss driven by the fake misborn midget Putin. It sounds as an old jamming gramophone playing a disc of old Soviet newsreels. It smells just as Europe’s privy, it feels as a miscarriage of the Western Values, as a totalitarian pigsty and a communist hencoop. A tiny bloody midget, hands covered in shit up to elbows, standing on his knees pissing into his own soup, shitting into his own pasta.

You know what, Sup Forums, it stinks. There is a strong, disgusting and ugly odor of totalitarian exercises, feces of tortured people and valenki, and yes, it stinks and stinks and stinks and stinks. It stinks of totalitarianism, my dear friends.

Putin’s zoo keeps vibrating with miasmas. Joyful Europe with her blue skies, transparent water, attractive just as the Land of Oz is perplexedly observing the impotent scrabble and fiddling of stupid Putin’s vassals. And while the final sunset paints Europe in all colors of the rainbow, satanic Night reigns over Russia. And in the middle of it, the merry midget keeps dancing surrounded by a swarm of flies. THE FLIES ARE US.

...

It's not that hard to make amerimutts look retarded desu, most of the time they do it by themselves.
fortune.com/2015/03/10/american-millennials-are-among-the-worlds-least-skilled/

hey cnn showed up.

I feel sorry for you Russians. Your country is the perfect example of Stockholm syndrome. Raped by communist for 8 decades and now you want Stalin back because he raped you the hardest.

"how come all these people we force to take on massive debt to be trained in anything are so unskilled"

haha, oh forbes

much higher percentage of russian women go into porn.

it's not just that though, they do the filthiest shit imaginable b/c there's tons of other russian women willing to do even more.

the average russian porn will take two cocks in her asshole at the same time while most american pornstars don't do anal at all

american pornstars are classy

Do you even know what the true Western Values are? Because those are best embodied in the British Emlire and the Third Reich. I swear, you so called Western egalitarianists and sovietiests are the same type of dysgenically minded evolutionary deadend subhumans

Jesus fucking Christ you CivNat cuck, those metrics don't mean shit unless its for the betterment of your people. A rich populace that has kids under replacement and actively subsidizes importing foreign peoples and their 5 kids, is a sick fucking society, not better off. If rather be a poor man with a homogenous culture and people, than a rich, rootless, cosmopolitan.

prove it.

t. somali swede soviet rape faggot

better to be an amerimutt than an ugly inbred finn lol

>be Chinks
>still CCP
>biggest economy in a decade
I think it's the wodka Ivan. Stop giving chinks your tech.

Right on what? This nigger just said that Russia collapsed after WW2, and that Japan is a superpower. He questions why Germany that had Marshall plan boost was more prosperous than post-war Soviet Union. Why US, whose currency has been dominating global trade since 1970s has higher GDP than post-communist nation living under international sanctions. I mean, sure US public education had seen better days, but talking to american is like having a conversation with amoeba. Americans are subhumans, the reason you watch into their mouths is because you've been nurtured to think that iphone is a pinnacle of progress, and wealth is measured in accumulated national debt

Coup d`etate inspired by american neocons in 1991

> putin is based!


kill yourself newfaggot retard

uh...go to freeones

do advanced search and compare russian pornstars to american pornstars.

go through as many porn whores as you want until you're convinced

Maybe thirty of forty million should be left alive in the US after the cleansing. All that which America did not get from Europe may seem worthy of respect to jewified mixed race, but Europe regards that merely as symptomatic decay in cultural and artistic life, the product of Jewish and negro blood mixture.
Finland is less inbred than Southern Italy and Sicily many of your "Whites" hail from

There is difference though...
Russia built an Empire by conquering Muslim lands
Germany is actively inviting immigrants to historically German lands
Thus these populations are not directly comparable. If anything, you should compare German Muslims to Central Asian immigrant workers in Moscow, and memes aside there are relatively few of them.

>Joyful Europe with her blue skies, transparent water, attractive just as the Land of Oz
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a real paradise here in future.
Pic related, we're being conquered by arab savages at an alarming speed & they're even allowed to take our children as sex slaves & no one can say no to them at the risk of being labeled racist. But anyways, if you're a Hipster Ivan from Moscow & like watching your women raped by brown thrash while having your hands tied behind your back you're free to move here & start embracing the future "western values". Just now we finns experienced our first terror attack from a rapefugee who got denied asylum & media has gone as far as characterize the assailant as a generally "good person with good manners & smart behavior doesn't seem like a killer in the end". Fucking believe me, our mass media actually interviewed the guy & described him like that. Also our leftist politicians are demanding all illegal rapefugee residents who get denied from asylum receive a temporary living permit which will in 2 years of residence turn into permanent one. In short, if a rapefugee, an illegal one especially doesn't want to leave this place then we can't eevn force him out technically. Also, the city of Helsinki just declared that it'll offer public health services paid by finnish taxpayers for free for any illegal immigrant also.

so you didnt look it up anywhere credible and you have nothing.

hahahaha just shut the fuck up mong

>15-20 million central asians in Russia
>relatively few
Don't forget, you are as endangered as Germany and Russia are. Don't reckon you banning nonwhites from ever entering as a matter of Estonian legal system

>Finland is less inbred than Southern Italy and Sicily many of your "Whites" hail from

most italian-americans are mixed with other ancestries and they're only 20 million from out population of over 320 million you kangaroo-fucking retard

doesnt take in to account the hundreds of amateur tube sites. majority of russians seems to be in solo webcams, which is an easy scam job, make people pay tokens to watch them lay on a bed.

why is it not credible? freeones is database that contains all pornstars from every nationality you fucking retard

>if you're a Hipster Ivan from Moscow & like watching your women raped by brown thrash while having your hands tied behind your back you're free to move here & start embracing the future "western values".
As you mention it, let me tell you a historical anecdote. It really happened in June 1918 in Moscow. When Lenin was brought to a circus, he ordered all clowns and female acrobats to undress and then ordered the clowns to rape the acrobats and choke them with orange wigs. And he was standing nearby with his pants and underpants down and was massaging his crotch (with his left hand) and screaming “In the ass! Fuck her in the ass!” And all who did not laugh were later tortured in the cellars of NKVD. And all who did laugh happened to be ethnic Russians.

Such a foul nation we are, we look at an anal rape, we touch themselves between the legs and think democracy has come.

>15-20 million central asians in Russia

100 gorillions

blyat, do you realize, that there are only Uzbekistan has >10M population

Бля oхyитeльнaя иcтopия и вeдь ктo-тo пoвepит

>hey look, i'm projecting
Kek @ mutt.
Shouldn't you be jumping on white people on the streets, José Tyrone Shaqueela?
Is that why you brown subhumans were announced the least skillful in that study & we were at the top?
Also, it's hilarious how many (you)s I got from amerimutts by posting a statistical fact about their inferiority.
Nah, better nuke it from the orbit, my good straya. It's the only way to be sure. :^)

just click the blue arrow and do image search

A big reason Russia has been poor for so long is because British and later US naval power were able to very effectively cut them off from trade at any given time. This is how sanctions were so easily enforced for so long. The German and Franch empires were smothered in the same way. However, the maritime countries are losing their edge and a de facto monopoly on blue-water naval power is no longer sufficient to control global trade. Russia and China are finally realizing they don't need to build navies to take on the US, they simply need to develop Central Asia and trade as much as possible over land.

Subhumans breed fast. That number includes their spawns and doesn't include those who are already citizens. In fact, the number can be up to 30 million of central asians given that a good portion of them didn't check in anything on census. Or didn't take part in census altogether
nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/russia-the-worlds-second-largest-immigration-haven-11053

>the number can be up to 30 million

it is about every fifth is russia, just tell me, for how long you don`t visit your pscyhologist?

yea you got me. you finns sure are ubermensch LOL

->

I said memes aside. The true number is probably around 5 million.
Also they are mostly guest workers. Many of them went back during 2008 and 2014 recessions.

yep and it is pretty much too late to change that mentality. russians truly are euroniggers

Actually, the finn in your pic would probably be called "aryan ubermensch" by "white" nationalists in your shithole considering what amerimutts count as being white, pic related. Top kek, your country is literally Argentina 2.0.

Since you have some issues with reality, I have to alert you that there is a strong scientific evidence to suggest that the Earth is not flat.

>The Chinese are invading Russia — not with tanks, but with suitcases.

>Alexander Shaikin, in charge of controlling the Russian-Chinese border, said on June 29 that 1.5 million people from China have illegally entered the Russian Far East over the past 18 months.

>It’s impossible(!!!) to know the exact level of Chinese migration into the Russian Far East; Russia has not run a census in over a decade. But by all indications, a significant river of people is surging across the border.

>The Moscow Carnegie Center, the only organization to launch an independent study, claimed that there were about 250,000 Chinese in Russia in 1997. The Interior Ministry has claimed that there are 2 million. Other estimates place the Chinese population at 5 million.

>Regardless, the Federal Migration Service fears a flood. The service has repeatedly warned that the Chinese could become the DOMINANT ETHNIC group in the Russian Far East in 20 to 30 years. Such an occurrence would require an annual influx of about 250,000 to 300,000 Chinese, LESS than one-third the rate that Shaikin currently claims

1 naturalized non-native or 15 million is only different in logistics of deportation. Not in a nature of state. Racial laws in Estonia when? Get to work

odd that finnish women who come to america love big black cock and mexican dick

finnish men have small dicks

Pre Russian involvement, Afghanistan was a literal bread basket
>see ukraine
They were the number one producers of fruits and nuts. They exported all over Europe and had a diverse economy.

but doesn't russia itself have tons of wheat fields?

>muh dik
I knew it, you were a nigger. Enjoy being gassed in the future. :^)

Well yeah tons, but don`t forget, that we are about 150 millions of people

>Russia

Russia != Russia. Russia is biggest coutnry in the world, with most of its regions being sparsely populated and developed and wealth concentrated in few regions.

If you take Moscow, SpB,Kazan - they are richer than many EU areas and Moscow is one of the richest city world wide. If you take some region deep in syberia where nothing happens - its poor as fuck and drives statistics down.

Same for Russian "crime statistics", where overall impression of it is like if Russia is full of murder like Mexico, while in reality its few same regions in north where drunk people stab each others having nothing better to do at winter.

If you take Moscow region itself, it`ll be richer than many countries. US, Canada and China have similar situation as well where regions are not equally developed and some are poor as fuck and wealth is concentrated.

And as far Economy as whole goes, lack of huge exports driving GDP up via currency income does not mean the economy is small or ineffective - Russia is pretty much self sufficient in a lot of aspects, so its dumb to think country that can build/do pretty much anything is comparable to "rich" (lel) small country with service and financial sector wealth only.

There are lots of reasons.
1. Orthodox Christianity. Kievan Rus' and free cities like Novgorod were quite advanced until Vladimir chose to baptize Russia into Orthodox Christianity. Basically, he put his bet on Byzantine that was hot shit at the time. This paced huge fracture between Russia and Western Europe in politics and culture. Only Peter I 600 years later managed to close it a little. Also, Byzantine fell shorty after, leaving Russia in relative cultural isolation.
2. Tatar-Mongol invasion. Invaders burned a lot of cities, kept Russia fractured and put a huge tax strain on Russia for 300 years. For this period, while Western Europe began to develop in ever increasing pace, Russia was in stasis. Also, Tatar-Mongols influenced Russian politics and culture, shaping it in Asian image which is lot more collectivist than European.
3. Serfdom. Basically slavery that was abolished only in 1860s. 50 or more years after it was done in the West.
4. Slow and unsuccessful reforms in XIX century, constant wars, famines etc.
5. And finally XX century was a series of global events: Revolutions, Purges, Civil War, WWI, WWII, Cold War, fall of USSR.
This all shaped people minds, forcing them to seek short-term solutions and harming future.

Now add up logistical nightmare that is Russia, relatively harsh climate, and lots of different ethnicities and tribes that are not so pleased with their neighbors.

And it all comes to modern Russian, who is quite poor by Western standards.
But, there are some things that Westerners do not know about Russia: lots of families own summer houses, which is luxury in Europe.
Our healthcare and higher education while not best are relatively cheap or free. And most important: absurdity and strictness of our laws are compensated by them being not enforced.

>Why was Afghanistan so important in the prosperity of Russia?
CIA used Afghani to smuggle loads of heroin into USSR.
