Brazil gets it.

Communism

It would take them half a century before they could keep up with a good living standard, provided that they consistently elect a good leader to not fuck them up over.

brown people, russia should be balkanized so they have an actural ethnostate

Crippling alcoholism and heavy oppression.

its mostly trees and that means theres more oxygen there and oxygen is actually toxic to the brain in that much quantity

Chechens, Armenians, Azeris and even Romani are whiter than Spanish, Portuguese and Italians

T. Armenian who's whiter than you Carlos

First, Jews destroyed the Russian people with Marxism
Then when communism finally collapsed,(((globalist bankers))) distributed ownership of industries to banks and politicians
Jewish oligarch mafioso prevented the rule of law and secure property rights from being established in post-communism

The non-meme answer is that the lack of navigable rivers, coasts, vast territory, and indefensible positions means its very hard to govern and naturally poor despite immense natural resources.

Russia and Eastern Europe in general has more personal freedom than the Western Europe. In the US, you self censor and most people have zero problems with that. In Russia, the control over the population has to be much harder to implement, and the control must be total for them to willingly do shit that doesn't benefit them. In the US and the Western Europe, there has to be a policy and then people will willingly do whatever the fuck the policy is with minimal enforcement. I think that's the biggest difference. Making Russians organize by their own free will is like herding cats. Oddly, I think a better place to enjoy life if you can control yourself and have the money is in Russia. But for the average human, Russia is not very appealing, because you are on your own there, and others will only help you when you are in actual danger, but nobody holds hands, while in the West a lot of people are just lead like sheep, and they are cool with it, because somebody takes care of them. Apparently its a more profitable model for the society.

most of their people live in countryside and they are not civilized. they don't understand law and order, they only understand raw strength. that's why russia and democracy are incompatible. same thing with ukraine and balkans. they're simple peasants, below human.

East Europe has been behind economically for centuries due to their social reactions to the Bubonic plague. As over a third of the population was dead, the labor-value and social power of the individual laborer increased markedly. Feudal society crumbled, being replaced by infantile capitalism. Wealth was generated by skill and not social status. However, Russia doubled down on its reliance on serfdom, skipping mercantilism/ capitalism and going straight to radical socialism. So in 1991, the old Com Bloc countries mostly had no experience or political structure to leap to a capitalist society. Even today, wealth in Russia is begotten by socio-political prerequisites (oligarch ex-KGB shit) and not meritocratic skill.

I don't buy it. We are just as corrupt if not more so. I literally can only think of Jobs as the only billionaire who got there without political machinations and didn't require reliance on old money. He was not beyond fraud either, so he didn't rely on political means to advance the business. Almost everyone else I know had something to do with political class including Google. US is literally as corrupt as Russia if not more so, yet the US is doing well, yet white but corrupt Argentina doesn't and so is Russia.

And the other thing about the Eastern Europe, you have Czechs, who were literally the best country in Europe before WW2 that was utterly destroyed by the Germans first and then later by the Russians, yet they still are sort of like an emerging market. I wouldn't put external forces and simple luck on why Russia in particular is doing poorly. Russia is doing best from the former Soviet Union countries. People who are independent for the most part got rich there. It's just the majority of people are disorganized and codependent on somebody to take care of them, yet nobody is offering those services post Soviet Union. So they have wide gulf between rich and poor, and rich are not as connected as you would like to believe. They do tend to employ connected individuals who fell on the hard times or unable to get a government job because they are literally retarded. But unlike the US, they get crumbs. Just look at Al Gore. That fucker completely inept, yet he seeded Google. It was completely accidental magic.

'Law and order' and 'democracy' are incompatible, you mongoloid. Any definition of 'democracy' you care to cite will imply the careful abrogation of strict legal frameworks for various humanist reasons.

>old Com Bloc countries mostly had no experience or political structure to leap to a capitalist society
False

>gommunism
>UN sanctions *10^15

Because they are fucked and unlucky.

70%+ of their economy is oil

Gommunism and ethnic tensions
