I know nothing about the subject whatsoever. I'm just superficially reminded by all of those "the Russian economy will never improve as long as it remains capitalist" arguments one used to hear a few years ago that turned out to be completely bogus, given that consumption in Russia is now higher than the pre-recession 1989 Soviet level and poverty has halved.
