Number of ethnic Russian men in Russia under 30 has dropped from ~28 to ~16 million since 1989, headed to 10 million in 2050. Complete demographic collapse of the people who briefly ruled a third of our planet.
Kinda tragic that post-Cold War Russia could have been an economic super power rivaling China and the US but it couldn't let go of it's Cold War nostalgia of a once mighty Soviet Union
Another reason the public is routinely disappointed with our politicians is that our society is economically illiterate. Our politicians promise incoherent and impossible policy agendas for the sake of winning elections, but can't deliver on them because they literally make no sense.
