>Any political economic system needs to be run by conscious intentional action. It can start or end only by actions.
I know what you are saying, but I don't believe the collapse was necessarily conscious or intentional. The currency was run into the ground by the gov't and the black market roared as a consequence… this led to the government no longer being able to hold itself together. They tried to bring russia back under communism in the fall of '93. But Black October happened and Russia hasn't looked back.
So maybe the derp state hasn't forgiven Russia for what happened since '93.
