Traditional values don’t make countries competitive in science when the traditional value is the Tsar, anon. It only works when the traditional value is freedom of expression and/or other sets of liberal values.

Russia is in better shape now than when before the war began. Germany on the other hand might be what you're really talking about.
Anyways, not /sci/.

They have a few rare exceptional scientists, just as you would expect in a country with 180M people. The average gopnik is extremely low IQ though.

Only in the sense that its regime is closer to the collapse than ever, which is a good thing for the country's well-being, even though it is destined to disintegrate, which would be beneficial for its citizens.

it's hardly 100M people now, and don't forget that we're speaking of people of european descent, thus the number is even lower: you're not expecting that many exceptional scientists from a continent of over 1216M people.

Ukraine is going to be alright. My guess is putin was hired to peel swastika off the germans and to stick it onto russians, which he did masterfully. Don't you know that in the world history good guys always win?

its a tragedy that it took war for the people to start working and get paid semi reasonably.

I know someone that visited Russia few years after the collapse on academic trip.
There were no practical classes to speak off , only theory.
Machinery and equipment stuck in the 80s.
Engineers and scientists paid literal pennies no motivation to work just clock in and out to collect paycheck.
This continued till 2000 when Putin got in power then things started to get back to normal.
They are still not on solid ground the economy took a war to be propped up.

The west didn't extend a warm enough embrace after the USSR collapse, and the rudderless Russian society gave an opportunity to a ruthless, political manipulator, Vladimir. I'm not blaming the west, things could have gone very differently, they did so in many former soviet countries, but in Russia specifically, those were the events. It just so happened that that predator was there, and the right circumstances formed as an opportunity for him to act.

Not in a good way though. There were plenty of all forms of private universities, he usurped them all and standartized everything to his shallow standards. He also usurped all the mass-media, and returned soviet anthem, hiring the author of the previous one to write new text. I wonder why he didn't return the red flag (but red star wiht hammer and sickle is still used by their army) and don't get me started about economic growth which declined and went down under pootin's watch.

The Russian economy was resilient enough prior to the war that it was able to ride out US sanctions and the temporary loss of major exports.

He posts here and on other unrelated boards because he gets his ass handed to him on the boards you listed. When people complain about "raids" here, what they're really complaining about are refugees from boards where the poster couldn't handle the heat so they go looking for a board where they hope to find people who agree with them, even if it's not the board's topic.
This isn't even unique to this particular topic. People who get their asses handed to them on a board like /mu/ or /lit/ will run off to /g/ or /tv/ looking for like-minded posters.
They know even if they're called out for being off topic, there will be some poster who just can't help themselves and will engage them anyway, which encourages them to keep on making the off topic posts. And if they fail at getting replies, they just make a meta thread whining about how there's not enough discussion of the type they want or that the board doesn't have enough people who mindlessly agree with them.

European ethnic Russians have an average IQ about comparable to NW Europeans.

So I guess "WASTED X 2" means "started a small fire which was a brief inconvenience and caused no lasting damage" then congrats I guess.

Protip, if you have to "WASTE" something multiple times then you haven't actually "WASTED" it.

No, it's decades of NATO expansion culminating in a CIA-backed overthrow of the government of a bordering country followed by installation of a puppet regime and promises of eventual NATO membership. Remember how the US reacted when Russia decided to hang out in Cuba?
