The older guy says "because of him, we have economic confusion, political instability, complete chaos" while the younger guy says "because of him we have opportunity, freedom, hope"
This gives great insight into what Russians think about the USSR
The older generations see the post-Soviet period as one of instability and chaos while the younger generations see it as one of opportunity and freedom
The beauty of authoritarians is once they give up their freedom you can do with them as you wish so long as you keep your interests in check in military and industry you can enslave millions and they’re in favour
Like just watch this commercial, the conversation those 2 people have sums it all up pretty well

It's also funny af
Y'all ever join a tournament and the odds are so lopsided
It's not even funny

@lunemarie chess
The seeds
I'm 20th.
Beyond fricked
We have titled players at the top
My first match is against a 2100
my best chess achievement was I once beat my maths teacher
Nice
To put it into comparison
A game between a 1600 (me) and a 1700
The 1700 would win 8 times outta 10.
At worst
lol
So yeaaaaah
I think my elo is 1400 when I last played chess
Sad
I mean admittedly
I very rarely play chess
and I’ve never really been into it or to practice it
I play it recreationly
I might be able to get a little higher if I played it and knew what I was doing
Mostky bullet and blitz chess online
Drop by at the club next town every now and then
