this piece is really about the economic decline of isolated, smaller cities in Russia, particularly in Siberiahttps://twitter.com/NHendersonWSJ/status/1109078640208289792 …
Is there an isolated smaller city in the world that is not undergoing a resource boom that is not experiencing economic decline?

clearly not a Russia-specific problem. but Soviet economic geography probably exacerbates the issue, since it created lots of isolated Siberian cities where there were none before

I was thinking the same thing. This is a city that would not exist were it not for the perverse incentives of the soviet system, as opposed to market forces.
