@NinaByzantina @ValLisitsa "Most important was Yeltsin’s legacy of leaving Putin in power." It was almost the only thing Boris did right.
@NinaByzantina I arrived in mid '99. Nothing could really prepare a thoughtful person for the tragedy that was everyday life for Russians.
@ComradeEnver @NinaByzantina I could not hath said it any better tovarishch. Well done to thee,plus well done to Nina's gobsmacking article.
@NinaByzantina Good work. But.
I object to the use of the word "collapse" to describe what happened to the USSR. If you convinced me to >
@NinaByzantina put a bullet through my own head, I would likely collapse. But then calling this event my "collapse" would be very innacurate
@NinaByzantina Just a question for you, Can you ever see Russia joining NATO?
@NinaByzantina I was in Russia in 1991. xxx I loved the Russian people. So very, very like us Brits. Same stoicism, same dark humour. xx
@NinaByzantina If western style capitalism was so bad, why on earth did you chose to live in North America away from Morther Russia?
@AlexKokcharov @NinaByzantina irrelevant question (ad hominem?) - this is about Yeltsin's capacity 2be a leader, and the horrific transition
@NinaByzantina My prayers were always with you throughout that time, here in America! I recall the pain & tears I shed when seeing the coup
@NinaByzantina Russia struggled in gymnastics because girls born pre Putin talented but not strong - broke down injured before peak time .
@NinaByzantina Constitutional Crisis ? incidentally when Boris boomed the Duma . he was cheered on supported by West/Nato .
@NinaByzantina Super piece Nina. Horrible reality - your perspective might clear the cobwebs from the eyes of some - & stop dillusionForces
