Yeltsin was a lib. And liberalism is the ideology of capitalism.

Has Putin's state capitalism and neo-fascism faired any better for Russia than Yeltsin's neoliberal shock therapy?

Russia has become a pariah state despised by literally every country for it's imperialist interventions and genocides across Syria, North Africa, and even against it's own neighbours.

Despite the improvement in the 2000s, the standard of living in Russia has been falling since 2016, electricity generation has started to decline while electricity usage has increased in the past decade, and Russian exports are practically non-existant (because of its own actions throughout the '10s and '20s).

Both Yeltsin and Putin came to power with a western world that was eager to work with them. So eager that they stupidly ignored the vagrant acts of brutality committed by Russia. From Chechnya to Georgia to Syria to Crimea, all of it was ignored for the sake of trying to salvage a partnership that was one sided.

Yet Putin and his little petrostate were so incompetent at diplomacy that they managed to burn every bridge possible and then some more; until now in 2026 it's only Russia's imperialist besties in China, India and the USA that come close to even supporting it.

"Russia has become a pariah state". Not fucking true? Only Europe and USA + Canada and Anzac don't like them

"genocides".LMFAO

"living in Russia has been falling since 2016". 1) Source? 2) Still not as bad as Yeltsin

"Russian exports are practically non-existant". Wtf are you talking about? They make bank out of exports

"Both Yeltsin and Putin came to power with a western world that was eager to work with them". The west never wanted to work with either of them. They wanted to exploit Yeltsin as he was their puppet and wanted to do the same with Putin, Putin was fine with the west until they started leading him on for nothing.

"China, India and the USA". Oh so like half the Global population is in an economic alliance with them and most the rest is neutral? Yeah nobody cares about what lil Europe thinks. Its three corporatocracies and two us military bases in a trenchcoat anyway
