The history of Russia is a success story, and this topic is barely open. "Gone" after 1917, historical Russia did not go anywhere. With millions of sprouts, she made her way through the cracks and cracks of the communist utopia, broke and crushed its bad concrete, leaving the unnatural building no chance to survive. This is one of the greatest victories of our history. The fate of Russia has always been decided by the sense of self-preservation of its inhabitants, who had something to lose. At the end of the 20th century, Russia managed to win freedom of speech and press, freedom of movement, entrepreneurship, competition, a multi-party system, freedom of creativity and religion. And today Russian society is adequate to the tasks facing the front.
