Or, in any case, the people did not mind, but the elite was really pleased. Especially in Central Asia, where everyone remembered very well how the KGB persecuted local magnates in the cotton business.
In short, then in the ninety-first USSR rested on the Bose. And maybe only Vladimir Zhirinovsky grumbled a little, like that for show. Or maybe playing for the audience or wanting to stand out.
Then there was Yeltsin's rule. A time of great opportunities for some, and deprivation, and terrible problems for others. Yeltsin himself did not even try to glue the empire of the USSR, but only to return Chechnya under control. And what a fierce resistance it caused. Including within the country. And even Gaidar's Choice of Russia spoke out against it. As well as the communists. Only Zhirinovsky supported this war. But maybe that's why he undermined his own rating and deprived himself of the chance to become the new Russian tsar.
Zhirinovsky, of course, was a charismatic leader. But he lacked neither courage nor will. In particular, it was not necessary to corrode the belly so-so when a significant part of the people are starving. And diet and exercise.
Well, okay, Zhirinovsky is dead. And the king lost his favorite jester. Which was so funny and funny. He entertained and uplifted. But there was little real sense and benefit from it. Rather, on the contrary, Zhirinovsky was too radical a patriot, perhaps even a caricature. And he seemed to ridicule patriotism. Well, like the good soldier Schweik, he was also a caricature of the patriot of Austria-Hungary.
And it was funny, but rather harmful to the cause. But all the same, the king is not well and bored without a jester. Here Dmitry Medvedev is clearly not drawn to this role.
Vladimir Putin, in Hitler's body, sighed heavily. He was not yet accustomed to the new body, and lived in memories of the past. And it was ambiguous, especially in recent years. However, of course Putin was a lucky ruler. For example, such a rare gift of fortune as the September 11 terrorist attack. This is indeed a great success. Instead of fighting the Taliban themselves, the Americans were dragged into a massacre unnecessary for the United States.
This, for example, is the same if Hitler fought for twenty years with Britain and the Yankees than attack the USSR. And Stalin himself could choose in this case the moment when to strike. And do not fall under a terrible blow yourself.
But Hitler was able to forestall Stalin. And here is the result - the Germans near Moscow. And if the winter had been milder and drier, then perhaps we would have been in the capital itself.
Yes, Stalin was lucky here. Although on the other hand, well, why are the most successful rulers, those who are so cruel? Here he is Vladimir Putin, of course, not Stalin. But maybe that's why Ukraine was not given to him?
What can be said about Hitler? On the one hand, he had phenomenal successes, but on the other hand, he had catastrophic failures. A kind of fortune laughed at Adolf - gave him confidence in himself. But then she abandoned and framed. And there were so many casualties and losses on both sides.
The USSR did not gain much from victory in this war. Territorial acquisitions were small. Moreover, Stalin gave away part of the Brest region and the Bialystok region for free and without asking Poland. And they didn't get much. It would be better if this war did not exist. The population of the USSR decreased to 170 million. And under the tsar-father Nicholas II, in 1914 it already amounted to 180 million people. So the tsar-father Russian increased, and Stalin thinned.
And the Germans lost a lot under Hitler. Although the capture of Europe and Poland cost only thirty thousand killed. Stalin in the war with Finland lost 126 thousand, which is much more significant. Yes, this is how it turned out gallimo.
It was good to get into the body of Stalin before the attack on the USSR by Nazi Germany. And do something. Really, what exactly is it? Hit yourself, as Suvorov-Rezun advised? This has its pros and cons.
The downside, in particular, is that the Soviet troops are not quite ready to attack. In particular, both new tanks and aircraft have not been properly mastered by the troops. The good news is that the Germans don't expect a preemptive strike. And they can be taken by surprise. Yes, and the Soviet troops were much larger and better taught to attack than to defend. By the way, real practice has shown that the Nazis are much better at attacking than defending.
For example, if the Nazis advanced magnificently, and by the fall of forty-two captured territory comparable to two Roman empires. Then in defense they quickly merged.
Counting from the Kursk Bulge, where the Germans last tried to launch a major strategic offensive and turn the tide of the war by seizing the initiative, it took Stalin only nine months to recapture Ukraine and Crimea. Well, if you count Galicia, then you can add a couple more. And in total, the Germans did not last two years after the Battle of Kursk.
Yes, they are weak, they were on the defensive. And the Fuhrer? And what about the Fuhrer, he shot himself. And then they say that the courage was not enough, to do it yourself - they helped!
Vladimir Putin shook himself. The body is indeed almost twenty years younger than before, which is great. Adolf Hitler is short. Just like Vladimir Putin himself. And this allows you to get used to the new body faster.
And of course he has great potential. Especially if you fight with Stalin.
This is what can be blamed on the mustachioed devil for not holding a personal meeting with Hitler in the autumn of 1940. Perhaps, in this case, both dictators would have so charmed each other that an alliance would have been concluded instead of war. Here's an example of how they have with C. Although Do Xi also got along well with other Chinese presidents. But still, it's easier to deal with your peer than with an older or younger leader. For example, Lukashenka and Medvedev did not get along with each other. They had a difference in age and upbringing. Medvedev is the son of a professor - an intellectual, and Lukashenka is the son of a collective farmer and no one knows whom.
Putin, whose father was a simple worker and liked to drink, was also easier with Lukashenka. Perhaps it would have been more difficult with a different leader. Especially if he was young and intelligent. As, for example, Putin's relationship with Macron did not work out.
Both Hitler and Stalin's fathers were drunkards, and both dictators experienced poverty, humiliation and were in prison. So it could well have agreed in a personal meeting. But for some reason Stalin did not want this. Perhaps he did not want to deal with such an odious person as Hitler, but wasn't Stalin himself an odious person too? And at that time, it was the leader of the USSR, and the Fuhrer of Germany, who was much more bloody.
