But maybe they have already been deprogrammed from their time in the USSR and they are now making their own judgement like most other former USSR members and have come to the same conclusion.

Its a matter of perspective Andrei.

 

How come I haven't? Alternatively, have I been reprogrammed back to viewing USSR as the good guys who ought to have won?

Ukrainian into-space is micromanaged by various Western NGOs starting from pre-school textbooks. Similar to how it works in Germany.

Ultimately, there is only one truth there.

I will say the level of corruption trying to do business there was bad in Russia but not much different to many parts of the world, MENA, Brazil most of S.E Asia etc. However corruption exists everywhere including Western countries so I'm not pointing the finger here.

 

Russia has no corruption problem. I think it has too little for its income level. (Should be as much as Mexico or Turkey, its peer group) Old Ukraine was perfect. Absolutely everybody took bribes, but they were all very modestly sized and everybody knew what they need to do for you for that money right away.

Try to find the actual text of Orwell's Memoir of the Spanish War. Does not seem to be that easy. It is a non-fictional account of how you are being whipped into a war frenzy by the media. I'd like to quote from it.

1984 and Animal Farm were never about USSR, either, like they teach you. The Soviet propaganda was never remotely slick enough to invent Newspeak. The language stayed regular Russian. The modern English is pretty much Newspeak.

Petty corruption exists for as long as there is no good legal mechanism or institution to achieve the same thing. It is pointless to fight it on its own, it being an effect rather than the cause of poverty. Neither is it worthwhile to even measure/rank it separately. The poorer the country, the more corrupt. Except for Botswana, allegedly. They are naturally corruption-free.

• The bank also said it would be freeing 733 billion rubles ($8.78 billion) in local bank reserves to boost liquidity.
• Russia’s stock and derivatives markets will stay shut on Monday, the central bank said.

Russia’s central bank on Monday more than doubled the country’s key interest rate from 9.5% to 20% as its currency, the ruble, hit a record low against the dollar on the back of a slew of new sanctions and penalties imposed on Russia by Europe and the U.S. for its invasion of Ukraine.

The rate hike, the central bank said, “is designed to offset increased risk of ruble depreciation and inflation.”

 

This follows the central bank’s order to halt foreigners’ bids to sell Russian securities in an effort to contain the market fallout. The ruble fell as far as 119.50 per dollar, down a whopping 30% from Friday’s close. It later pared some of its losses, trading at 93.04 per dollar by 3:30 p.m. in Moscow, still down roughly 20% against the dollar in the last year.

Russia’s stock and derivatives markets will stay shut on Monday, the central bank said.

The bank also said it would be freeing 733 billion rubles ($8.78 billion) in local bank reserves to boost liquidity. Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina will hold a briefing at 1 p.m. London time Monday.

The dramatic developments underline fears of a run on Russia’s banks. Already, long lines to withdraw cash have been seen at ATMs in Russian cities. Sberbank Europe, which is owned by Russia’s state-run Sberbank, says it has experienced “significant outflows of deposits in a very short time.”

Russian forces shell civilian areas as first round of peace talks ends

As a first round of peace talks concluded at the Ukraine-Belarus border on Monday, Ukrainian cities including Kharkiv in the east were continuing to face some of the heaviest shelling of the war thus far, with reports of significant civilian casualties.

The latest: A senior U.S. defense official told reporters that Russian forces advanced toward Kyiv by around 5 kilometers in the past 24 hours, putting them roughly 25 kilometers outside the city center. Journalists in the Ukrainian capital are reporting missile fire and loud explosions.

• Russia has deployed nearly 75% of its assembled combat power inside Ukraine, and has launched approximately 380 missiles so far, the official said.
• Five days into the war, Russia has still not achieved air superiority over Ukraine, with its ground forces "running out of gas and having logistics problems," the official added.
• The official said the Russians' goal continues to be to "encircle Kyiv from multiple locations," and to capture the cities of Kharkiv and Mariupol to isolate eastern Ukraine.
• Zoom in: In the town of Berdyansk, which is now under Russian control, residents shouted at the occupying troops to go home and sang the Ukrainian national anthem.

State of play: As the first round of talks ended one of the Ukrainian representatives, Zelensky adviser Mikhail Podolyak, tweeted that the Russian side was "extremely biased." Expectations of a breakthrough remain low.

• As peace talks were just beginning, Ukraine's Interior Ministry said dozens of civilians had been killed and hundreds wounded by indiscriminate shelling in Kharkiv, a city of 1.4 million on the border with Russia.
• French President Emmanuel Macron had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which Putin said a deal "is possible only if Russia’s legitimate security interests are unconditionally taken into account," according to a Kremlin readout.
• The State Department accused Russia on Monday of "widespread" human rights abuses during the invasion: "Russia’s invasion has damaged and destroyed schools, hospitals, radio stations, and homes, killing and injuring civilians, including children."

The big picture: Zelensky's office called for an "immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine" as several high-ranking Ukrainian officials headed to the talks, but he expressed little optimism that the negotiations would result in an end to the attack.

What else is happening: Zelensky signed an application on Monday for his country to join the EU, a day after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Ukraine is "one of us and we want them in."

• 16 Ukrainian children have been killed and 45 have been wounded during the war, while Russia has suffered 4,500 casualties, Zelensky said in his latest address. International monitors have not verified these numbers.
• Zelensky said that he will allow prisoners with combat experience to be released to help defend the country and "compensate their guilt."
• Ukraine's deputy defense minister also claimed Ukraine has received "thousands" of requests from foreign volunteers to join a new "International Legion" to fight Russia.
• Russia closed its airspace to Germany, France, the U.K. and 33 other countries, after the EU froze out Russian aircraft on Monday.
• More than 500,000 refugees have fled to neighboring countries, including Poland, Hungary, Romania and Moldova, the U.N. said.

Zoom out: Russia's currency collapsed in overnight trading, with the ruble plummeting against the dollar as the West imposed unprecedented, crippling sanctions and massive corporations said they would end their business in Russia.

• The Russian central bank raised interest rates from 9.5% to 20% and announced a raft of measures — including the suspension of stock trading on the Moscow Exchange — in a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding.
• The Biden administration announced Monday morning that Russia's central bank will be prohibited from undertaking transactions in dollars under a new concerted effort by the U.S. and its allies that is set to accelerate Russia's economic tailspin.

Russian economy spirals into deepening crisis as sanctions send people into panic The West's latest round of sanctions against Russia has stoked fears of an economic depression after the ruble reached its lowest level against the dollar in history.

 

By Erik Ortiz

Widening Western sanctions roiled the Russian economy Monday, forcing the ruble to crater to a level around 30 percent against the U.S. dollar. Worried Russians stood in line near ATMs for hours amid fears of worsening inflation.

The volatile situation unfolding in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin's large-scale invasion of Ukraine led his country to freeze its stock market Monday as he presided over a meeting with top officials over the economic crisis.

 

The Russian central bank also hiked interest rates to 20 percent from 9.5 percent in an emergency measure to protect the ruble's value. Even before Russia's military assault on Ukraine, the inflation rate was at 8.7 percent in January, its highest since 2016.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the new Western sanctions, which include blocking some Russian banks from the SWIFT international payment system and restricting Russia's use of its massive foreign currency reserves, as "heavy," but argued Monday that "Russia has the necessary potential to compensate the damage."

Still, ordinary Russians remained anxious about the prospects of a serious economic downturn.

Over the weekend, social media posts showed lines snaking along streets with Russians attempting to take out as much foreign currency as possible from ATMs.

A European subsidiary of Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, said it has experienced "significant outflows of deposits in a very short time," CNBC reported.

The country last faced a major cash crisis in 2014, when oil prices fell amid turmoil caused by Western sanctions imposed before and after Moscow annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. Russia's central bank said last week that it would increase supplies of cash to ATMs in anticipation of increased demand.

Meanwhile, certain bank branches could close or the country could declare a bank holiday to stave off a deepening crisis.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced further sanctions Monday on "key sources of Russia's wealth" that would immobilize any assets of the Russian central bank in the United States or held by Americans. The department also sanctioned a key Russian sovereign wealth fund, the Russian Direct Investment Fund, worth about $10 billion, and its CEO, Kirill Dmitriev, a Putin ally.

The Biden administration estimated that the increased sanctions could affect "hundreds of billions of dollars" of Russian funding.

Biden administration officials said Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, the European Union and others will join the United States in targeting the Russian central bank, as well.

The sanctions waged by the West in retaliation for Putin's actions are "unprecedented and severe," and indicate how the U.S. and its allies are being more forceful than the "tepid" response in 2014, said Margarita Balmaceda, a professor of diplomacy and international relations at Seton Hall University and the author of "Russian Energy Chains."
