Re: #sochiproblems: fun or problematic?
(Anonymous) 2014-02-09 03:13 am (UTC)(link)Moreover, it's not like we're laughing at victims here. Most of the problems that have arisen seem to have come mostly from the political conditions of Russia - corruption and cronyism. And a lot of the responsibility for that lies with Russia. Not all of it - I think the historical cause of a lot of this stuff can be traced to the modernization of Russia after the end of the USSR, and I think that Western and especially American institutions, advisers, and economic forces played a significant role in the course that modernization took and the negative consequences of it. But Russia is a sovereign state, a significant international power and a major economic player in its own right. They can hardly lay the responsibility for this at anyone else's feet.
