Why Communism Failed, Part 2


Since the first Why Communism Failed post was so popular....

Only in Russia… has a collection of Russia pics that make my China collections seem almost post-modern.
I'm about halfway through an old book called "The Turning Point", which explains the need for every architectural and mechanical improvisation you see in the pictures.
The authors, a pair of Russian economists, explain how and why every supply chain in the nation broke down.

The need to get into a tanning bed wearing long sleeves and an ankle length skirt, however, remains a mystery.
Enjoy the pictures.
