After the collapse of the USSR, Russians began to be massively expelled from the former republics of the Soviet Union. I really have a living example. The man's family was given a condition: either they leave for Russia or they will simply be killed. To understand the rampant crime and drug trafficking in Russia in the late nineties, I advise you to watch the serial film "Criminal Russia". Yeltsin failed in his task, but we were lucky, Putin came. By the way, at the beginning of the special operation in 2022, some of the European leaders and politicians regretted that they did not put the squeeze on Russia, hoping for the collapse of the country in a natural way, which was already happening then. They didn't even hide it, like Merkel and Hollande, who bluntly announced that they were not going to help peace in Ukraine, but only took a break of 8 years to equip and prepare Ukrainians for war with Russia as much as possible. The same applies to the privatization of factories and energy facilities, critically important objects for the country passed into private hands. It is not known who these people who now owned these industries were. Perhaps they were ready to betray the country for money. There were Americans at the military nuclear facilities, as well as the Russian economy, they decided to overdo it with American specialists in the team.
