I have internet because my mother pays for the apartment, and I live with her. But even though she earns a decent amount, she won't be able to afford an apartment.
I'll ask where you got your data about the 80% of political figures. If you received it through your chakras, then the question is settled.
As far as I can see, no one else here is providing any figures, so our argument is pointless. I can say that Christianity, and especially Orthodoxy, is the most disgusting religion because it leads people away from reality, promising them paradise after death. No facts, just emotions.
I, in turn, thought that after your question about sources, I was dealing with an expert, but it turns out I was wrong.
"1. Zdrov, "State Capitalism and Modernization in the USSR."
2. Zinoviev, many works, in particular "Catastroika," "The Collapse of Russian Communism."
3. Kagarlitsky, "Marxism. Not Recommended for Study."
4. Lenin, Complete Works.
5. Stalin, Complete Works.
6. World History, in particular volumes 9-13.
7. Numerous readily available information on the internet (if needed, I can provide specific links).
8. Materials from lectures on the history of the USSR by Doctors of Historical Sciences Kuznetsov, Isupov, and Solovyova."
Isn't that funny? Would Lenin and Stalin write anything bad about the USSR in their books? And what is this "World History"? What year and what publisher? I'm willing to bet it's from the Soviet era. The only thing I can say is that I don't know anything about the lectures by Kuznetsov, Isupov, and Solovyova... But I'll try to find them online.
And how can I take you seriously as an expert after this? An expert differs from an amateur in that they consider the problem from different angles, and not just from the one that they, for some unclear reason, like the most.
The attack on Orthodoxy is a rather crude personal attack, and it doesn't do you any credit. I expressed my opinion more or less on the topic, calling the USSR the most disgusting state (in my opinion, it was even worse than Nazi Germany - in the 1930s, of course, not in the 1960s or 1970s); Orthodoxy is somewhat out of place here...
And in Moscow now, at best, 2-3% of the population can afford to buy an apartment, because housing prices here are simply insane.
