Just seen that my comment is the only one. Let's english it a bit. Great book, thank you and your host. Our great historian Milorad Ekmecic always had in mind "historical proccesis of long duration", and he is right, but sometimes, idiots do so much harm that everuthing went to chaos.
Читам Вашу књигу, поштовани професоре. Речи сина Денг Сјаопинга, изречене америчком репортеру:" Горбачов је идиот", су суперсублимција Ваше величанствене студије. Хвала Вам и свако добро Вама и породици.
Who is the person mentioned around 50:20 ? It sounds like 'Nikolai Petrikov' but I cannot find any Soviet economists by that name. If a reference can be provided, that would be most appreciated.
If you Google ‘Petrakov Nikolai Yakovlevich’ there is a page which will show up with information on him. Not sure where the Yakovlevich came from, but Nikolai Petrakov was an economic advisor of Gorbachev.
Make the long story short, billionaires poped like a fungus on a dead tree trunk. Now they run out of anything worth stealling so they look at green pastures across the fence.
It's really miserable, that Russian writer didnt care about the part of his native readers, and we need translate his work. Обращаясь к Владиславу Мартиновичу- очень жаль, что Вы не воспринимаете русскоязычный сегмент читателей. Многие из нас были бы рады такому грамотному анализу произошедших событий.
He is a little more Russian than Ain Rand. He did his bet with Gaidar and friends, than went to USA, kids, schools, job etc. Now, he is anti Putinist. But, he is historian, not just Timoty Snyder tipe of moron. Живела Русија, свака Русија, из Србије!
English is the international language of science, and he works for a British university. So of course he writes in English, if he wants to reach the world. The book can be translated afterwards into as many languages as there are, including into Russian. (Saying this as a 100% non-native English speaker myself.)

fascinatory
Ofcourse "idiot" in the ancient Greek meaning of the word. Molotov remembers:" Hitler and Trocky were adventurers", fits nice to my argument.

Just read the Review Essay in 'American Affairs' that was issued for Spring 2022.
