@yogthos the GDP plot is very interesting. It shows a downward trend in the 90s and after that, upwards again emulating the soviet era, any ideas to which historical events is that caused by?
@santiago the downward trend was basically the economic shock therapy of mass privatization, and the stabilization is when there started being more state control over the industry again.
Incidentally, Russian economy today is largely state owned and centrally planned, except now all the benefits of that go into the pockets of the oligarchs.
