🇷🇺🕊️Demonstrating unprecedented goodwill, the Soviet Union agreed to end the #ColdWar, envisioning a peaceful future with the West. But this proved naive. 🇺🇸The US had other plans: crush Russia’s economy with “shock doctrine,” dismantle its military, and dismember the nation. 2/13

📉🇷🇺In 1992, under the “reforms” driven by globalists, Russia’s #inflation skyrocketed to 2500%. Prices soared, savings were wiped out, and pensioners were left destitute. These reforms brought devastation, not recovery. 3/13

🇷🇺📉The Western-imposed privatisation turned Russia into a fire sale. Oil, gas, mines, factories, airlines – sold for fractions of their worth. The economy plunged into a Great Depression for eight years. 4/13

🇷🇺📉From 1991-1999, Russia faced hyperinflation, a 40% GDP drop, mass #unemployment, and rising suicides. The reforms turned out to be a satanic shock therapy. 5/13

🇷🇺📈On Dec 31, 1999, #VladimirPutin became acting President. Under his leadership, Russian GDP grew tenfold: $200B in 1999 to $2T by 2013. 6/13

🇷🇺📊Even after the Western #sanctions since 2022, Russia’s economy has kept growing and has surpassed 🇩🇪Germany as Europe’s largest economy (in PPP GDP). 7/13

🇷🇺💰Putin brought down #inflation, which was wildly out of control in the 1990s — from 2000% in the early 1990s to 120% in 1998 to 2.4% in 2019. 8/13

🇷🇺📈Putin reduced Russia’s #debt from 100% to 15% of GDP. There are now 160 countries in the world that have higher debt-GDP ratios than Russia. This fiscal turnaround is unparalleled. 9/13

🇷🇺🛢️🌾Russia’s #oil production doubled (1999-2015). Grain production set records. As of 2023, Russia is the world's leading #wheat exporter, accounting for approximately 16% of global wheat exports, valued at $9.5 bln. 10/13

🇷🇺🛡️On national security, Putin defeated the CIA-armed radicals in Chechnya and stabilised Russia. Then he quickly rebuilt the Russian #military, which soon produced world-class weapons and even surpassed the US in hypersonic missile technology. 11/13

🇷🇺🚀Russia successfully test-fired cutting-edge #Oreshnik missile on November 21, striking a Ukrainian military facility in Dnepropetrovsk. None of the currently-available Western missile defense systems are capable of intercepting Russia’s Oreshnik, according to experts. 12/13

🇷🇺☦️While the West has become anti-religion, anti-spirituality and anti-traditionalism, Putin championed #tradition. Over 10,000 churches built in the last decade, along with laws to protect children and cultural values. 13/13
