I was there!
How did it feel? Assuming you where old enough to understand and either way how does it feel looking back? I can’t imagine anything that would bring 25% of my country together like this
It was strange. The smell of freedom lurking just around the corner mixed up with fear of repercussions.
I think a lot of it was fueled by the incompetence of the soviets. They hadn’t left much for the people to lose - it would work the same in any country, I imagine.
It was perpetrated by same oligarchs that got to buy all of working infrastructure and then fucked it up
You’re thinking of Russia, they didn’t do well from the break up of the USSR because they were always an extractive empire. The Baltic states gained their independance and I don’t think anyone can seriously claim they’re worse off

Keep forgetting how small of countries alot of countries are and rural, wealthy so they are more willing and trusting of government
I agree, that is an amazing thing to be part of. Would love to hear more.
