slade,

post-Soviet Russia failed to explode economically because there was not and still is not any way to enforce contracts. Russians can’t trust each other to do what they say they are going to do, but they can trust each other to screw over the other one first chance they get. Whoever is on the negative side of the correlation of forces bends over and takes and whoever is on top rams it in and breaks it off.
