The Gerontocracy:
A gerontocracy is a form of oligarchical rule in which an entity is ruled by leaders who are significantly older than most of the adult population.
[…]
In 1980, the average Politburo member was 70 years old (as opposed to 55 in 1952 and 61 in 1964), and by 1982, Brezhnev’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrei Gromyko, his Minister of Defense Dmitriy Ustinov and his Premier Nikolai Tikhonov were all in their mid-to-late seventies. Yuri Andropov, Brezhnev’s 68-year-old successor, was seriously ill with kidney disease when he took over, and after his death fifteen months later, he was succeeded by Konstantin Chernenko, then 72, who lasted thirteen months before his death and replacement with Gorbachev.

Russians name Brezhnev best 20th-century leader, Gorbachev worst RT Russian politics
Over half of Russians believe Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev was the best head of state in the past century, followed by Bolshevik Revolution mastermind Vladimir Lenin and dictator Joseph Stalin, a poll by Levada Center has revealed.
Weird phrasing of statistics there… Eltsin is liked by 22%, Gorby disliked by 66%… which would make liked or apathetic towards from 34% of people.
Whatevs. It’s not Gorby’s fault that it failed, and he did a great job in keeping it relatively peaceful. After the last Soviet generation dies I’m sure he’ll be more favoured.

One guy died and it’s a Terrorist attack?
They ‘suspect’ it was a non-white men so of course it is a “terrorist attack.” If white men had done it, it would have been an attack by ”psychologically damaged loners”.
The man responsible then went on a tirade about removing government and how it fails to match the violence seen in his country every day. Terrorism is violence to make a political point.
Why trivialise the terrorism in my country?
i don’t know about you but this looks a bit… suspicious.

when your teacher sends back a piece of work you wrote at 1am saying it’s full of errors and you just don’t want to look because you’re pulling in too many hours at work while trying to prepare for exams and grammar is terrible and you reread it and you’ve just not declined anything at all like what the fuck harry
