Confucius warned, "God forbid you to live in an age of change!" What if you are young and assertive? In the same Chinese language, the word "crisis" consists of two characters for "danger" and "opportunity". Perestroika, launched by Gorbachev with the best of intentions in the late 80s, as it often happens in Russia, had quite different consequences than planned. It will result in a crisis of Soviet ideology and, in the end, the USSR will collapse. The ideological crisis will inevitably lead to an economic crisis. 99% of the population will immediately lose their savings and will be below the poverty line, yesterday's nomenklatura will rapidly lumpenize along with ordinary citizens. But no one realizes this yet, the majority prefers to go with the flow, which, however, is unaccustomedly accelerating. The most active intuitively try to row against it. An ordinary guy Roma lives and rebuilds together with the country... Blessed is he who has visited this world. In its fateful moments! He's called by the All-Blessed As a companion to the feast. He is their high spectator, He was admitted to their council - And alive, like a celestial, From the cup of their immortality he drank! <1829>, early 1830s, F.I. Tyutchev
