«Социализм не получился?» Дмитриев против реальности

The video opens with the new mayor of New York announcing a shift from individualism to collectivism. Russian investment fund head Kirill Dmitriev responds sarcastically, reminding viewers that socialism was already tried in the USSR. He highlights the Soviet Union’s achievements—industrialization, victory over fascism, and a rise in life expectancy—while contrasting them with Russia’s current deindustrialization, social decline, and economic inequality. Dmitriev criticizes Russian managers who still depend on Soviet legacy and nuclear weapons, likening them to a character from classic Russian literature.
