Soldiers are out on the streets with tin cups and selling what medals they once were given for fighting against the Nazis. High-ranking officers are kicked out of their homes, with landlords renting their places to anyone with big bucks. U.S. business tycoons have had a field day in sending American tradesmen to Russia to build houses for the filthy rich. Only those robbers who have such loot rent these fully furnished homes at those prices, and they do. Workers have not received a paycheck in months.
Prostitution is rampant.
The mortality rate has risen even higher than when Czar Nicholas was in power prior to the revolution. Starvation is rampant, the elderly are dying like flies and the children have very little chance at survival once they are born. Crime in Yeltsin's Russia is so high that one risks his life by going out at night unless a bodyguard is employed. This ugly situation came about because the U.S. government used the American people's money to bribe people like Gorbachev and Yeltsin. With a thrust from the outside and a Trojan horse from the inside, the Soviet government was wiped out.
