yeah sure - its not what it was - but you could hardly describe it as "political, economic, and social collapse "

The capital is still in Moscow, the train still runs to Vladivostok - they've got more N weapons than the USA, they have a space programme and they used to own half of London - not too shabby TBH

Almost everyone has a far better standard of living as well -

Militarily - yes not as powerful but that's not everything
