Not counting the short time death toll, restitution of capitalism in Russia had almost the same magnitute and severity of impact as… world war II.
In peacetime. It is probaly the worst and biggest manmade non-war catastrophe ever in history.
And socialism rebuild the country after the most devastating war ever in 10 years, while capitalism couldn’t do it from it’s own establishment event even in 30.
Capitalism is very inefficient system, so they needed 30 years to reach the outside economic stats like real GDP from before the fall. And i can just guess it is still not real because it includes bubbles which didn’t exist in socialism, so they couldn’t really.
And they of course did not bother trying because some of the most important for socialism things, like equality, education, healthcare etc etc aren’t on capitalist checklist at all, so they never went back and in fact even worsened in that 30 years.

Yeah, it was probably the biggest human tragedy of the 20th century on a scale most people don’t really comprehend.
Instead westerners turn it into jokes
I bet it’s not gonna be as funny when this sort of thing starts happening in Europe in the near future as the economy continues to unravel.
They’ll still blame us for that
They already are, the whole narrative in the west is that the economy going to shit is somehow Russia’s fault.

Couldn’t or haven’t bothered trying?
Both.
