State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin linked the collapse of the USSR with the activities of the ruling party, which had a monopoly on power. In his opinion, she “forgot about the people” and allowed a “huge stratification” of the population.
He called examples of the inequality of Soviet society, on the one hand, “these bags and special rations,” and on the other, “sweatshirts and empty shelves.” Volodin also invited State Duma deputies to think about their effectiveness in such responsible positions.
