    Has there ever been a period in history where Russians haven’t been oppressed by their government or the church?

        While the dissolution of the Soviet union was great for the world, you would not have wanted to be a citizen of Russia living in Russia at that point. I have family members who still live there and did then and it was utter chaos and also created local power vacuums that got filled with local mafia style gangs or local police who also just acted like local mafia style gangs.

        But yeah, as far as the federal government not shitting in Russians, that would be a proper window of time

          Well, now it’s not utter chaos because one gang won.
