To what extent capitalism is united, that’s what I’m interested in.
Today I received the first stage of Sputnik V. Before, I searched detailed info on it.
Its development was funded by the Russian Investment Fund, whose head is a graduate of Stanford and Harvard, ex-employee of Goldman&Sachs and McKinsey.
This Russian foundation has joint projects with Italy, France, Japan, China, Saudis and so on.
What made me think that “politics” is a kind of tip of the iceberg, a performance for ordinary citizens. In fact, for capitalism, the friendliness or hostility of states does not matter.
Amazing.
I believed that Russia is isolated, that no one was investing here, that we were really substituting imports with domestic goods – because of politics and sanctions.
