Listen, if you don't know what to say on the subject, shut please your mouth up and remain quiet. Comment on the subject, not on messages that are not to you, ok? If you want to comment on someone's messages, start your own thread and post your unsubstantiated comments about everythinhg you want, ok?
OK, very well. If you want serious comment on your (as usual, more than predictable) remarks -- you'll get it. This thread is going to be boring and full of flames, but if you insist…

I'm quite sure, the anal tonsil surgery was unique invention of yours -- the rests of Soviet scientists were busy with different matters.
For example, due to their efforts USSR became the first country in space. USSR was one of the first in nuclear research, and first discovered lots of trans-uranium elements. Until the 1970’s, USSR was one of the world leading countries in computer industry (BESM-6 was first computer, which achieved millions register ops per second). USSR constructed arctic and antarctic research stations, conducted deep ocean researches, etc, etc.

So, come on and give me a list of engineers, who “never saw their inventions introduced”, with the list of inventions and reasons, why they did not.

This statement surely counts as direct and obvious lying.
USSR had a powerful pharmaceutical industry, and all medicaments actually needed for health care were available without problems and by very low price. For example, antibiotics, vitamins, analgetics, sedatives — most of these were domestically produced. There were lots of medicines imported from Poland, Hungary, India and other countries.

(BTW, if I right, manganesia can’t help much from diarrhea — actually, it have exactly opposite effect ).

Some of these “gray and stupid” leaders look for me like the geniuses, compared with some modern ones…

And how you can so surely know, what these people are thinking “more about their own prosperity”? Have a working telepathy skills?

Typical excuse of any lousy politician — blame his predecessors for all his own stupid mistakes.

Pure and demagogic BS, which don’t worth much commenting.
