Re: Why did the USSR fall

["Chris Doss" <nomorebounces@xxxxxxx>]

Mea culpa -- I realize it is extremely bad form to send out a string of very short posts containing addenda to previous ones, so I'll stop (I think that because I am doing this while preoccupied with various and sundry pressing issues contributes to this). But I thought I should add on teh subject of higher education in Russia that the percentage of Russian young people in institutions of higher learning has greatly increased since 1991, largely as a way of getting out of or at least postponing military service (which might mean Chechnya and has a lot of brutal hazing). (Education correlates with income a lot more than it used to as well, at least in certain fields.)
