I reserve a special jail hell for Anders "Russia never had an economic collapse" Aslund. And he's a Swede, which makes it worse, as he should know better. :) (He can spend his time denying that he is in a jail cell.) That said, the main responsibility should be laid at the door of certain segments of the Soviet/Russian elite, in my view, in particularly the incredibly short-sighted move of breaking up the Union to advance their political careers and ideological agendas.
