When you see rockets on TV and “miracle” Russian robots on parade, it’s easy to think the old Soviet tech power is still alive. In this video, I peel back the facade and show how Putin’s Russia hollowed out its own science: from once self-sufficient industries to an import-addicted petrostate, from vanishing Soviet engineers to a massive brain drain, from corrupt defense “wonder weapons” to fake microchips and stunt robots. If you want to understand why a country that launched the first satellite now scavenges parts from fridges and washing machines, and what that means for the future of Russian power, this deep dive is for you.
