Don't you know that privatisation is bad?

Privatisation 'raised death rate'

The rapid mass privatisation which followed the break up of the Soviet Union fuelled an increase in death rates among men, research suggests.

The UK study blames rapidly rising unemployment resulting from the break-neck speed of reform.

The researchers said their findings should act as a warning to other nations that are beginning to embrace widespread market reform.

Never mind that this privatisation wasn't new,  had been going on slowly for decades, and actually helped end the Soviet Union.

Never mind that privatisation brought the standard of living in Russia forward by leaps and bounds.

There hasn't been a Communist Purge in Russia, recently, has there?
