)) Bro, do not forget that Yeltsin is crazy, this is not Putin, a KGB officer. You can't buy it so easily for the Nobel Prize.))) He claims the laurels of Peter the Great.))) He is a tsar, like Alexander 1 in 1812.
What budget did France have then, and what did Russia have? Half the world worked for Hitler, including Henry Ford and the Rothschilds, also compare the equipment and weapons of the Red Army and the German Army .. Military equipment was created by Ferdinand Porsche, BMW, Siemens, General Electrics (USA) !!!!, Skoda, Citroen, etc. ...
And the Russian brand is balalaika and vodka)))
How much do you think the Gagarin rocket cost, and how much did the American rocket cost?))) Better not to find out, you will be very surprised!))) Probably because the Gagarin rocket had a pedal drive, like a bicycle))
