You know that somewhat famous story of the bridge being stolen?
Yeah, post Soviet Russia was a smash and grab dreamscape. If you could take it and keep it without getting shot, it became yours. A lot of oligarchs got started then. A lot more wannabes died in the process.
I don’t know that story, actually, but I am intrigued now
Couple dudes showed up with some trucks and some tools. Literally cut down a bridge, then sold it for scrap.
That kind of thing was happening everywhere in a less literal sense: as the government collapsed, government property was being rapidly taken control of by random people.
It’s like how the US government is being sold for scrap to rich people, but with a whole lot less control and a whole lot more violence.
Oh wow, those guys literally had a bridge to sell then.
