FYI After USSR was destroyed many factories were selled as a scrap metal (you know - fast money), but it`s had some side effect - many cities were built around and for that factories. So people there slowly dying without any reason to live. Also I know something similar happened in USA when factories were moved to Asia. But this game show some post-soviet specific.

> FYI After USSR was destroyed

that's an odd choice of words; I believe most people would say it dissolved

Well, actually it was a choice of bureaucracy to destroy USSR, without active resistance from other side of government. People voted to keep USSR, but bureaucracy wanted to have private property.

> most people would say it dissolved

Thats what propaganda told us, because you need somehow legitimate your property ;)
