III pt. Take the past as an example: the USSR opposed the ideology of capitalism and took a different path. The state aimed to develop its people comprehensively, boasting one of the best education systems in the world. It was a nation of avid readers. Kids joined radio engineering and construction clubs — it was the norm. Sounds great, right? But the USSR leadership shot itself in the foot. Educated and developed citizens stopped believing in the idea of building communism because they realized it was utopian. When the decisive moment came, the regime found no support, and the country fell apart.
Sadly, due to the rigid mindset of Soviet citizens, they learned to read, acquire knowledge, and lead ascetic lifestyles — but not to think critically. How else can you explain the fact that hundreds of thousands of people from one of the most educated countries in the world ran to invest in financial pyramids like Mavrodi’s after the collapse?
