Mass-privatization and dismantling of the government in Russia (that was done with strong influence and election tampering by the US) caused increase in poverty, increase in death rates, lowering of life expectancy in Russia. A lot of people in Russia died due to US election tampering. This is a under discussed topic in the West.

Let's discuss it then, but first I need some sources on 'A lot of people in Russia died due to US election tampering'

I know that a lot of people in Russia survived because of humanitarian aid from US though.

This is just one study [1]. There are plenty of others. Mass privatization killed a lot of people in Russia. It’s already been publicly admitted by US politicians that the Russian elections were influenced and tampered with by the US as discussed in above threads.

I’m sure you’ve heard a lot of things that put the US in a positive light. That’s great but doesn’t say anything except that the US says a lot of good things about themselves.

Don't shift the goalposts, I've asked for sources on 'A lot of people in Russia died due to US election tampering'

That report literally details how the "reforms" the US meddled in Russian elections in order to see happen lead to millions of excess deaths.

This report just talks about _projected_ excess deaths, nothing else.

Bad job, comrade.

No, it doesn't, it discusses the results of PrivMort, a retrospective study, that showed 13% increases in mortality for men in Russia for an extended period of time. This corresponded to about 7 million excess deaths beyond the death rates expected of the RSFSR under the Soviet Union.
