[#]Politics #Kleptocracy Over the years from 1948 to 2021, at least 19 Kleptocracies arose. Of the 19, six, or 31.6%, returned to functional democracies. The average number of years to return to functional democracy was 19.7 years with a standard deviation of 12.6 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptocracy

@9CL7T9k8cjnD it's an interesting list but 1991 was the year Russia became a democracy and Putin retired from the military that year to begin a career in local politics.

By no means was Yeltsin a saint but a kleptocrat seems a bit strong. But let's say he was a kleptocrat, that means it started with Yeltsin, not Putin.

This is pretty elementary history and brings into question the validity of the entire list.

@philip_cardella So, rather than simply critique, supply some history and build rather than destroy.

@9CL7T9k8cjnD I'd ask if you're kidding but obviously you're not.

Good Lord.
