    Decay is always lumpy. In general you are correct, but this topic isn’t the general state of Russia, but the state of their nuclear program. By all reports that program has done much better than the typical program.

      The level of faking in all reports inside the Russia’s governmental apparatus is astonishing, though.

      I cannot understand how they could avoid that regarding their nuclear weapons program when the faked reports are such an integral part of their system of governance.
      If you don’t fake reports, you get fired by Putin for being inconsistent with the other aides.

      The bribery of Ukrainian officials was the most important among Putin’s military projects, and Putin failed to recognize that even that project’s documents were all faked. Whoever has faked any documents regarding the nuclear program has received a lot of respect from Putin, and given more influence in the program. Since 1999, Putin has been hand-picking people who fake reports and replaced others with them.

      The more important the project, the more Putin influences who is allowed to take part in it. And Putin has managed to fuck up his things big time by trusting fakers extremely strongly and assuming the others are giving diverging data because of disloyalty.
      If something in the Russia is going haywire, then a project important to Putin, such as the nuclear weapons program is.
