Societal standards ? I'm guessing you have never lived in Russia/never known any older Russians/never known any Russians period. When it comes to morals, the Russian people are the most conservative I have ever come across. If it looks like their standards are "crumbling" its because they are slowly being dragged down to the level of the west.

whoa whoa whoa, hang on here...
first off, the game was a big pissing match, and they ran out :shrug
second off, more functional warheads, yeah, sure, thats all well and good, and I'll freely admit that they to this day have a LOT MORE, they were a fifth strike country after all, but, they aint got no way to launch them now from what I am told.
and theres no arguing how broke they are and you realize this
fourth, my last name is Uruskyj. Go ask someone to translate that for you
I am all too aware of russian morals/culture
and they are a very moral people, they just arent as willing to eat dirt to come out ahead in a cold war, at least not as willing as they were say 30 years ago
get back to me when you figure out exactly what my last name means
edit: damn, I just read that, looks like I got something in my eye
