Russian lessons on collapse

Here is a link to some archived articles from Dmitry Orlov's interesting blog, Club Orlov. He deals mainly with topics of societal economic collapse, drawing lessons from his native Soviet Union to predict and prepare for what he sees as the US's impending collapse. I think he is well-placed to comment on these themes, though it would also be interesting to see such a blog from a resident of the Third World, because most poor countries live in sort of a constant state of economic collapse, and people learn how to deal with difficult situations.
