::::Historical context: Russian road and sewer system decline as a sign of a waning country: The decline of the Roman Empire's infrastructure was primarily caused by a lack of dedicated funding for maintenance, political turmoil (Wagner Group rebellion), and the vastness of the empire (Russia is a very large country) making it difficult to manage and repair infrastructure effectively, leading to aqueducts, roads, and other public works falling into disrepair, especially during the later stages of the empire; as more resources were diverted towards military defense against barbarian invasions, funding for infrastructure projects dwindled significantly. See: [https://decline-of-russia.blogspot.com/2024/11/russias-sewage-system-crisis.html Russia's sewage system crisis] and [https://decline-of-russia.blogspot.com/2024/11/russia-land-of-potholes-and-bad-roads.html Russia: A land of potholes, bad roads and deteriorating car quality!] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 09:19, December 16, 2024 (EST)

::::"Sewer systems in Russia have been neglected for decades. Many citizens do not even have access to working water closets, and some public infrastructure has literally collapsed due to unmaintained sewage lines. However unattractive this fact may be, it should be taken seriously as it attests to wider societal problems in Russia." - [Russia’s strange acceptance of the sewage pit], New Eastern Europe website, 2019.
