This is Vladivostok in general these days. A rusted out, disused empty ghostyard of a once powerful USSR.
It's much the same for most of Russia. A Russia that is half as powerful as that of its USSR past.
Besides a nation of social apathy, neglect, gangs, crime, drugs, alcohol and more. Russia's main power base is in West Russia. The Satellite States of the former USSR black-market off much of the USSR armaments.
You can buy a nuke at Tadjickistan.

The world was on the brink of a possible USSR v USA all out Thermonuclear war (with more warheads than there are today) - it was a very real possibility.
Then, for some reason - it didn't happen and the 'futility' of that confrontation came forth.

Since then, Russia has slowly 'rusted'. A shadow of its former glory. Only riding on 'past' reputation.
China would 'smash' Russia today.
Especially when China's main military factor is 'ground-based Troops'. It makes more sense to invade Russia than to swim across the sea against the USA - which has a superior Navy & Air Force.

Remember - many high ranking Military people and Politicians actually believed that the entire Northern Hemisphere should be 'All White' like some Yin/Yang and the Yellow people to be kicked south out of Asia and Brown people exiled from the Middle-East like some great successful crusade.
Don't laugh - they believed it as much as Hitler believed his version of the 'Master Plan'.

But if anyone knows DNA and cellular activity - the Yin/Yang concept would be a flawed act of 'human' evolution only designed for 'simple' primatives who can only see in 'black or white'.

Vladivostok - just another ghost from the past.
