«The Monomakh hat» or «If I drop the sphere will it be the crisis?»
If I drop the sphere from the height of my face and it breaks — this is the crisis of 1998
If I drop a sphere from the height of my chest and it doesn’t break — this is a crisis that did not happen
Expressing my gratitude to dear Shilonosova A. for invaluable help in documenting dropping motion of the sphere.
