National team

Russia national football team played at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, not qualifying from the group, even though Oleg Salenko became the top scorer of the competition. In late 1993, 14 players signed a letter demanding the resignation of Pavel Sadyrin and appointment of Anatoliy Byshovets as the manager. Sadyrin stayed as the manager. Some of the players who signed returned to the team, but several (Igor Dobrovolski, Igor Shalimov, Igor Kolyvanov, Sergei Kiriakov, Vasili Kulkov, Andrei Kanchelskis and Andrei Ivanov) did not play at the World Cup. After the tournament, Sadyrin was replaced by Oleg Romantsev for the subsequent games.[4]

gollark: I don't think you can blame it on just that. The American system appears to also have lots of bureaucracy, and indirection which reduces the incentive to have low prices.
gollark: I believe it can be relatively fast if you keep recent information of where all the satellites are cached or something.

gollark: You would have to detect and correct for it.
gollark: Weird turbulence stuff could happen though?
