That's damn right. Socialism is gone and wasn't that what "you" wanted No different from USA; some people are the richest in the world and next door you have guys living on street. It's more that whatever Russians do, it's wrong. Like Russians punishing islamist terrorists and everyone's barking but Americans can openly torture them in secret prisons BTw, it's not right anymore to consider them all the original 90's oligarchs. Small part of them are those guys. And Russia's rise to largest car market in Europe indicates that more and more "normal people" are beginning to reach reasonable living standards. It's not the billionaires buying those BMw's MB's Volkswagen's Toyota's etc. Sochi It's not right to expect Russia to turn 'normal' in 10 years. Middle class takes time to build.
