That's because the bankers like to stay out of the public eye and let the attention whores take the bullets.

As a member who does not systematically blame Russian politics, I'd be interested to know his Russian point of view, instead to read Americano European ones. |

"How do you see people living in the other part of Russia as example living in Vladivostok?" Are your cultures totally different? Or were your cultures "deleted" by the Communism? I remember three beautiful Russian women coming from Russia, two of them look like Chinese women when the third one looked Caucasian. They were spoking together and my Polish colleague who learned Russian languages told me that they really spoke Russian and not a Eastern language that I do not understand. "Do you understand Georgian, Ukrainian or Uzbek languages? Are they similar or exactly like Russian language? Do they sound like dialects?" |

In Russia there are several racial types, including Asian. A Russian person can sometimes understand a Ukrainian, but Georgian and Uzbek languages do not look like Russian. Last edited by Mosco Vito; February 21st, 2018 at 10:23 AM.. |

Russian is a Slavic and thus Indo-European language. Georgian and Uzbek belong to entirely different language families.

As far as I can see capitalism requires more consumers, more markets and more products. More advertising. Mostly on things we do not need.
It will destroy the planet as everything is seen as having a required monetary value that can be physically recognized. Those intangibles such as mental well being, breathing clean oxygen, the presence of unspoilt land for it's own sake and those species in it seems to be consistently overlooked. As I have said before rabid capitalism is terrible. It promotes division, trickle down economics has never worked and many people in capitalist societies do live rough brutish lives and the focus seems to be more and more on superficial fame. Is this a consequence of growing among an ever more numerous populace and trying to be recognized ? Communism has been far from perfect but it had its strands some of which would have been far more preferable. That men with psychopathic tendencies get to the top in power structures does not help and they did in Russia particularly with Stalin. That huge leap forward taking a serf economy into space could have been achieved in a fair way without the need for huge bloodshed. I currently see Russia with sadness. Many people despite the Putin PR machine are no better off especially in the rural areas. It's a consequence of unregulated capitalism and cronyism which also occurs in the West to a lesser extent. Billions nay trillions go into the pockets of a few when it should be used to benefit the many. Putin glibly organizes his PR events like Sochi, upgrading the military which is happening at a snails pace and overlooks as happened with Chernobyl disasters and treats the victims with contempt as with the Kursk. A lot of self help occurs in Russia and a few concerned rich individuals who do care for their fellows in organizing and funding charities. Which should be the responsibility of the government there. It was horrifying to see the children of Chernobyl for example who with better warning could have received iodine tablets to protect them. It is sad to see young men fighting abroad and dying to put money on the table. The sexual exploitation of young women in modelling and sex trafficking and how locals get their concerns overridden by oligarchs when ancient woodlands are bulldozed because the state governor wants a nice shiny road to a place he cares about while the rest of the infrastructure crumbles. It Russia has huge resources and it should have been a beacon of progress in the past and now but because of selfish leaders it is not. Not to mention Russians are declining in the world. Not just because of the terrors and two World Wars but emigration and a declining birth rate. |

In General, you see the situation in Russia correctly.
