That would go along way to alleviating poverty in Russia." **** Levelling the wealth disparity in other countries can do wonders as well. Plenty of "crooks" to be found elsewhere. As for Russia, the existing circumstances lead some to conlcude that Putin doesn't have as much clout as others suggest. “The Super rich has mopped up the wealth of the country.

What Russia needs is not preachers, but free immigration, a low barrier for entry in business and access to the world market: Peter I had that right. “if Russia keeps digging all its wealth out of the ground its going to end up with a country built on very shaky foundations”
