Guys, i`m from Russia and that`s not very cool. Our government often invent new and new taxes. Our RUB felt down to 50% of its 2013 year price. We have a lot of problem inside the country - the biggest one is corruption.
None of these are unique to your country. These problems persist in most of the third world nations. And regarding the currency, you must also remember that the exchange rate of the RUR increased by almost 30% during the last 12 months and currently it is doing pretty good. But I agree that corruption is making life intolerable in Russia.
