Poor Russians... Their government is saying "WE ARE STAYING IN THE DARK AGES"
They didn't go back to communism when I wasn't looking did they?
Weird.
TC.
They never left it
Indeed. The Russian communists are still in charge and they have a history of charming gullible Westerners into investing there - only to disappropriate them later. Should this news be real, it should be a warning sign for all foreign investors in Russia that another cycle of openness->investment->disappropriation is coming to an end.
