lol... after Ruling Russia for more than a decade, all Putin could get from his countrymen is a measly $150?

There is no doubt that Russia is corrupt. But the fact is Ukraine is even worse.

$150 billion. Yanukovich, who is Putin's friend and puppet, stole $70 billion. When Ukraine's government becomes too corrupt, they rise up and kick then out, as they did with the Orange Revolution and the recent one. So whether it's more or less corrupt (and its corruption was from the Russian influenced side), at least they do something about it. What are Russians doing about their corruption, besides adoring the people robbing them blind?
