Not surprising at all. If there is one thing that billionaires love is to find ways to keep the involuntary down - thats how their product continues to increase in value. Let me ask you something: if the world has 25 people each worth over 500 billion dollars, then why does poverty still exist. I mean, thats enough money to donate one million to each family in the world, with enough money left over to still maintain their billionaire status? Well, because there would be less demand for their product when everyone is a millionaire. That how rich people look at it. So, Russians are trying to maintain a class-based society by doing this. Absolutely disputable!!!
