Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2012 9:44 amEvery time I think Russia is emerging into the 20th century they take 2 steps backwards.
You obviously have not been to Russia and don't know anyone who actually lives there. Culturally, Russia is pretty much stuck in the 1980s. Look at their static, never-changing TV entertainers and you'll see what I mean. Add to that the awful corruption and predatory oligarch-controlled capitalism, the plutocracy, and it's clear to see Russia should never be compared to a western country. The post-Soviet republics are even worse. In Yerevan, Armenia, you can drive by block after block, each one with a pharmacy, a music shop, a convenience store, again and again on every street. Some must only have 2 or 3 customers a week. "How do they stay open?" I asked my Armenian-born wife. "They're used to launder money, owned by the ministers of parliament or members of their families." But visitors from the west see them and think, "Hey, free enterprise." Wrong. The Potomkin village is alive and well in the former USSR.

It is still banned on a town to town basis in the US too.
