  1. Russia is already decaying. Infrastructure crumbling (I only went to the Ural, but the difference to Moscow/St.P was astonishing), wages in decline, taxes go up, retirement age go up, young and qualified leaving the country...

  2. Losing the grip would mean less money for Putin and friends. So no way.

  3. They still build decent rocket engines. But what they build is based on Sowjet designed.

  4. Life expectancy is low for Russian males, mostly due to alcoholism. And a good part of alcoholism is rooted in the abysmal conditions of military service. I also once drove with a Russian on a Russian highway in winter. I had a couple of near death experiences, while my Russian friends were deeply relaxed (Russian highways in winter are one line only, because the others are used for snow storage. So to overtake, you have to go into the oncoming line, which was also full of trucks. After a while, you just get relaxed yourself and contemplate your life...)

  5. Misquoting much? Neither did the governor say it’s the only way, nor did he say no to pay rises, simply to be modest (which can of course be debated).

  6. Russia is simply run like an capitalistic Oligarchy.
