  1. For those who have studied the character of the Russian government, knows that the Russian government is governed by mobs and gangs, where power is concentrated in a few hands. And wherever such a concentration of power exists, there you shall find great crimes and great criminals – that is to say, psychopaths. This is the character of the Russian government. In 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, power remained concentrated in a few hands. The government was not really accountable to anyone. Despite this underlying reality, everything was arranged so that it all appeared to be moving in the direction of democratic capitalism and proper checks and balances, but nothing of the kind ever happened. The objective of making changes in the first place was to fool the West. The problem of today’s Russia goes back to 1917 when the country was taken over by gangsters who called themselves “communists”. We must not be naive about the idealistic terms the Russian communists used to describe their “mission". Hitler said Russia was monstrous cancer on the body of Europe and while he was an evil man and a murderer, he was correct. The Soviet system was indeed cancer and it was helped by all those western fools who morally supported it. Bernard Shaw, Pablo Picasso, Theodorakis, Yves Montand, and many many others...Despite the millions of words written on Putin's Russia, the West still fails to truly understand Russia.
