    Unfortunately, a team of trained Japanese professionals will have to be issued with the house until the official release of version 2.5. On the plus side: They technically count as your property until then!

    Once all the people who remember the old USSR are gone, Russia will no longer have a single chance of going back to communism, besides the fact that they dont have a prayer in the world anyway. Btw did you even read my article?

    At the same token while that is true, there are still alot of Tsarists protesters in Russia today.

    Considering Tsarist Russia ruled for hundreds of years that is expected. Compare that to 60 years of oppressive communist rule and dictatorship, I do not think we will be seeing the same thing.

    I tend to disagree i think we'll see a Russia that doesn't know what it wants at all (not to mention its dying) also both the Tsarists and the Communist party oppressed the people, there current condition oppress the people. However when it comes to the most amount of economic and cultural development the CCCP far surpassed the Tsarists times before hand well at least after Napoleon(The Czars died with the french revolution and Napoleon)

    Not to mention that the majority of Russians would vote for Stalin or Ivan the fourth if they ran.

    My opinion on Putin is that whilst he's generally done a good job on the economy, he's failed to deal with the corruption in Russian political culture that existed in the USSR and continues today. I also get the impression that living standards aren't improving a lot. A bit of leftist policies couldn't go amiss in today's Russia IMO.

    Where are those figures from by the way? I don't think anyone can dispute the idea that he hasn't sorted out corruption though.

    I took them from Wikipedia, corruption is far from solved, but far better than in 90's and for the record I've seen the economic growth with my own eyes: In 2006 most cars people had were their old shitty Ladas, a year or two ago all have new shiny cars

    EDIT: I want to add: Where as it is true that the rich are getting the best of it (Moscow for instance has the most millionares living in a world out of all cities) everyone benefits. Russian economy is not depended on western, so they did not crash as hard as we did, actually they started to consume more domestic goods during Medvedev.

    EDIT: Oh here it is
    EDIT: Unemployment is 7%

    Ironic...one of the countries that helped defeat the Nazi's is adapting Neo-nazi beliefs. Makes me wonder what if hitler had never turned. On the Russians.

    Going with my extreme amount of awesomeness, I believe what he is saying if the Russians are becoming Nazis, now imagine if Hitler hadn't attacked them in operation: Barbarossa, would they be National Bolshevik now?

    Not as quickly as neo-nazis should. They give Nazis a bad name! :)
