Re: Putin reelected
What I could never understand about Russia, since the fall of the Soviet system is this.
One minute your looky-likey Brezhnev wife is rubbing a blackened Brussel sprout around her eyes, in place of mascara, and you'd happily exchange your first born son for a pair of Levis, or a Pink Floyd album.
Literally within a couple of years, your wife's a supermodel, you're now a squillionaire oligarch, and you own more impressive array of boats than most countries navies.
How that all happen?
From bread queue to capitalist captain, in twenty four easy monthly steps.
