If you ask me, I don't mind at all. Especially if we could avoid some of the mistakes the soviets had made in the process. The problem is -- how to do that? We can't just assemble and wish our government surrender their power. ))) Yes, 70% of Russian population is poor, but nealy 90% of Russian industrial and natural resources are owned by 10% of population. Nationalization of private property is a very bad method of starting the new government. Russia had to go through a bloody civil war because of that same decision. If you're so smart, then, perhaps, you know how to accomplish what you are suggesting without bloodshed?
