Thread: Sochi 2014 - Olympic Winter Games (official site)

edvalais,
Because of corruption the EU lose 120 bil. every year. It's not a doubtful article in Forbes (I can't get it seriously after the anti-Russian orgy in the western media), it's official information. Of course, those guys who get this 120 bil. every year are very happy, too.

Sure, corruption isn't a Russian disease - look at Vinci's role in the Moscow - St P road.

I hope you sense, Pasha, that I admire and respect Russia and her culture. I'm PRO-Russia. But when I see photos of the imperial villa in Gelendzhik which some claim belongs to Putin, or I see him wearing fabulously expensive Swiss watches (not air-brushed out like Kirill's), or I read descriptions of Yakunin's luxury villa outside Moscow, I worry about where Russia is heading. Nevertheless I managed to laugh when Navalny (talking about Yakunin) cited Saltykov-Shchedrin: "Во всех странах железные дороги для передвижения служат, а у нас, сверх того, и для воровства."

I'm sure this also goes for the rail-link between Sochi and Krasnaya Polyana.

люблю вашу отчизну я, но странною любовью...
