RSSToo long and to boring to read. In a country blessed with such natural resources an average worker makes around $200. Just compare it to, for example, Canada. Besides, Russia is an autocratic and despotic country. Russia is not a free country either. Actually much less so than most western countries. Russia today have no friends because of its treacherous character. It repeatedly sold its best friends and allies like East Germany, Cuba, Serbia, Vietnam, Libya…. Today we clearly see how smart, moral and farsighted it was. Russia is a corrupt country on all levels. Almost all politicians are millionaires. If the West and Russia opened their borders to Russians to move freely most of the country would shortly become empty despite all Saker’s superlatives. Guess where would they go? Russia is a s…hole.
