Robert, you are really an idealistic man, it
seems you assume the Russian leaders should
rather steal money from YOUR state's
government than from the treasury of their
own state.
May be you have seen on TV that the Russian
population is poorer than the US population
on average?

But the mobster's of Russia aren't poorer than
those of the US.
And for politicians?
I assume that the unbalancedness in income
between a honest politician and a mobster
is much bigger in Russia than in Wash., D.C.

In former times it wasn't so ...

Robert,

You are right. Both stealing and begging are professions
but not in the same league.
