Well, there was a good russian joke: "the russian to the american:, you rich americans, you have
two parties, we, poor russians, only have one dictatorial party".

However, now even some from UK complain that UK is not the most outdated democracy in europe,
and russia is more than half-way in terms of a center-based multiparty system, what UK is
dreaming of.

And at a minimum, russia, without natural borders since birth, knows what another war twice
a generation means.

Not to forget oil for $10 or $30/barrel, although little dreams of $100-150 as Texas before the S&L scandal.

Dynamite and Nobel, was kind of forgotten??

Strange, as the Nobel stuff and cash was mainly from the oil of the Caspians, something the Nobel brothers
were not that proud of..

But maybe that was seen as too demanding in knowledge of history, in comparison to Disneyland??

One need to adapt, obviously..
