Default Corrupt Russian officials

Quote:
Corrupt officials are raking off a sum equivalent to one third of Russia's annual budget, or $US120 billion ($124 billion), a senior prosecutor was quoted as saying.

Without the freedom of the media to investigate and expose and with the Russian Judicary taking bribes - what hope for the continued economic progress of Russia?

Lunecat likes being watched by his government. George Orwell foresaw that long time ago.

Really - but Russian officials sapping 1/3 of the Russian economy through corruption, and a a compact disc gone missing in the post are hardly in the same league!


But when the political opposition are so pathetic - they will grasp at any little straw....in a botched, vain attempt to make a political counter point.
