   Hi, Anatoliy Kovalenko! How are you?   
   on Wednesday, 24 of April, I read your message to alexander koryagin   
   about "winds from Russia"   
      
    AK>>> And then Medvedev again, and Putin, and Medvedev, and Putin in   
    AK>>> endless loop. Or maybe it's more reasonable to make matreshkas with   
    AK>>> Putins only in different sizes for the nearest 20 years? ;-)   
    ak>> Why 20 years only? They can add 80 years old Putin with Brezhnev's   
    ak>> brows. The line can be completed with a smiling skeleton. It would   
    ak>> be a very philosophical doll. ;=)   
      
    AK> I don't think he will make it more than 20 years. Even 10 years. I   
    AK> saw him on TV lately, he feels very relaxed as if he's the god and   
    AK> has nothing to worry about, but such relaxed "leaders" are usually   
    AK> shifted away by a new young gang who wants more power and more   
    AK> money...   
      
      At first, I'd like to point out the main problem of capitalistic Russia   
   after perestroika. The problem is that Russian people have been   
   _impregnated_ with socialism. Building of thriving capitalism is possible   
   only in the countries where there are a lot of people on the verge of   
   survival but who have never known what socialism is. For instance, the US   
   after the depression in 1930s.   
      Russian people in general _cannot be_ firewood for thriving   
   capitalism - they have to many rights and help coming from the state. And   
   I think it is impossible to take all these benefits from Russian people.   
   That's why Putin sits on two chairs. He and his people want to build   
   capitalism, but they cannot refuse from elements of socialism in the   
   country. People in Russia are still not poor enough to start working 18   
   hours a day without murmur. As a result: Russia is bobbling (sorry for the   
   metaphor) as shit in an ice hole and can become neither a capitalist   
   country nor a socialist one.   
      
      Rich people, IMHO don't want to be engaged in politics themselves. All   
   they need is a roof, a person who can guarantee the status quo, i.e. their   
   dishonest money, factories captured for a song, property -- all must be   
   preserved as it is now. Nobody should ever ask them about the source of   
   their riches, palaces and try to persecute them legally. So, if Putin can   
   guarantee them such a service - he can be in power indefinitely, unless he   
   annoys his bodyguard too much.   
      
    AK> You know, someone just comes with his new gang and says "we had   
    AK> enough of you, now it's out time to rule". And the stupid crowd   
    AK> sugared with empty promises screams: "yeah, we need a new life, we   
    AK> need changes". Unfortunatly, this process makes many problems for   
    AK> ordinary people who don't care about political games and sometimes   
    AK> leads to a war. Add to this the growing worldwide economical crisis   
    AK> that is already quite noticeable in Europe and you'll see that many   
    AK> things have to change in the nearest 10 years.   
      
      With every passing year it becomes more and more unlikely that people's   
   anger could mean something. It is true, in general, for all the world.   
   Modern technology allows to control opposition at all levels. Every wall   
   has ears, cameras, secret microphones. Special services have swollen   
   immensely, special forces that surround meetings resemble a picture of the   
   planet occupied by aliens. To prohibit peoples' meeting in Moscow is as   
   easy as to take candy from a child.   
      
      Legal opposition in Russia is people who don't want or have no chance   
   to take power. For instance, every country have 5 percent of crazy people.   
   Loyal Zhirinovsky is a perfect guy to represent such opposition. No risk   
   for power, but they can say that opposition exists. But if some people   
   gather secretly to discuss how to take power from Putin they are instantly   
   declared as state enemies who want to overthrow the lawful authority. The   
   state TV shows their meeting, shot by a secret KGB's camera, and loyal   
   newscasters condemn the men, vying with each other.
