Russian Consulate?

"Political uncertainties, corruption, and widespread lack of trust in institutions continue to dampen domestic and foreign investor sentiment. President PUTIN has granted more influence to forces within his government that desire to reassert state control over the economy. Russia has made little progress in building the rule of law, the bedrock of a modern market economy. The government has promised additional legislation to make its intellectual property protection WTO-consistent, but enforcement remains problematic."

"a written letter stamped by the Russian Consulate" is comparable to a few squares of toilet paper.
