Eastern Russia is going to break away from the rest of Russia? Who is going to lead the revolution? Zhironovsky? LOL!
I have not been to Russia but I suspect some one called the CIA and asked for a report to make Russia look to be still in bad shape in the eyes of average America. <G> I do know this. More and more Russians from Moscow are showing up in ski resorts in Europe and Eastern Europe and more people from former soviet block countries are looking for work in Russia instead of the U.S. People from Moscow all say prices are going up all the time in Moscow.
I suspect that the thugs in Moscow lost all it was going to lose when the Soviet Union broke up. If anything I suspect it will gain territory, not lose it.
