Collapse of Russia will come unexpectedly

Publication time: 8 January 2011, 17:46

Russia is near collapse, statistical data testify. Degradation of education and intellectual capacity of skilled labor is continuing in this country in monstrous pace.

There are 4 million homeless, 3 million beggars, 3 million prostitutes in Russia, 6 million Russian citizens suffer from mental disorders, 5 million are drug addicts, more than 6 million suffer from AIDS.

10,000 abortions are conducted every day, despite the fact that 7 million couples have no children. More than 80,000 murders a year are committed. Around 30,000 people are killed in road traffic accidents. About 100 thousand Russians die each year from drug overdoses.

The number of inmates in the country is more than 1 million - more than in the USSR during the Stalin's repressions. Alcohol consumption in Russia makes, according to various sources, 14 to 18 liters of conditioned alcohol per person per year, that is more than twice the threshold of physical degradation of the nation.

31 million children under the age ...

Window on Eurasia: Khodorkovsky’s Failure to Turn His ‘Show Trial’ Against His Accusers Raises Some Disturbing Questions, Pavlova Suggests

Paul Goble

Staunton, January 9 – Many observers have concluded that the continuing legal actions against Mikhail Khodorkovsky represent an updated version of the "show trials” of the Soviet and Russian pasts, but few have asked why the defendant and his lawyers have not tried to turn the tables on his accusers the way Vera Zasulich or Nikolay Bukharin did.
And yet, Irina Pavlova argues in a commentary on Grani.ru, that is precisely the question Russians should be asking if they "soberly assess the situation” because the answer to it not only illuminates where their country is now but also what its possibilities and their own may be in the future (grani.ru/Politics/Russia/yukos/m.185090.html).
Recent days have seen another outpouring of criticism of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Judge Danilkin for their roles in the Khodorkovsky case, Pavlova says, but "in reality, it is time to begin ‘soberly to ...

Window on Eurasia: ‘Matryoshka Modernization’ Degrading Russia and Destroying the State, Gontmakher Warns
Paul Goble

Staunton, January 10 – Moscow’s effort be to carry out a "Matryoshka modernization,” where "’the golden million’” will peacefully co-exist with the impoverished and excluded remainder of the population is leading to the degradation of Russia and a deepening gulf between the two groups, Yevgeny Gontmakher warns.
Indeed, the senior scholar at the Moscow Institute of Contemporary Development says, "the degradation of the state has reached such a state that the political elite being prisoner of the mirage of ‘the power vertical’ and ‘administered democracy’ have lost control over the processes that are taking place in the country” (echo.msk.ru/blog/gontmaher/740083-echo/).
The turn of the year, the frequent Moscow commentator says, has forced ever more people to ask "what is to be done” to prevent the country from sliding toward "a catastrophe” in which there will be a cledar division within society of "’ours’” and "’not ours’ and the former will use force ...

Accused Russian spy Anna Chapman onstage to address the pro-Kremlin Young Guard movement in Moscow on December 22

January 05, 2011

"Resolutions for 2011: continue quest for world domination."

Accused former spy turned Moscow It Girl Anna Chapman had a busy holiday season, launching a full-bore publicity assault showing off both her titian allure and a diversified portfolio of talents. She joined the leadership of pro-Kremlin Molodaya Gvardia youth movement, became the celebrity face of a Moscow bank, and finally broke months of silence when she engaged in her first public interview on the Russian television talk show "Let Them Speak."

During the interview she professed her appreciation for guns, received a pickled herring and beet salad from her grandmother, and -- in what surely must have been an unscripted moment of spontaneous television magic -- became mother to a baby lion moments after confessing she had always wanted a cub as a pet. Nude photos of the 28-year-old alleged spy also appear this month in the January issue ...

A Police State For The 21st Century

January 8, 2011: The government is encouraging ethnic hatred and nationalism in order to maintain its popularity among a majority of the population. Even the communists would use this populist appeal to divert anger against unpopular government policies. These days, the government has been increasingly harsh with political opponents. The new one party system is based on former members of the communist bureaucracy and younger entrepreneurs who control large chunks of the economy. It's more of a meritocracy than the old communist system, and the economy is not centrally planned. But the police state has returned, as has state controlled media. Some things, like communist-era corruption, especially among the police and courts, never went away. The Soviet era politicians were politicians that had to work their way up via the Communist Party bureaucracy, Many were pretty competent, compared to their Western counterparts (who have to win elections.) But what most Westerners tend to ignore is the large role party ...
