    What's the issue L? What are they protesting about?

    I found this from 2015 have there been any new taxes?

    This may be a tax for road repair, considering the conditions some of the roads are in.

    They are still protesting against 'Proton' tax on trucks, that exists on top of other road taxes. For a time government was reluctant to properly reform road taxes, then added that one - but not disbanded the previous ones, which resulted in scandal and continuous strikes and rallies.

    I would no more accept what the Moscow Times writes than I would the BBC or CNN. You have to learn to be a little more discerning litwin, I mean you can't go 'wishful' thinking your whole life away.

    Russia is going to survive, face up to it.

    In Australia trucks pay higher tolls when using our roads, a large truck will pay A$16.00 as opposed to a vehicle A$6.00 for the use of a stretch of road maybe 60-80kms http://www.eastlink.com.au/maps-show.aspx?maptype=toll

    I suppose the questions are;

    is there transparency? is the tax used to actually fix the road or is it lining someone's pockets?
    and
    is the tax excessive? I really don't have a gage for measuring what's expensive and what's not in your part of the world.

    private taxation something what the west didn´t have for 300 years or so ., what i know Muscovites truck drivers work on the line of existence ,
    use subtotals, very , very hot


    here the answers to your questions , use subtotals: shorter, Ploton is just a tool for Putin´s friend Rotenberg to make couple of billions

    yes it doesn't sound good and the Dagestan Deputy Minister of Transport is stonewalling them. I feel for these people, trying to make a living only to have the rich and powerful squeeze them dry to the point they can barely feed their families or themselves

    Yes clearly the Dagestan government sent someone without the authority to make any decisions, he's there to pat them on the head and tell them to go and stand in the back of the line (with his suggestion they form a commission and file their complaints through proper channels).
