And what do you want us to do about your failures? I hope this is not the usual whine from Russians telling us that it was not their fault . You chose a half mad alcoholic . Not us . And don't tell us that you did not choose him . It's your own fault that you let the Mafia and State Police take over your country . Instead of whining , help get the system that will win Russians the best future .
Yes Evil , you are right to remind people of Mikhail Gorbachev -- the one towering genius among Russian politicians of the last 100 years . Now his wisdom is sought across the world and Russia is most fortunate that he part owns one of the few truly independent Russian news publications --- Novaya Gazeta What a marvellous President he would still make . Here is something he said yesterday:- not my translation . The head of Perestroika 1 Gorbachev has given Putin period of 12 days to comply with anti-Putin opposition, saying that the KGB authorities are obliged to fulfill the requirements of participants in the rally of several thousand, and before December 24 to cancel the election results to the State Duma, otherwise the opposition has the right to call people reply to "ruse" by the authorities. "Posing the question of the need to cancel the election. This we have now arisen in the name of our emerged system, say Bolotinsky authorities do not react to it, and do nothing, and lead us by the nose". "I'm sick of this already. If they are in the 12 days does not offer us a solution to the question of the abolition of the election, then we have the right to tell people: "We have to take with you for it". And we are always aware of: "Do not do it, do not do it". If such a way the authorities would deal with the society, if it will cheat and mobilize all their resources, then the society must be able to answer it", emphasized Gorbachev, one of the leaders of the current Perestroika 2.

Is there one great Russian residing in Russia? Aren't they all in America and Team GB with a few sprinkled in other parts of the EU . Don't they say that a Russian only becomes successful when he can leave ? Isn't that a part of your fast disappearing population problem ?
All your questions are only part of the delirium that Gorbachev said. It's as if his own recognition of his delirium Nothing you listed do not Gorbachev said in 1989. He was just like the rider which does not know where , his horse carries him .In those days .
