Dont know about the economic progress in Russia. But I&#39;ve seen the picture. Funny&#33; Isn&#39;t his name Yeltsin (not Yelstein)?

By the way, where in Russia do you come from?

Maybe he&#39;s Jewish?

Anyways, some Russian economists are predicting that it will take at least 3 generations of people before the Russian economy can get back on its feet and benefit all of Russia.

Alot of people are hoping that Russia will use it vast resource of oil to help it recover, but that will be some time before the Russians see the benefits of it. Did you know that Russia looses 12% of all its oil to leaky pipes?, I&#39;m serious&#33;. Its quite an environmental problem.

Besides, the refineries that the Russians are using at the moment were built in the 40&#39;s and 50&#39;s and cannot produce high grade fuel.

Just one example of many...

Interesting reading. Oh, his name is in fact Yeltsin. I wasn&#39;t really asking. I tried not to offend him or scare him off. How can you be russian and still spell the mans name wrongly?

I recently saw an interview with putin, he seems like a good leader, but you almost never see him display emotion, which is kind of unerving.... did you know he is an ex-kgb officer? probably another reaosn for his lack of emotion.

His lack of emotion has caused him massive critique when he failed to visit the Kursk scene. Lots of russians got pissed off with him.

Understandable though&#33;

[RalphWiggum]

Putin might be hiding his emotion behind his cold face, but that man is really smart. Good thing Yeltsin actually used remaining funtional part of his brain to name Putin as successor.

Anybody know how Rebed(or Lebed) is doing in Siberia? He could have been a ok sucessor of Yeltsin, but haven&#39;t heard about him since he became governor(?) or Siberia

[Longinius]

Putin is a dangerous guy. He is smart, well trained, motivated and probably a tad more enlightened than, shall we say, Bush. He surrounds himself with ex KGB people in the government and in his social life. I wouldn&#39;t want to tangle with that fellar
