[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 162748, member: 1573"] They've taken "capitalism" to a whole new level. Sadly, the only difference between Soviet Russia and today is that the Soviet oppression has been replaced by the terror of the "Russian mafia" and smaller gangs . . . I was in the middle of a busy city when a vehicle stopped, 3 men jumped out, grabbed a guy who was just walking on the street, and beat him up, and nobody did anything (including me . . . sigh), at least it wasn't to a bloody pulp . . . people still disappear mysteriously . . . alcoholism and crime are still rampant . . . and the small rural villages still use hand drawn wells. Very sad what has happened to them and the surrounding countries. Sorry for the digression . . . I just have problems with lining mafia pockets . . . with Russia, it's a little personal for me. I would be concerned doing any kind of business with them, including purchasing software. [/QUOTE]
