Re: This throws a spanner in the works
Jun 26, 2002, 11:28
As a footnote to the above article.

I work with a couple of Russian guys who are thoroughly enjoying having some money and being able to buy whatever food they want and having their own bathroom and not living in a two roomed house with their in-laws etc......

One of them, despite him enjoying the 'good life' now is extremely bothered by the above article. He says that Russia has very little good agricultural land anyway (hence some of the problems) and this can only lead to hardships. As he so nicely put it "history teaches that all the global 'reforms' in Russia may lead anywhere."

My thoughts are as follows - the only people that can buy these places in Russia will be the gangsters taht emerged and now run Moscow. I reckon we may see a lot of Russian farms growing poppies soon.
