Yeah. Obviously when these sales happen the money will go straight into the state coffers (and subsequently back into the pockets of the gansters in the form of protection money and bribes etc) and will not be distributed evenly amongst the people.
But I think we digress. I think the issue here is the progress down the slippery slope being made in Russia. When these lands do go into private hands someone is going to make a profit (there's that evil word again). To make that profit prices will have to rise and therefor more people will not be able to afford their daily bread.
I really hope that some communities will band together to buy their local fields and try some sort of commune approach out there. There may be hope for little autominous anarchist states to evolve - afterall so many parts of Russia are remote from other parts.
