As to the astuteness of politicians - I would not call somebody who had tens of millions of his own people murdered "astute". Without him Russia would be a wealthy nation - it did have the human resources for it. Maybe the weeding out of the most intelligent Russians for generations has something to do with the fact that I am engaged in this kind of conversation with you. If you are a representative sample of Russians it looks like after some yeras you´ll go back to living in trees. Let´s hear you bark then. All the best!
