[russian]

I am Russian. I am very-very shame for our "first lady". I have found this post when I tried to understood would be it true or no.

Beleive me, please: There are many Russian people, which don't behave so!

We graduated from real universities and work hard. But salary for our intellegent work is aprox. 500-600 euro (in Moscow it is above 1500) Minority of us can visit Europe for week or two every year. Of cause, we couldn't buy rare wine or unique things. We respect your laws and traditions!
Another way to live in Russia is a life over of laws. Then you would afford to everything. Everyone makes decision on your own.
