I’ve just watched an enough interesting documentary about the Russian political system and its evolution. It presents a specific point of view. And I want to mention that it is not against Putin as it could be estimated, it’s just about character of the Russian political system.

I don’t know anything about CBC copyright, but this film is on Youtube for about an year, that is why I think it’s possible to place the documentary here:

Should The West be scared of Russia?

Today I met a very interesting BBC documentary on YouTube. The most interesting thing of this film is that it contains not only the USA and other Western country’s point of view, but the Russian point of view as well. This film is about the main events of the last two decades and about the Russian attitude towards them. I strongly recommend it to those who wants to understand Russia.

Enjoy the film!

Lawyer’s Day!

Today in Russia we have Lawyer’s Day. Although it is a holiday for lawyers, we have to work today. But in any case I’m sure the most of Russian lawyers will find their own way to celebrate this event after the workday.

For information: Lawyer’s Day was established as holiday almost two years ago by a president decree. It was signed as far back as Vladimir Putin and was published in the beginning of 2008. But to my shame, I still don’t know why Lawyer’s Day was established certainly in the third of December.

And this year we celebrate this holiday for the second time.

Taking an opportunity I’d like to congratulate heartily all my colleges!

The VIP person’s tax returns

Recently the President of The Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev and the Chairman of the Russian government Vladimir Putin published their tax returns 2008.

D.Medvedev’s amount of income was 4.139.726 rubles (about 120.000 US dollars) and V.Putin’s amount of income was about 4.700.000 rubles (about 135.000 US dollars). But D.Medvedev owned more expensive property than V.Putin.

For the most of members of Rissian business community and for the most of highly qualified specialists in Russia such incomes as have the President and the Chairman are not enough high. And one of journalists on radio said that these tax returns showed that to be poor is very popular in Russian politics.
