Crimea votes for Barny Rubble....
so I guess its back to the stone age for Russia then.
Their only sector that is doing anything...energy(1% growth) is being put to the sword in the name of Putin's colonial revivalism. He wants to rejoin the empire. It doesn't work that way. Once an empire is lost it is lost forever.
Just when the energy sector was trying to dig itself out of obscurity & inefficiency with the help of western tech. Putin puts them back into the stone age again. Don't you just love it when politicians & bureaucrats think they are helping business.
