Finally, they started writing about real issues, not about the ramblings of some madman.
Things are generally better now, yes, I agree, BUT only because oil prices are high. The economy still isn't working, and many enterprises have closed down over the past 20 years. Government institutions, courts, business, bribes, lawlessness, police, bandits – all of this makes me feel sick, to be honest. I don't know what to do. I don't want a revolution, but it's also shameful to live like this. Maybe we need to start with ourselves, not with the authorities. There is an alternative to Putin; look for it on the internet.

Well, in general, that's true; the root of the problem lies in the courts. If they were made honest and independent, 90% of the problems would disappear on their own. But in today's reality, that sounds like a utopia – how can you judge your own people? And further, friends, relatives, acquaintances – everything is resolved according to unwritten rules; one protects another. It's all tied to that group that the guy from Hermitage Capital talked about – as long as they exist, there won't be fair courts, and that's the problem. And no one can give an answer to what to do about it. Only in the long term can we try to change something.
