With arguments like yours, you could prove that HeroesWorld is mired in cheating, moderator arbitrariness, and outright rudeness. Just bring up a couple of episodes and voilà — a trend.

All the episodes I've linked to are just the tip of the iceberg. Such cases happen all the time across the entire country. A sensible person doesn't need any of this explained; they see and understand it all. And for anyone who isn't yet aware of what's going on, there's Google — you can find a million such cases there. But you twist and turn just to avoid agreeing with obvious things, and you don't offer any reasonable arguments.

Explain this to me — why does Putin need money? I mean, just why?

First of all, he wants to live a luxurious life. And there's no limit to luxury; the belly knows no bounds when it comes to food. Putin owns 20 palaces around the world, 15 private planes, 15 private helicopters, 4 yachts, and a watch collection worth 22 million rubles. (more details here). In 2012, Putin's official income was less than 4 million rubles, meaning just to buy all those watches alone, he'd have to neither eat nor drink for 6 years.

Secondly, we live in a world where supreme power is money itself. He wants not only to rule Russia but, like any proper dictator, dreams of conquering the entire world. And with a sufficient amount of money, you can significantly influence the global economy.

Developed states differ from underdeveloped ones precisely in that in the former, corruption is orderly and civilized, forming part of the state system.

No, that's what distinguishes Papua New Guinea from Georgia. In developed countries, corruption is suppressed, not legalized.
