    Russia has been one big slow societal collapse since the USSR dissolved. The current regime has accelerated this instead of creating good policies to stop it. A government wholly unconcerned with their citizens well being and only concerned about power and money. Sounds familiar.

        Those russian windows seem to be really dangerous. Must be a serious design flaw. No wonder their window export business is non-existent.

            Something like that happens every year here in the land of the fee. Someone will shoot themselves in the back of a cop car with their hands cuffed behind them. Its a great mystery.
