Kremlin is making. When you hear the secretary talk about inflation at 15 17 . When we have statistics of skyrocketing food prices across the russian space, 20 40 in some places. We know that average russians are having difficulties paying for apartments and cars. We see imports way down. That goes to the point that the kremlin has prioritized their International Adventure over the quality of the life of their own people and at what point that has an a political effect, we will see. The question about where will oil prices be in a year. This is something we should be wary about. There are people that have to make that speculation. Some of the productions that projections that the oil prices would stay the same.

Any attempt to rewrite history of the great patriotic war gets rejected in our country. Now the red army is no longer regarded as liberators. Its on the same board as not to nazi germany. What do you think about that as the son of a person who was in the war . President putin i have mixed feelings. It is a difficult issue. I will try to be brief. Certainly you cannot compare nazism and stalinism. Because nazis openly and publicly said that they are going to destroy jews, gypsies and slavs. Of course stalin was not an angel.
