and I guess it's up to Russian citizens to decide how much tax they want to pay to support their elderly on a level playing field, although they might want to be more circumspect about their Govt's particular choices in international relations as well.

In current election mode that article tickled my fancy that a politician somewhere in the world could actually tell it like it is that sorry there's no more dough left for you, unless of course you can convince your fellow citizens to pay more taxes madam. Only in an ex commie country it seems.
