I getr the impression that Russian people are historically been kept poor,
and the government keeps the people fed by forcing low food prices and
subsidizing liquor.  Corruption is rampant, and things do not get doen
through standard channels.  A friend that used to travel overseas said it was
common in former soviet states for peopel to have a real job they pay taxes
on, and another less than legitimate job that really pays the bills.  Girls
at the clubs will have the latest Iphones and dress like they are
supermodels, but are obviously living outside their means.  Ukrainian dating
services appears to be a scam where rich men pay loads of money to women they
may take months before any chances to actually meet them.
