Still another reason why Russia is screwed up.


Mikhail Beketov, a Russian journalist who suffered brain damage and lost a leg after a brutal assault that followed his campaign against a highway project outside Moscow, has died aged 55.

His lawyer, Stalina Gurevitch, told the Rapsi news agency that Beketov had died in a hospital on Monday after choking on food.

Beketov was part of a group fighting the construction of a highway through the Khimki forest, near Moscow. The founder and editor of a Khimki newspaper, he was among the first to raise the alarm about the destruction of the forest and suspicions that local officials were profiting from the project.

He refused to back down even after his dog was left dead on his doorstep and his car was set on fire.

Several people with high-profile political connections reportedly stood to profit from the highway's construction, including Arkady Rotenberg, a billionaire who once taught judo to the president, Vladimir Putin. Road construction is one of the most corrupt sectors of Russia's economy, with numerous opportunities for kickbacks and bribes.

In November 2008, Beketov was beaten so viciously that he was unable to speak. He was in a coma for several months and spent more than two years in hospital. His attackers were never identified.

Several other journalists and environmentalists who campaigned against the project have been attacked

Yep, so are you and all the other American land/people lovers.

The American accent also annoys me a lot. To the point you're literally trembling with laughter and anger.

America has higher prices. You pay for your health care, education and much more. USA is in debt more than their economy as I have said to people numerous times. They cannot control their children. Their children do drugs before reaching high school. In Russia, they teach children not to do drugs as they have the sense to do it.

Freedom is Russia is much better. Prices are low, apartments are better and also the education is supposedly pretty decent too. Russia also has free education as the European Union. Even some Universities are free in Russia.

If USA is a good place. Why is it getting targeted and threatened from many places?

Please answer.

Russia hasn't got threatened from what I've seen and researched.

When you say you like USA. You like tax rates that are ridiculous. You would love to pay for having a child and also would love to be lazy as most Americans prefer to not work and be lazy and claim benefits/welfare.

In Russia they prison people properly. That is also another concept I love about Russia and most of Europe does the same too.
 
I agree comrade Buz, let us talk more about greatness of Russia and how the US, those capitalist swines, are destroying the planet!

On the serious note, I don't even know where to start, do you have anything to discuss?
