Forget Nemtzov, even forget the numbers. For a year already Putin cannot find the "exit strategy" and nobody knows -- what is next? Here, in USA, millions lost (real?) money -- and the answer to status quo was the Obama's election. Will it help? Who knows? It's beyond "money" -- in Russia, or China. What changes must be made to get out of the situation that originated this crisis? Looks like Putin can "slam the door" (Trotzky's formula) on exit. Every "crisis" begins with the crisis of ideas. Or ideals (American, Russian, and etc.) For four months I see endless speculations about oil prices ($200 or $10?), when dollar or ruble will collapsed... and at the same time no more (Russian) borders with Israel, which built the wall with Palestinians, who are supported by Kremlin. And who will pay for this mess and madness? Somebody has to. All will pay. Could the world of the new millennium afford "politics"? It costs a lot. Watch China, which mind its own business. Interesting. Best wishes.
