Okay, for fun's sake, let me expand. Having been to parts of Eastern Europe, I don't know. Russians are totally corrupt and whoever can break the rules the fastest wins, but Russians are also really scary people. Like dirt tough. It's probably because that country has never had a golden era or whatever, but those people have learned to cope.
