Before you sell your dacha, car, apartment and pack your bags for moving to a permanent residence in another country, it is extremely useful to make inquiries about it, to inquire about its real life, not just by looking through guidebooks and reference books, but by talking to someone from good friends who thoroughly and thoroughly know all the features, subtleties and specifics of life there.

And that's all we have. The entire small, medium and farm business class.
Which, by the way, also includes young children, schoolchildren, students, housewives, street children, homeless people, internally displaced persons, refugees, etc., etc., etc.

This, in part, explains the fact that Russia's GDP is not much higher than the economic product of Los Angeles County, USA.

Compared to last year, the incoming flow from Finland decreased by 24%, from Germany-by 19%, from the Netherlands-by 17%, from Spain-by 16% and from Austria-by 14%. According to experts, the total tourist flow to Russia in 2011 will grow by 6%, but this will happen primarily due to an increase in the tourist flow from Iran, Turkey, Argentina and Brazil, with which visa-free agreements have been established.

"Friends" of the Russian Federation, according to Russians, are located in the list as follows: Belarus-38%, Kazakhstan-23%, China-14%, Germany-13%, France-11%, India-4%, Venezuela-4%, the United States-3%, no allies-12%.

Some of them (the Prosecutor's Office, the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, customs) have the right to initiate and investigate criminal cases and engage in operational search activities. Russian judges, passing sentences in criminal cases, are wrong in 40% of cases. The percentage of acquittals (if it is not a jury trial) does not exceed 0.8%.

The amount of bribes received by civil servants is determined by the total amount of claims in criminal cases officially initiated under corruption articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Similar indicators are found in Venezuela, Chile, Congo, Morocco and Senegal. Courts occupy the fifth place in the ranking of corrupt industries. The situation is worse only with universities, free medical care, conscription for military service and obtaining housing. Russians annually give up to $ 3 billion in bribes in various instances. About 25% of Russians are interested in preserving the corruption of society.

The real level of corruption in Russia exceeds the effect of economic development. And it will not be easier, because in 2006 alone, the legislative branch grew by 2%, the judicial branch by 3.8%, and the executive branch expanded by 20.4%. The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Control has grown 176 times over the year from 116 to 20,469 people. The number of employees of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation increased by 2,000 people. Rosstat grew by 1.4% - at the end of the year, it employed 23,796 people.

According to the Department of Internal Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, in the first quarter of 2009, police officers committed 18,000 offenses - this is 18% more than in the same period in 2008. About 35% of the crimes committed by the police are common crimes, primarily robberies and murders.

In 2008, almost 35,000 lawsuits were filed against the Ministry of Internal Affairs units in the amount of more than 20 billion rubles. Of these, 19,000 were satisfied in the amount of almost 1 billion rubles. On average, relatives receive 100-300.000 rubles for murder, and the victims are compensated for torture and mutilation in the amount of 10-150.000 rubles. In 2009, the number of police officers brought to criminal responsibility more than doubled. In 2009, more than three thousand traffic police inspectors were brought to justice. And 435 of them – to criminal charges.

In Russia, more than 300 people go missing every day. In 2008, 50,000 people went missing. Of the 120,000 people who disappeared last year, the majority, almost 59,000, are men, 38,000 are women, and 23,000 are minors and small children. In recent years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been trying to classify such information. The number of such crimes is 3 times higher than the same statistics in the United States and 19-20 times higher in the European Union."

Criminal actions of customs officials in the NWTU alone for 8 months of 2008 caused damage to the interests of the state in the amount of 76 million rubles, for 2007 the damage was estimated at 113 million rubles.

As a result of the reform of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the number of units and formations in the Land Forces alone will decrease from 1,890 to 172 by 2012. The officer corps will be reduced from 315,000 to 150,000 people, and the general corps from 1,886 to 900 people. The staff of the Ministry of Defense will be reduced by 2.5 times, the institute of ensigns and midshipmen (170,000 people) will be eliminated, and 65 military universities will be reorganized into 10 training and research centers. Maybe that's why 87% of Russian Army officers are openly disloyal to the authorities. In 2009, only 16 officers of the Russian Armed Forces were able to enroll in the Military Academy of the General Staff.

In 2015, the majority of soldiers and officers of the Russian army will be Muslims. There is reason to believe that in the near future, the basis of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will be hired infantry, whose main task will be to fight not external threats, but internal ones. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation risk acquiring exclusively police functions.

Since 1994, the supply of new equipment to the air defense forces stopped and did not resume until 2007. Therefore, the country's air defense has long been of a focal nature, providing cover for only some of the most important objects. There are huge "holes" in it, the largest of which is between Khabarovsk and Irkutsk (about 3,400 km). Not even all missile divisions of the Strategic Missile Forces are covered by ground air defense, in particular, this applies to the 7th, 14th, 28th, 35th, 54th divisions. In 62 subjects of the Russian Federation, air defense is "brilliantly absent". Such centers of the Russian defense industry as Perm, Izhevsk, Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod, Omsk, Chelyabinsk, Tula, and Ulyanovsk are not protected from air strikes. As for the " new " Russian air defense, so far there are only two divisions (4 PU, 24 SAM). This is not enough to cover even a country like Serbia.

Almost all of the gas produced in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District (89% of all gas produced in Russia) passes through one area, where 17 high-pressure gas pipelines intersect among the vast tundra and floodplain forests of the Pravaya Khetta River.

If forced to obey, a blow to one geographical point of the Russian Federation will immediately cause a catastrophe in the electric power industry of the European part of Russia (it is 80% dependent on natural gas), undermine the most important item of foreign exchange income and (if it is in winter) cause the death of hundreds of thousands of people from the cold, because with the shutdown of thermal power plants, the supply of heating in cities will also stop. From the coast of the Arctic Ocean to Pangoda a little more than 500 km. Air defense in these places is completely absent. Cruise missile - 15 minutes of normal flight.

The economy and maintenance of the building of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense is managed by the company "BiS".

In addition, the Danish Trigon Agri has acquired 121,000 hectares in Russia in the last two years.

But, back to the population.Russia has put an end to demography. It is impossible to conduct a detailed analysis of the demographic situation and understand the reasons for the decline in the birth rate: from 1997 to this day, the collection of the most basic statistical indicators has not been restored. The 2010 census was conducted purely formally and does not reflect the real situation. In Russia, there are 8 million abortions a year, one and a half percent of them are late – term abortions. 90,000 - a whole city of children killed for money.

Former Minister of Regional Development of Russia V. Yakovlev believes that the migration and demographic situation in the country in terms of severity has come to the fore. "There will soon be no one to work in the country. Up to 60% of Russians are elderly, children and disabled people. Of the 20 million men of working age, about 1 million are serving sentences for various crimes, 4 million are serving in the systems of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the FSB. Another 4 million are chronic alcoholics, and 1 million are drug addicts, " Yakovlev said. The Minister added that male mortality in Russia is 4 times higher than female mortality. "Now the losses of healthy men are similar to the losses of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War," Yakovlev believes.

In terms of the number of prisoners per 100,000 population, Russia ranks second in the world (605) after the United States (710). This is followed by Kazakhstan (598) and Belarus (505).
The US population is 312,137,987 and increases by 7 people every 45 seconds.

Every minute in Russia, 5 people die, and only 3 are born, i.e., the death rate exceeds the birth rate by an average of 1.7 times, and in some regions by 2-3 times. Currently, there are 124 children per 100 women of childbearing age, while 215 children are needed for a simple numerical compensation of generations.

At the same time, it is almost impossible to prove a medical error in court. In Russia, the remuneration of doctors and junior medical staff is the lowest in the world, and the share of erroneous and deliberately false diagnoses is the highest in the world.
The State Duma proposes to cancel the articles of the Criminal Code that provide for the responsibility of doctors for negligence.

However, the population of Russia is steadily decreasing not only due to "natural population decline", as officials elegantly put it.

According to the Prosecutor General's Office, the real crime rate in Russia is 3 times higher than the statistical one. For reasons of a criminal nature, more than 150,000 people die every year (official statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs).

In total, a third of the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - about 870 thousand people-will have to change clothes. The total price of the question is 29.580.000.000 rubles. 10 million old people could receive a one-time increase in the amount of the average pension.

The subject "Russian literature" is excluded from the list of mandatory subjects of the Unified State Exam (USE). Now high school graduates can take it voluntarily. This decision is quite consistent with the state line on the de-Russification of Russia and is comparable in its significance to the abolition of the "nationality" column in the passport. Of course, no one can be forced to "pass", and even more so to read Russian literature, but the" non-binding "of Pushkin and Tolstoy in principle means" non-binding " of Russian culture in general.

Petrik is allocated 15 trillion rubles for the creation of miraculous nanofilters. By pure coincidence, Gryzlov is a co-author of Petrik, who managed to get a patent for this technology in Russia, despite the fact that there are more than 150 similar technologies in the world.

From 1998 to 2011, the cost of Ai-92 gasoline at Lukoil gas stations increased 12 times.

The International Fuel Quality Center (IFQC) has published a rating of 100 countries that have implemented diesel fuel standards with low sulfur content limits. In terms of diesel purity, Russia took 44th place. According to experts, " diesel fuel, which is used in cars in Russia, is not suitable even for heating."
Russian gasoline took the 84th place. A year ago, Russia was in the 50th position. In the United States, 450 liters of gasoline are made from a ton of oil, in Russia only 150.
Today, there are 27 oil refineries in Russia, all built before 1990. 1,600 distilleries in Russia were built after 1990.

The timing of the exhaustion of profitable reserves for certain minerals does not go beyond 2013-2025, according to the report of the Accounting Chamber of the Russian Federation on the results of the audit of the efficiency of reproduction of the mineral resource base of the Russian Federation in 2007. Russia accounts for 5% of the world's oil reserves and more than 10% of its production, more than 30% of the world's gas reserves and about 22% of its production. The cost of production of Kuwaiti oil - $4 per barrel, Russian - $14.

The cost of production of one ton of coal at the Raspadskaya mine is approximately 180 rubles, sold on average for 1,500 (without VAT) with a profit of 733%. In Russia, the production of every million tons of coal costs the life of 1.35 miners, in the United States 0.00000002 miners.

The total volume of gas supplied by Russia to Europe is less than 30% of the amount of gas consumed by Europe and can be easily compensated by tanker deliveries from Morocco and Algeria, as was the case during the last gas conflict. But Europe's refusal to buy gas deprives Russia of 40% of its income.

According to the UN, the population of Yemen will exceed the population of Russia by the middle of the XXI century.
However, while maintaining the current raw material development path, Russia simply does not need more than 20 million people.

According to analysts at the Massachusetts Crisis Center, it is physically impossible to control the territory of Russia with a population of less than 50 million people, since the estimated population density, in this case, will be less than 2.9 people per square kilometer. For comparison, the US population density is 26.97 people per square km.
Given all of the above, it is easy to assume that Russia may find itself in this situation in 3-5 years.
