Of course you know what kind of people go up high ehough into our post-Soviet politicum. I
think politicians could impact I.T. only in negative ways. Who do you think created
circumstances that have made "Ponosov affair" possible at all ? Microsoft ? Not. It was caused
only by overly-zealous Russian "law" "enforcers".

Without support from the underneath, no initiative from the top would work.
Alksnis, Ponosov and Medvedev all give me only a bitter laugh, each for his own reason. To fix
the formed situation, a single End of World would not be enough.
