Russian Paradox 2014

Hello. I've come back and got some thoughts about current situation in Russia. BIG BIG BIG BIG TROUBLE. That's how the title should be.
First of all, in a addition to all the problems that might really hurt me, Russia has got in trouble with its economy. President of Russia Putin now break all rules of economics trying to expand his influence on everyone and raise his rating.
If you haven't heart before more that a half of population of Russia appreciate Putin's politics regarding Crimea, sanctions, Donetsk SR and Lugansk SR. What we really see now is a kind of blindness and madness. People in Russia don't care about stagnation, inflation, annexation of Crimea, intolerance which is now supported by laws "against propaganda", poverty, devaluation of ruble, BAD medical care system, corruption and many other problems. All they want is to spend their vacations on the Crimea peninsula. The main problems for them is USA's (and of course NATO) military expenditure and threat.
Goverment TV channels broadcasting only pro Putin's propaganda. Do you remember the time when the Crimea had just been annexed? The day after the main TV channels prepaired the weather forecast for Sevastopol and other Crimea cities like it used to be a Russian territory. And when some people were confused, the other people started to think that everything is ok.
What is going on now? Central bank of Russia is increasing interest rates trying to handle the raise of inflation (expected 9% at the end of 2014) and stop the devaluation of ruble. But it will help only for a short period of time. In nearly future real wages are going down and poverty would increased. Unemployment rate will raise too. And meanwhile people are going to live worse, Putin's raiting will be high enough to win the next election in 2018. That's what I call the Russian Paradox.

I'm going to quit. I want to live here and now in a prosperous country with smart people. And it's not Russia
