But what is bad about that? We invest in the West and not in our country, by the way its why Russians dont like its own millionaires. We take control of strategic companies in the West - well the same do all countries now.

That's what I ask - what's so bad?

Obviously, it meddles with some people's interests in the West.

No one seems to like millionaires much, regardless of the country.

For me, I say....as long as the millionaire manages to create jobs, steady ones, then 'carry on.'

I think it is what disturbs the Christian Science Monitor. The West is very money-friendly. It loves it more than the so called "democracy" We eagerly let Chinese companies acquire large stakes in US financial institutions.

There are some historic prejudices about Russia, though.

There is no other business except for international-business, not in this day and age.

Thanks for the link, it made for a very good briefing on a situation I really know little about :)
