What a sad tragedy, I do not understand russias economic circumstances, but flying over russia there appeared to be plentiful scope for agricultural development in the form of unutilised land, with the right investment tis land could be turned to investment. When I thnk of Russia, I feel this is the one region where population growth should be both attainable and desirable. Russians have enough threat to security and life, my message to unemployed Russians is perseverance brings good fortune. It is hard to keep going at times, but each of us are just so creative between us all we can transform our lives and the world just because we are not bound by a contract does not mean we cannot create in other ways. I am so proud to have been a supporter of Russia throughout my life, for me each of you are so precious, remember your life is preciuos, and as night gives way to day and winter to spring you will have a shining future, the further the source the longer the stream.
