Just 200 kilometers from Moscow is the Kaluga Region, the center of Russian science and industry. The country's largest scientific research complex develops hi-tech advances in engineering and electronics.
No doubt, wants to showcase is meant to showcase great developments taking place in Kaluga region but if one looks little closer in this five minute clip, one cannot help but see perversion and corruption, not development and progress. For example, why there are so many orphans in a region with so much economic development? Second, why these orphans do receive the necessary vocational training that would prepare them for the workforce rather using one of them as a PR stunt to make foreign investors look good? It is clear this young man’s position in the factory is not secure and there are no training schools for boys like him in Kaluga. The story is about good foreigners came to Kaluga, these good foreigners are living in Kaluga like royalties as the local people die out and their children become orphans- orphans who in turn receive handouts from these benevolent foreign investors. If one cross reference this story with the yesterday’s RT short clip on the Dolce Vita mile in Moscow's heart that houses foreign workers, one can see where Russia is going. Both stories remind me an interview RT had with a coalminer and a father of three. He works at the Siberia’s coalmine that had a horrific fire recently. The coalminer, a soft spoken man in his early 40s told RT he was lucky because he had the day off when the accident happened because he was his kids. He also told RT that he works in dangerous conditions because the hourly pay he receives is very low and he cannot feed his family properly with the salary he receives in his regular hours. Is it any wonder that locals in Kaluga have little faith in locally made cars perhaps because they do not receive decent living wages.RT spends lot of time and money representing the U.S for the U.S but very little time telling its readers and viewers what is taking place inside Russia.
mick, It is just about market share and selling cars the consumers want to buy....A Car Cluster is great as it provides local car producers with skilled people and promotes a Russian born car-parts industry which can sell to any car manufacturer in the World, given they demonstrate their quality.
...ah, and Ekaterina Gracheva fantastic as usual, hehe.










This is what the Rockefellers and Rothschilds Jwes were mostly afraid of. When they denied to sell Opel to Russia they were hoping to achieve just this, but in vain as Russia is steaming ahead like a giant.
