There are many ways to measure the recovery of Russia. The sharp increase of birth rates and declining rate mortality and morbidity are good examples to Russia’s road to recovery. But images like this 15 Russian female gymnast is an aesthetic vision worthy more than a gold metal around her neck. I am particular happy about the strong recovery of Russia’s female athletic prowess. http://en.rian.ru/sports/20100821/160288296.html
