  Gaidar, who contributed perhaps more than anyone else, to the dismantling of the Russian economy, has words of wisdom for the current crew of crooks. This should be rich.

  Nostalgia for days of international greatness seems completely reasonable. And the economy of Russia isn't booming. It just high oil prices that make it seem that way. The "economy" that Gaidar created is hollow.

  "Russian growth started before the rise in oil prices." Oh sure, after it had contracted by something like 40%. More like a dead cat bounce.

  Leonard, it would have been useful for you to have read Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine before doing this interview.

  Eye-gor is the man who invented over-the-horizon Gaydar.

  The Gaidar who should be arrested is not his daughter, but rather him, for economic crimes against the Russian people.

  Edward

  Don't know what you mean by "sour grapes." I'm not Russian, so it's not personal. Just want the perps of shock doctrine to be exposed for the vultures that they are.
