Times They Are a Changin'

Stability.
Prosperity.
These are words that haven't been associated with Russia for a long time. In the past few years, though, they are becoming much more relevant to life and culture here.... at least for some.
With this new-found life-style in Russia come crazy choices. Gold-plated toilets, pimped out motorcycles mounted by middle-aged men in matching, full-leather racing suits, and multi-million-dollar sports ventures which don't turn a profit. Russia is not alone, though. Look at Michael Jackson or Paris Hilton. It seems that, more often than not, people don't know what to do with abundance.
