The funny thing about minorities in Russia is that while our lifestyle (LGBT, etc.) minorities are indeed having a fairly hard time, our national minorities are pretty much having money thrown at them, and I am not talking just about Chechnya, Tatarstan, for example, is also one of the main targets for Russian social spending. The consensus seems to be that it's a counterseparatism measure that was implemented by our favorite alcoholic Yeltsin and that nobody in the government bothered to change since then, even though the populace of everything except Chechnya and Dagestan in Russia is Russian enough in language and culture for ethnic tensions between various peoples to be negligible.
@UR: It's not the form, it's the spirit that matters.
@Arx: Thank you.
@Sheb: Soviet cinema is best cinema. Especially when compared to the abyssal horror that is the contemporary Russian cinema viewer scamming business.
