Oppps no. I think there were worser leaders in that time. Remeber the pathetic Yirinovski……Fortunately, stability in Russia, with corruption or not, brings the decay of this “interesting” leaders, right now completely phased out. I wouldn´t enjoy the comunist back again. So despite the problems, they are not doing it in a bad way. They have suffered a really long a tyranical regime for too long.
