Yes, and this is in a country which is used to being used to support their

But... what can the angry people do, that's the question?  It took a lot of

take down the Soviet Union.  Can people get that angry again and can the
upper reaches of the government get that demoralized?

There is a reason why russian soldiers from the country side are stealing
kitchen and bathroom equipment. Russia is bigger than Moscow and St
Petersburg and when the country side farmers and serfs get angry, it is
game over.

Yeah, but they did that in WWI and WWII also....  the farmers have been
angry for a long time.  How much more angry do they need to be?  I wish
I knew.

This is indeed a very difficult and important question. Someone did manage to fire up the people around 1917, and the house collapsed when the soviet union fell. It has happened. Will it happen soon? In a year? In two years? Hopefully we will all be alive when it happens.
