Dear Log,

«The Russian academy of sciences has estimated that since 1995, the poorest fifth of Muscovites have seen their incomes drop by nearly two-thirds. The next richest 50% have seen their income fall by a third. Only the top 20% have got richer - by 50%. The cash has mostly gone abroad, draining the reserve of capital necessary for investment in business.»
