Russia has more dirty laundry ?
According to Sergei Ivanov, the Kremlin chief of staff, the most corrupt spheres in Russia (in terms of household corruption) are healthcare, education, housing and communal services.[3] In comparison, independent experts from RBC magazine name law-enforcement agencies (including the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate) as the most corrupt sphere in Russia, which is followed by healthcare, education, housing and communal services, and social security services.[4] At the government level, however, the five top areas for corruption are as follows: Government contracts and purchases; Issuance of permits and certificates; Law-enforcement agencies; Land distribution and land relations; Construction.
7. Russia
Pct. saying corruption very serious: 79% (tied for 5th highest)
Pct. claiming public officials corrupt: 92% (the highest)
Pct. claiming police corrupt: 89% (10th highest)
2012 GDP per capita: $17,709
According to 82% of individuals surveyed, it is important to have personal contacts to get anything done in Russia's public sector. Additionally, 85% of Russians stated the government was run by just a few large entities for their own best interests. The only two other countries where residents were more likely to feel this way were Lebanon and Cyprus. The latter was known until recently as a haven for Russian oligarchs' money. These hyper-wealthy individuals often have close political ties, which allowed many to become wealthy during Russia's post-Soviet privatization.

To watch Putin's speeches, his sincerity and intellect are apparent. His concern for Russia is genuine, and he speaks meaningfully.

- he would incentivise 20-30 million of the poorest Americans to move and populate vast unpopulated territory of Russia (he's been trying to populate Russia for ages, he needs 300 million more people at least) - to counter China in the future.
