That really sucks. Damn Russkies cutting corners...

Though what they don't mention is that $2,000 a month is actually a LOT of money in Russia. That amount is more than a lot of people will earn in 6 months there.

They've still got the best commercial satellite launch service.

"For just $1.90 a day, the price of a cup of coffee, you too can help a commie get his wings."  "Call now and we'll even send you a picture of your sponsorship commie.  Please call now, time is running out for young Ivan and his friends."

$1.90...almost 10 GRV here in Ukraine.  That's enough for a nice schnitzel with some cheese and a pinaple slice, or 2 borsches loaded with crap at the cafeteria downstairs.  Its good for 1 meal but not the whole day.  60,000 Lei in Romania was the standard meal ticket allotment also, that's about $2 as well and I had no problems getting lunch on that amount.

Marlboro lights are only 4.75 grv a pack here, $0.90, for comparison

$2000/month is outrageous in Eastern Europe, that's roughly 10x the salary of your typical po-dunk office worker here.  That would be like American pilots bitching if they get paid $300,000/year.  Very simple idiots, if $2000/month doesnt cut it, MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF MOSCOW.

I digress, back to our show...
