Moscow Wants More than Just a Sphere of Influence

We might hope that communication possibilities, information flow and other matters which are accepted as "benefits" or "entertainment" by people in Russia may sooner or later come into contradiction with "practical" life in Russia ruled by "new" power-holders. In my understandidng these are things which hardly fit together. One of USSR collaps reasons was development of information technologies in civilized world which USSR could not cope ... So, will see what these technologies which are "freedom-based" by their nature will bring to "super-power" "developers" ... ;)
