Russians get taste for yachts

Russians are turning to the Moscow Shipyard to feed their appetite for customised super yachts and the popular new toy for Russia's elite can now be seen sailing the waters of the Moscow River.

Its because of the Russian Mafia

Americans and Russians arguing over poverty rates is akin to Norwegians arguing with the Japanese over who is nicest to whales.

@theinsane101 - you just admitted you used the US poverty rate to compare to the Russian rate (you seem to have trouble understanding that little factoid). Thanks for finally admitting your dishonest representation of the facts. Have a good day.

[theinsane101]

@dayingyang0 I mentioned the US poverty to make it abundantly clear to some of the anti Russia personalities in this forum that the US is not a perfect jewel. The poverty rates are similar the severity of that poverty is not, this is what my comment was supposed to illustrate. Nowhere did i say that the poverty is the same, that is simply your own flawed extrapolation. This is why everything you posted thus far is irrelevant, you seem to have trouble understanding that little factoid.

@theinsane101 - reality check. Why would mention the US poverty rate at all if you're not using it in comparison? YOU WOULDN'T! It's not about superiority, it's about reality. In reality you were trying to compare the poverty rate in Russia with the poverty rate in the US. Using "federal poverty line" doesn't negate or differentiate anything and your argument is nonsensical. Admit the truth and move on.

''Poverty in russia went down from 40% in 1988 to 17% in 2009. in the United States 12% to 17% live below the FEDERAL POVERTY LINE at any given point in time.''

Now why would i mention the federal poverty line if i wanted to deceive the reader into thinking that poverty in the USA is just as bad as poverty in Russia? The first statement about Russia and the second statement about the US are unrelated.

You should check your logic before you go on developing a false sense of superiority.

@theinsane101 - a "direct compression," time for you to invest in some basis writing courses. The failure in logic is yours. It's obvious from your post that you intended to make a direct comparison between the poverty level in Russia and the US. Now you're trying to escape your purposeful deceit after I called you out on it. Your use of the term federal is irrelevant in this context. Maybe the problem is that you don't speak English.

[theinsane101]

@dayingyang0 This is not even a failure of logic, but a complete failure of thought processes. Where did i state that poverty in russia was the same as poverty in the USA? Did my original comment confuse you? Invest in a critical thinking course to avoid future confusion. I wrote ''federal poverty line'' so that the reader does not assume that i am making a direct compression. This is why your comment is irrelevant. Cya.

@theinsane101 -LOL. I present you with the facts and you call them irrelevant. The FACTS are that your comparison was incorrect and that the average Russian is considered to be well below the US poverty line. Yes, Russia has improved, but that wasn't the point you made earlier. You were making incorrect comparisons and I called you on it.

[theinsane101]

@dayingyang0 Irrelevant. Russia has slashed its poverty in half since the economic collapse. Also you'll find that the impoverished are actually villagers. 27% of the population are villagers after all.
