Spicy Russians

This weekend, the Russians will elect a new president. Though Putin will not necessarily be riding off into the sunset and retiring to his dacha in the Crimean, people are already looking back at what he has done for Mother Russia. She is once again strong and intimidating. The standard of living, overall, has been better than ever. Of course, some live much better than others. The Russian elite's obsession with the Porsche Cayenne is a great example of one side of the economic chasm that divides Russia.
