[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7435691, member: 44728"] There was a British guy who wrote articles for FW (Talking Point?) who managed a farm in Russia, not far from Sochi. IIRC his name is Robin Jewer. I was fortunate to be asked to have supper with him and several other farmers one evening for a no holds barred chat about his experiences. My abiding memory of the whole evening was learning about the unbelievable amount of theft, bribery and corruption involved. Everything was paid for in cash. Credit did not exist. When Robin rebelled against it all, he was put on the next aeroplane home and told in no uncertain terms that if he returned he would be shot! [/QUOTE]
