Farce Kapital

Besides being a lot of other things, the Russians are incredibly predictible people. Maybe it is the result of the whole Communism shit which is in any case only a foil to the probably entirely-mafia-controlled country, but the fact remains that the average russian knows when he wakes up in the morning, how his day, week, i daresay even lifetime is going to unfold. And the average russian's neighbour also knows how the average russian's day, week and lifetime is going to unfold because the average russian's neighbour's day, week and lifetime is going to unfold in an identical manner. No, that is not confusing. The russians strive to avoid any sort of confusion (maybe that's what inspired Mr. Marx) and even that leads to the predictibility factor. Perhaps that is the reason why they carry their passports like we carry our backs.

So if you look at the face of it, there is no confusion, no uncertainty (because uncertainty is just too certain for them to qualify as uncertain any more), no problem. There are, however, undercurrents. And underneath those, there is a volcano of chaos. Only a matter of time...

Meanwhile,every russian, including Mikhail Gorbachav, the man behind the thawing of the cold war, knows the exact spot where Mikhail Gorbachov will be buried when he dies.
