Russians Still Know to Make Money!

We do not know if Soviet citizens lacked the urge to make money, but there can be no doubt on this score when it comes to today’s Russians!

Indeed, it is such concerns which make WTO officials take part in endless rounds of negotiations. Some people, especially those with steady and salaried jobs, tend to look down on the WTO, for it does not matter to them in real life.
