Russian Air Show shows disorganization of the state

Over the past ten years, the Kremlin has sent some of the windfall from oil sales to the Aircraft industry, hoping to reduce the economy's dependence on raw materials by going to the technological model, and show the Russian force in the world. On Wednesday at MAKS Prime Minister Vladimir Putin inspected the latest Russian news, such as fifth-generation fighter T-50 medium-range aircraft "Sukhoi Superjet-100". Ironically, the air show was a reminder of how history repeats itself. On the show became very clear economic model that Putin chose a period of ten years in power: huge corporation to absorb small market players, breaking the competition and promoting unproductive. In just a few minutes after Putin praised the great progress in the Russian aviation industry, the MiG-29 was forced to stop his speech due to technical difficulties. Less than a day the Russian news agency "Roskosmos" has reported that lost contact with a large telecommunications satellite "Express-AM-4", just a few hours after launch. Air show for the audience was a reminder of an under-developed infrastructure and a general disorganization of Russia. The distance from Moscow to the place of the air show – 35 miles, but the trip takes 2.5 hours by public transport. Get in a car is no better. Moscow traffic police is shining in their white forms, but she forgets about his work on traffic control, which leads to the formation of huge traffic jams. This year, organizers anticipated shortage of parking spaces, but instead to provide additional, they decided to tackle the problem by charging 2700 rubles per seat. Bypassing all the 12 halls with hundreds of exhibits of companies is also a difficult task. The organizers have not provided any information about where the company that is located, and when the question was asked at a kiosk information, ignorant girl offered to buy the program salon for 700 rubles. And, of course, the eternal problem of Russia: they forgot about the toilets! None of the airshow map does not show a single toilet, and after a 20-minute search found only one portable toilet – of course, no toilet paper. Maybe some of those billions of dollars that are directed at developing high-tech state corporations aircraft can also be used to provide basic services to the audience: public transport, tolerable roads, parking lots and toilets.
