NOTE:  The evidence of the total failure of the economic policy of Vladimir Putin that we offer today, ranging from an original translation to a column by Dave Essel to our editorial to a host of reporting from a wide variety of third-party sources, is utterly convincing and irrefutable. Will the people of Russia ever rise up from their coma of sloth and cowardice to demand that their country be turned back from the abyss before it is too late?
