Why did you have to get racial? The word "looting" can apply to almost any crime including theft on Wall Street, and embezzlement of government funds by oligarchs & politicians. However, you couldn't control your bigotry, so what popped into your mind was some poor black person stealing some television. You sound like an apologist for the elites running Russia today. Then again, with your kind of language, you probably are an elite. And you're wrong if you think a few entrepreneurs are going to solve Russia's economic problems...that's why the country has the problems it has now because a few opportunists & entrepreneurs took advantage of the people & resources of their country. And yes, more working class living wage jobs would be good for Russia. What's the alternative? More poverty and desparation. Seems like you're just asking for another Bolshevik revolution

I'm surprised to see RT publishing an article that shows Putin's regime or Russia at all in a bad light.  However, 1.3 million isn't too bad.  It still needs to be fixed though. 
Keep up the balanced reporting RT! It is much appreciated.
