Dmitry Medvedev, the man assured to be elected as Russia's next president on Sunday, has made the battle against corruption a top priority. One of the worst regions affected is Russia's Far East. Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull has been traveling across Russia to find out what problems the new president will face. He reports from the Far Eastern city of Vladivostok. It is a city mired in poverty despite being rich in mineral resources.

Shut up and go fuck yourself in your garbage and super country. Some African countries are even richer than Armenia. The Turks should have killed all of you.

The world today is mostly being ruled by the community not giving the right to a common man to survive even with the basic necessities of life whether making his religion of poverty an issue. The result is before everyone in the form of dis-ease resulting mostly in suicides, involving suicide bombing later on being termed as extremism or terrorism etc. Unless the rule of providing each individual with the basic necessities of life isn't applied the reaction named extremism or terrorism wont end.

The fact that you think it is strange to see a black man or woman running for president illustrates perfectly just how backward your country is. You need to get out of the 19th century.
