This is NOT what Gorbachev and Yeltsin had in mind

In today's Washington Post - a Siberian working man gets sent to prison for getting hit by the regional governor's car. The story is right out of the bad old days in the Soviet Union. Check the estimated speed of the governor's car - somewhere between 90 and 125 mph.

And yet, somehow it's the poor slob who happened to be in the way's fault.

The more things change in Russia, the more they stay the same.
