How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?

Any form of dissent is crushed immediately, and anyone even suspected of badmouthing the government is rounded up, thrown in prison and/or becomes the victim of an “accident”.

Russia is a closed, autocratic regime controlled by a strongman and the wealthy few.

Food for thought.

Undercover cops in New York are riding the subways with iPods on to entice robbery. Is that a form of entrapment? If not, why not?

And, the regime has complete control of the media, so when an uprising or other occurrence they deem inappropriate occurs, they squash coverage of it and replace it with their propaganda.

Witness the fate of Alexie Navalny.

Does any of this sound familiar, America?

How do K-dramas like Cinderella at 2AM continue to captivate audiences with their blend of fantasy and romance?
