However, I've never heard of anyone looking into how the benefits are handled in terms of taxes, it's a very interesting question. Also interesting is whether state-controlled media covers these repeated losses and if so how.<BR/><BR/>-- KimLa Russophobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672264388217953086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-45257855601947696582007-07-30T04:50:00.000-04:002007-07-30T04:50:00.000-04:00This is a question rather than a comment per se.Do...This is a question rather than a comment per se.<BR/><BR/>Does anyone know if the Russian authorities actually pay the compensations they are ordered to pay by this and other courts? And if they do pay, do they do this properly, or do they do it soviet-style and subject the payment to 99% (or 120%) income tax?<BR/><BR/>I have never seen a follow-up on the aftermath of these court cases in any newspaper or magazine.<BR/><BR/>I would be most surprised if the Russian authorities act correctly after losing such cases. I could be wrong though and would simply like to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-56102498587035671232007-07-30T01:34:00.000-04:002007-07-30T01:34:00.000-04:00This absolutely makes my sick.

Since the reunification with Russia I am almost ashamed to be associated with them. I've considered leaving the Church. I'm glad I found your blog, I will continue to read your posts.
