Guys, come on, don't you follow the news? Putin "won" elections 12 days ago. No free speech and no free economy in Russia again.

Oleg developed original Il-2 in a free country and that made a difference.

I have no idea how it affects business apart from a broad-based knowledge that it cannot be good for it. But I have to admit I had a good chuckle at one report of the election. Here's an extract describing one polling station result:

"The final tally: Putin, 1,482 votes; Gennady A. Zyuganov, the Communist Party leader, one vote.

This result was in itself statistically improbable. But even more difficult...to explain was the turnout: there were only 1,389 people registered in the precinct, meaning that the turnout was 107 percent."

I would love to discuss politics, but I'm not convinced this is the place to do it.

About the election results should have any influence on our Sim in the future, or any patch I can not predict. But I hope that the Russian people will be led in a way, with positive actions that benefit them all and all others in the rest of the world.

Anyway they changed their mind about Friday updates only recently, if we look at a Sukhoi message of few days ago:

>>>B6: Plans for this work week (12.03-16.03):
1) engaged in the transfer of all incoming offers of assistance and cooperation 2) generate a list of number 4 of your wishes and requests - done 3) generate a list of number 4 with your questions - ongoing 4) prepare regular Friday update - ongoing.<<<<

It looks to me that B6 is really p***-off and needs some more rest.
