Marco??? Polo....... Marco???? Polo...... Globe Trotting for Imports

There is nothing new with this statement:

"There is no shortage of consumer demand in Russia," Dmitry Polevoy, an economist at ING in Moscow told the Dow Jones Newswire. "But this demand appears to be for imports, rather than Russian products."

We always think the grass is greener on the other side of the pasture.  I will give them their due on this point - Mother Russia produces some totally smokin' hot women but they like to torture you a bit under the guise of fragile femininity.
