"STEAL!" - this eternal answer of Karamzin to the question of how things are in Russia has not become obsolete over the past centuries - if anything has changed, then only the scale of corruption: bribe takers of the XIX century the appetites of current officials did not dream even in the sweetest dreams! And we are still wondering why the hopes of the great D.I. Mendeleev, who predicted that by the beginning of the new millennium 400 million Russians will be prosperous in Russia and that we will become the leading power in the world. However, instead of unprecedented prosperity, our Motherland has experienced two national disasters - 1917 and 1991 - and is now on the verge of a third. Who is to blame for all these tragedies? Who caused so many misfortunes to fall on our heads that would be enough for ten nations? Why do all great hopes turn into terrible disappointment, and grandiose undertakings turn into a shameful fiasco? Yes, because Russia fell under the rule of the lower race, whose crimes this book is investigating!
