Russia has clearly taken giant steps in the wrong direction, at a time when China has taken steps, however small, in the right direction. When you meet today’s “new Russian Nomenklatura,” you experience a sudden feeling of being 20 years younger, awash as they are in nostalgia for Cold War posturing.
很明显，俄罗斯在朝着错误的方向迈着大步，而中国，别管步子有多小，却在这个时候朝着正确的方向迈进。今天，当你目睹“新俄罗斯干部私有化”的时候，仿佛又回到了20年前，和他们一样再次沉浸于对冷战时局的怀旧氛围中。
