Prominent singer-songwriter A. Rozenbaum, referencing russian classic writers Karamzin and Saltykov-Shedrin, once said:

If you put me to sleep and wake me up in a hundred of years, and then ask me, what’s going on in Russia, I’d say: drinking and stealing.

Another misquoted quote that’s probably invented by a comic Zadornov, but never losing it’s relevance, says:

Russia has two problems: them fools and them roads.

and some journalist add money, as they all start with D.

I find these predictions and writings, including those in time capsules, fascinating. Some of them either are too correct, or thinking too nice of us.
