Finance magazine published the rating of Russia’s richest men for 2008. The first list of Russia’s richest people appeared in 2004. The name of the person topping the list has been changing every now and then. The number of dollar billionaires has increased four times in Russia over just several years.
Many times we see people that have money, either a movie star, or the creator of a successful business, and never do anything to benefit people in need. With this new billionaire in russia lets see if he will help his country in the time of need or not.

Great idea, this blog, and nicely made as well. I put it under my favorites. What do you have to say to what happened with KosovO?
Mark,
Thank you for the compliment on the blog. I hope when you check back we will continue to have current events and posts that peak your interests.
As far as Kosovo is concerned the blog has a few posts leading up to the declaration of independence and one right after (they are all labeled if you want to find them easily). As an American student I do not have as much interest in Kosovo as do European countries, the US's main problem right now lies in Iraq. As far as a Russian perspective, they do not seem to like it. They are definitely angry with Kosovo for declaring independence, and probably mad at the US for backing it. Russia's closeness with Serbia puts them in a volatile situation with this secession. It will definitely be interesting to see if Russia’s opinion on the situation change after the upcoming election, but I highly doubt it will.
