2 more cents on reading Russian publications (including translated ones):
if you hear a Russian say: "we are planning to do this in three years (or
more)" you have to translate it as: "we are not currently planning any of
this although it sounds cool"


Or alternately, "If somebody walks up and hands us a big mound of cash, this
is what we could do with it."
