Because police opens an investigation only if there is a complaint. And the can only handle complaints in Russian.

I heard that it helps to type some words in Russian from time to time, in Cyrillic letters certainly. Some viruses and malware even self-uninstall after that.

People do not realize the true scale of this. It is not just a gang of like ten or twelve people. It is kind of a culture, a weird economy that is rising.

There are not many opportunities for young men and women in those parts due to multiple reasons including sanctions.

These folks have devices that erase a hard disk with an electromagnetic impulse in a second by pressing a button on a remote. They own facade legitimate businesses like hotels, discotheques, etc. Ans so on and so forth.

In my opinion, it would be not less harder to stop it than stopping say drugs production in Latin America. It is probably already bigger than any president.

I would switch to an electric car when the military switches to electric trucks and electric fighting vehicles.

My projects are no less important to me as any military adventure. So I also need a mature reliable technology.

I guess police officers may need this data for future literary and cinemotagraphic projects.

There are often several documentaries and books about one crime, especially if it was solved successfully by a star detective.

It is not possible to write an interesting nonfiction book or to film a documentary if one does not have insights into actors' minds via messages, images, videos, GPS coordinates, etc. There is a lot of money in this industry.

Can a government of Colombia stop cartels' activity effectively? Can President Putin stop ransom hackers?

In a poor country where a policemen or a judge earns couple of hundreds per month it is easier said than done.

These criminal groups get literally millions. They have sophisticated equipment to erase a hard disk in a second with the electromagnetic impulse via a remote control (while it is backed up somewhere else anyway). They have facade businesses like hotels, art galleries, etc. Also professional "sitz-chairmen" who go to prison for a year or two when necessary.

For many aspiring teenagers they are kind of role models since there are almost no other viable economic opportunities.

In my opinion, we should not hold our breath that the hacking stop anytime soon or anything will be off-limit. And instead start to study this phenomena seriously in order to prepare properly.

I know from another story on a local TV that these people use special portable machines which can destroy data on a hard disk by the electromagnetic impulse in one second.

They use if there is even just a knock on the door, as the data is backed up somewhere else.

They also use facade businesses to wash up the money like restaurants, art galleries, etc. I believe it is is not that easy to identify and eliminate these criminal groups. Besides they hold cash, and what it means in a poor country is not hard to imagine.

In my opinion it is like asking the government of Columbia: "Please stop the activity of drug cartels immediately." Obviously, it's easier said than done.

I think the only realistic way to achieve it is the international cooperation and co-develpoment with these lands, so that young people have other opportunities to advance in life.

Probably they have something better and bigger than EU, what may even integrate the EU in future, - The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I know that Russia is participating actively in it. All ten brigades of the Railway troops are working on the BAM, Baikal-Amur Mainline, nowadays. They even plan to bring the volunteer inmates to work there for money.

The EU, in my opinion, is turning into kind of a dormitory area. Not much work there. It is very hard to young people to find job there, and not only to young.

The weakness of German economy is almost total lack of natural resources. The same is about Italy.

These are small countries with the territory of about 300 thousand square kilometers each. All raw material must be bought and imported.

Nowadays the knowledge and technology spread very fast. Before long the production will mole closer to natural resources.

Integration processes go not only in Western Europe and North America, but in the Eurasia too.

The right question would be is what size is the economy of Russia, China, Vietnam, Armenia, and Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belorussia, Laos, Iran Korea, India, and Turkey taken together?

Wait a minute, there was a war between the US and Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The Kingdow of Denmark is one of the largest countries in the world. It's area is more than 2 million(!) square kilometers. Is not it enough?

In China due to some historic cultural tradition there are more young men than young women. Quite a few Chinese men move to the Russian Far East to do business and at the same time to find a spouse, since in Russia there are more women than men for some reason.

There are also a lot of Russians who work and live and China. Here is a video of a Russian boy who knows thousands of Chinese proverbs and idiomatic expressions, which not every Chinese native speaker may know: https://youtu.be/AixTMNCiZR8?t...

If one speaks Russian it is possible to understand Polish after an hour or so of watching TV. For example, the airplane in Russian is pronounced as "samoljot" in Polish "samolot". The word for water is the same "woda", etc.

You may go to Google translate and check it out yourself, - a lot of words are quite recognizable.

I am not sure that if it is true. Sergey Korolyov told him directly that the flight would be dangerous and that he cannot guarantee that everything functions well.

That he may die during the flight, so it was up to him to fly or not to fly. This topic disturbed Korolyov. That is why after Valentina Tereshkova's flight he did not allow other women into space as it was too dangerous.

They had to allow Prince Harry to continue the relationship with Anna Chapman instead of banning her from England.

Probably, she had some connection with an intelligence service but everyone falls short of perfection. Besides it was not something what could not be dealt with.

This is how it ends when one interferes with young people.
