but Russia is a capitalist country now

I thought that abandoning communism was supposed to solve that particular economical problem?

"The markets are free, so much money for me, tell me why should I care for peace and love?"

Besides that, former party loyalty is oh so easy to turn into corruption under capitalism. Ain't no different than any other 'old boys network', just more widely spread.
The 48% of the people evading taxes are just following example set by history and the elite.

Cash-in-hand economy will always exist so long as nobody is getting punished badly for doing it. I've done work without paying tax on it before, and I'm pretty sure most others have too. It's up to the tax man to chase it down and get his share, just like it's up to the police to catch insider trading or other white collar crimes.

...I guess no one has anything to say about half of all Russians working in the shadow economy? Is that "business as usual"?
I thought that was the Russian economy

You know your property's pretty damn big when you need a map of the whole country to show it's size.

Heavy double bomb attack in Istanbul. Shockwave could be felt for half a mile or more. One car bomb blew up a police van near a football stadium, another went off near a football stadium, another went off near the Taksim square. At least 13 dead, donzens of wounded. More dead expected. Media silence now in Turkey.

Death toll is up to 38. Another 155 wounded. According to vice-premier Numan Kurtulmus, PKK is behind the attacks.

Apparently the blast was targeting police protecting the stadium (At least 30 of the 38 deads were policemen), so it fits with the PKK modus operandi. Some splinter group of the PKK claimed responsability.

Meanwhile, Putin will be visiting Japan coming thursday. Japan hopes that a peace treaty between Japan and Russia can be signed.

Well, if history tells us anything, there will be 21 years gap between WW2 and WW3.
Peace treaty signed just in time for WW3. :D

World War Three was in 1966, bang on time, when we attacked Venus with Venera 3. I don't know how that conflict went/is going. The Mekon is a subtle amd patient enemy, at times.
