During the siege of Leningrad, 12 scientists starved to death rather than eat the grains stored at Pavlosk Agricultural Station, the world’s first seed bank. According to an AP story, their efforts to save the seeds for future generations may now be in vain after a Russian court approved plans to raze the station’s fields of plants so a developer can build luxury homes.

Ungrateful bastards. Well, at least there are other seed banks.

So that he can then sell them to the highest bidder. Again.
Really, it's a pretty awesome trick--using major industries and utilities as a renewable cash cow.

A mere formality. Medvedev is Putin's bitch. ALL. DAY. LONG.

That's not a as powerful though, and he no longer has the final say.
