One interesting passage:
“Excluding small Caribbean nations with resident billionaires, wealth inequality in Russia is the highest in the world,” the report said. “Worldwide, billionaires collectively account for less than 2% of total household wealth; in Russia today, around 100 billionaires own 30% of all personal assets.”
It is figures like this that, activists say, have attracted young Russians to socialist groups. Young left-wingers have been among the main movers in the unprecedented protests against the almost 13-year-rule of President Vladimir Putin, bucking an over-two-decade long trend that had seen unreformed, elderly Soviet-era communists as almost the sole champions of socialist causes. “Young people have almost no chance to buy affordable housing and bring up a family normally. There is almost no opportunity for people to climb the social ladder, especially for those who are not from Moscow,” said activist Sergei Fomchenkov, 38, a leading member of the Other Russia movement.

I posted an article for discussion. There are many facts contained therein, which you choose to ignore, instead spending your energies on trying to discredit the sources by name-calling and fallacious innuendo. I'm sorry if it's uncomfortable for you, surely there are others who might find it of interest.

I sense an opportunity to swoop in with the Patented Wiki Finger of Truth.
By the Gini coefficient determined by the Central Intelligence Agency, wealth in Russia is more equitable than the United States. How's that for a mind bender?

Wake up and sing - two of the three biggest parties are socialist. And the UR is social-conservative - at least partially socialist.
