>It's Russia we're talking about. In Russia, the default mode of answering any complaint is "it's your own fault, we're not responsible, go away". a related joke from USSR times. A foreigner from a civilized West country walking on a Moscow street falls into an open unmarked unattended trench. When people help him get out, he is furious - "How come the trench isn't fenced with say a rope with red markers?!" and gets response "Crossing the border coming into USSR you did see the red flags at the entry point, didn't you?"
