What you describe is a half-truth designed to deceive, whether it is the readers or just yourself you are trying to deceive. Take your example about building permits for construction, yes, the Democrats in the United States just love to use building permits to shakedown property owners bribes and favors or just to harass them. Only it is worse in Russia when you are not among the privileged people enjoying the patronage of the state officials. I know of one example right here in the united States, where some of those immigrants from that region remodeled a house by bribing the Democrat building inspector and then used their freedom to build as they like by moving load bearing walls away from their foundation supports. After bankrupting twice, the mess was sold at a bankruptcy auction and the new owners had to tear out all of this dangerously fouled up construction and rebuild the load bearign structures over the foundations again.
Now, I realize you are here to disseminate false propaganda and are not interested in acknowledging anything your opponents have to say, but the readers of the thread may find the following link more informative than your disinformation.

They had ten year olds who spoke perfect English when I was in Russia, btw. This country badly needs a wake up call. You're probably so immersed in all the bureaucratic requirements here that you don't even realize it. I had to live over there to start getting it.
And I don't want to live there, nor do I think Putin is some angel - though I think Ted Cruz could be one. I know they have a lot of corruption but they also have a wonderful lack of oversight by government that I think we used to have here.
