		<description><![CDATA[Moscow, they say, &#8220;wasn&#8217;t built at one go&#8221; — in contrast to St. Petersburg, which emerged laid out, as if by magic, in strict conformity to Peter the Great&#8217;s plan — and it has been growing chaotically for more than 800 years on seven gently sloping hills surrounding the river of the same name.

		<description><![CDATA[In Russia, as in many other countries, one main measure of living conditions is the number of &#8220;squares&#8221; &#8212; square meters &#8212; in a flat. For example, &#8220;normal&#8221; for a modern middle-class nuclear family of two adults with a child is regarded as a flat that consists of three &#8212; preferably separate &#8212; rooms, a [...]]]></description>

Of late, he and his henchmen have demonstrated a sharp stance against dissent and opposition in general.

Soon after, however, these spontaneous activities abruptly stopped, and the subject was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As with other prevalent trends in most European countries, in Russia an ever- increasing share of mothers prefer to combine household activities with work outside their household. Therefore, sound, gender-sensitive employment policies may contribute to the cause of diminishing vulnerability of families with children and of childbirth stimulation more effectively than any system of direct [...]]]></description>
