Speaking of progress...Not.

Putin recently visited Tuva, a region in Siberia, but for some reason he didn’t visit the local attraction – the railway.

The first spike was ceremoniously driven into the roadbed by himself 13 years ago.

And today it looks exactly the same as it did 13 years ago.

What better symbol of Putin's russia than these few metres of rail track going from nowhere to nowhere in the middle of nowhere?
