One still needs to know people in power to make things work. This is why they maintain more friendships than an average westerner.
They often have to rely on their friends to help them out. You know someone who knows someone who is in power; this is the way they have the things done.

Russia is quite a tough country and Russians usually do not hesitate to say what they think in a way that doesn’t leave room for any misunderstandings.
