They are actually pretty two faced about that, tourists don't really see it because that's their new oil, but it's there. My parents got a more accurate view living there for a few years. They have strange laws, most accidents are always a tourists fault because you were there in their country, they have eased up on this one more. My parents had their house broken into by locals and basically were told tough shit. If the robbers wouldn't have left when the alarm went off and my dad would of confronted them and hit them with the baseball bat he had to protect them, he would of went to jail because he is a foreigner and they are locals. The locals break into the houses where my dad and mom lived a lot during christmas because it was a compound for the oil company and everyone (foreigners because the locals pretty much don't work and contract all that shit out) usually went home for christmas holidays, but my dad and mom were home that season when it happened. It's a weird place, they allow the tourists a little more freedom because they are greedy sons a bitches. The Russians really fuck with them there. The russian women basically wear nothing and it drives em fucking crazy.
