"In my brochure "Rebuilding Russia," written in 1990, when the Soviet Union was still standing, I wrote that private ownership of land is essential. It is obvious why. Self-interest. A person takes an interest in his work when he has his own stake. The situation now with private ownership of land is so complex that my answer would take up several pages. You cannot imagine what is going on over there right now! What is being prepared is simply a fire sale. Nothing of Russia will remain. Not even land. Nothing! There will be no farmers--only wage laborers. And crooks, who will own the land."
