"The explosions in Dnipropetrovsk have shown that we need to invest more in the security of our citizens.

PM Azarov is reacting to a symptom but ignoring the cause. At present it is widely believed that the recent explosions were a result of a turf war between rival criminal groups involved in corruption. Therefore, CORRUPTION is the bane that must be dealt with. However, how does a CORRUPT GOVERNMENT deal with a CORRUPT MAFIA when both sides are inter-connected???
