     During the Miss Earth 2012 contest in Manila...Miss Moscow 2011...Natalia Pereverveza blasted Russia.
     She said '...My Russia...it is also my poor, long-suffering country, mercilessly torn to pieces by greedy, dishonest, unbelieving people. My Russia...it is a great artery from which the 'chosen' few people are draining away its wealth. My Russia is a beggar.'
    Her comments, of course...stirred-up debate...but a surprising 90% of Russians appear to agree with her.
