One sunny sping day, somewhen in 1989 an american tourist, who
happened to be an attorney, was walking along a Moscow street.
Because it was the period of 'Perestroika' (which literally means
'remodelling'), so that a lot of construction was going on in
Moscow, dozens of holes and trenches were open on the street. He
felt into one of them, broke his leg, ended up in a hospital and
complaining: "In my country if a construction firm would not place
little red flags around the construction zone to warn passers-by
about the danger, I will sue em for their negligence!" The doctor,
who was performing surgery on his leg replied to him: "Did not you
see one big red flag above the whole country at the first time?"
