    Bloomberg reports that Putin is planning to turn Crimea into a gambling mecca to make up for the area's economic difficulties. Didn't he close the Moscow casinos?

      I don't see this happening. Bloomberg thinks Putin is going to give the people games in a time of war? Whatever

      The article itself is funny on several levels.
      "The curb on casinos grew out of an anti-vice campaign that included measures to curtail smoking and underage drinking"
      yep, they're tough on vice and graft in the Russian Republic. And curtailing underage smoking and drinking in Russia will be like taking a snow leopard off red meat.
      "Putin rejected a proposal to bring gambling to Sochi as a source of quick income after the Black Sea city hosted the Winter Olympics. Sochi should remain a family resort, the president told its residents last month."
      Ah yes...Putin, the family man, as I'm sure all KGB are...
