Filled in February 2015 and ruled in September 2015? Russian justice is very fast, and the results are really shocking and surprising

This is a country whose justice system has a 99% conviction rate, and explains that this is a testament to their exemplary investigational work.

the main theme in Russia today is "replacing of imported goods and services with domestic ones". The strategy consists of 3 stages:

1. prohibit, bash, etc... foreign goods and services

2. ...

3. enjoy quality replacement by domestic manufacturers and providers.

right now the stage 1 is at full swing.

2. should read ??? because 3. will never happen (see China).
"..." vs. "???" :) well, it is kind of Freudian slip here - i'm a Russian and i understand what is happening there, and "???" would mean at least minimum of constructive approach, like at least recognition of real situation, recognition that there is something unclear yet, whereis in Russian mentality there is no question, there is no constructive thinking ahead, and what we take for "thinking ahead" is actually "dreaming". And that's what i accidentally placed "..." for :)
This seems like a non sequitur. Care to elaborate more on China's current state and how it's analogous to Russia's future?
China has plenty of replacements but they are nowhere near western equivalents in quality.
They have GLONASS.
like many things there, it will do a fine job if the task at hand is putting nuclear missile into Washington, DC.
