Most of Russia's income comes from selling hydrocarbons, and I don't think any private individual's taxes can make a substantial dent in that. I mean, Russia is expected to make over $110bn next year selling hydrocarbons. How much one programmer's income taxes can change in that? Of course it matters as a question of personal conscience, but one has also to understand if you look at the overall numbers, it wouldn't change anything.
