    You gotta love Babelfish's translations of the text from that article:

    RECONSTRUCTION of our economy begins from reconstruction of personal dachas "- wrote" Argumenty i fakty magazine "in the distant 1994. Then they only began to be constructed. How much water flowed away since then, how many foundations became palaces! And how often we wrote about the dachas! They penetrated for the concrete fences, pretended themselves by buyers and salesmen, even they poked by unskilled workers. This time "Argumenty i fakty magazine" it decided to rise into air in order to glance at the peace from the height of bird flight. Once above these fields and by forests already flew Mr. of the repairings, when he was the leader of the State Tax Service of the Russian Federation. You do remember? It conducted aerial photography and revealed on the map of the Moscow area 70 thousand new objects. It passed several years - repairings it had time to build its own dacha and to leave further on the career stairs. they arrived by others. And already new ministers raise to themselves cottages. Here in the past year the ministry of natural resources revealed in the territory of Moscow region of the 5-6 additional thousand structures, about which the state did not suspect. But can, to state it is necessary not from the domestic dachas and the cottages to begin, but from the foreign. Built to the exported money. What did change in the past 10 years? First of all money, fantasy and taste in the owners of dachas became more. However, then that we saw, dachas you will no longer name. This is even out-of-town real estate. These are often natural estates - luxurious houses with the columns, the ponds, the winter gardens with the tropical plants. Next are located all necessary services, garages, accomodations for the protection and houses for the guests. All this can be seen, having only risen into the sky. On the earth the owners of dachas have the concrete fences, which to in time break only by the tank (see "Argumenty i fakty magazine" № 23, 2005). And many have the same concrete souls. The owner of "fazendy" never will understand her new Russian neighbors. As he will not understand, from where are taken such den'zhishchi, although we all are the citizens of one country. "Russians, you understand". In one Moscow settlement they recently opened electricity for the nonpayment. But they paid. Three elegant houses simply next built, connected to the common counter and ate entire limit of kilowatt-hours. So stuck also to our country some citizens, drinking from it juices, pumping out abroad, lubricating them for our calculation. But the rest, are more precise, which were remained here, in Russia, on their native land, the people pay taxes, they economize electricity, are gathered their small houses and fences from what it is necessary. They plant potato. And thus far this is their entire topographical design.
    Heh: "And how often we wrote about the dachas! They penetrated for the concrete fences, pretended themselves by buyers and salesmen, even they poked by unskilled workers. "

    F'ing unskilled workers are always poking things...

    Do you mean architecture in America or do you mean American architects' work?
