Dystopia is Russian past. In a lot of ways it is so much more free country than the US. Imagine no tax on private software development as a business. This is what Russia have!

This is plain incorrect. Software development (all-Russian classifier of types of economic activities code 72.20) is taxed here, just as any other business. /offtopic

You just do not follow the recent changes. You can get 2 years no tax on 72.20 in many regions of Russia. http://ip-spravka.ru/nalogovye-kanikuly-dlya-ip-2015

Holy shit! From this year at St. Petersburg for 72.20 you have 0% tax for 5 years for new entrepreneurs!
