He slung verbal Molotov cocktails at a system tainted by gridlock and inefficiency. And he aimed right at Russians' pocketbooks, denouncing the economic reforms that have hiked the price of metro tickets from five kopeks to 30 rubles, pushed middle-income households toward the poverty level and withheld wages from such key constituencies as the coal miners.
