The section about "cost" was eye-opening. Indeed, if you are getting a state organization to do something needed for another, why should money exchange hands anyway, only to be refunded?
Granted, that applied to the Soviet Union, not Russia. Still, how difficult would be to apply that among government agencies nowadays?
[EDIT: Of course, some form of accounting needs to take place, the article is wrong in saying that it is all "free". It is not free, but not actual money needs to be exchanged. ]
