Having been to Russia (not Moscow- the real Russia that lies in the many time zones to the east) I can say

What's the real Russia? Moscow is 10% of the population. That's like saying: having been to the real America: West Virginia, Arkansas and Mississippi.

And saying that Moscow's 10% of the Russian population represents Russia is like saying the visiting NYC and LA will give someone a true overview of America. I'm saying that what goes on in the vast remote areas of Russia, in probably a hundred thousand villages and towns, is so appalling .... that there is no way I can take this optimistic article seriously.

Hey! I'm in West Virginia! Seems real here.

By the way, we'll be going to Russia again in June. Anything I can pick up for you? |8-)
