Residents posted videos showing the ground floor flooded with wastewater and reported a "persistent smell of feces" seeping into apartments on “every floor.”

Mayak’s developer touts the complex as a "symbol of luxurious living" in an ecologically pure area with panoramic water views.

Yes, when you surrender to a multicultural crowd that hates everything, that is schooled in the thought that you must tear it down, of course these animals are the men God gave dominion over the world....

You work with what you have. Since 2000, Russian GDP has gone from 1500 annually to 18000 annually or something like that. Russians are quite happy with the current state of affairs in Russia today.

In the west we are headed to collaspe dying from the 1000s of cuts of multiculturalism’s hatred of success.

Clowns that live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Try a Google image search on "ruins of Detroit" if you want to feel all fuzzy inside.

The results for "tent city Los Angeles"

There is a reason the Russian troops, given the chance are looting toilets and washing machines.

The typical Russian soldier is from outside of St. Petersburg and Moscow, therefore he is poor.

You do not see many people signing up for the Army from St. Petersburg and Metro area.

The Surfside building was much older, built in the early 1980s, but shares the same problem of deferred maintenance.

Sadly the Surfside HOA chose not to make the necessary repairs due to cost.

“On June 24, 2021, the same day as the accident, a lawsuit was filed in Miami Dade Circuit Court by a resident of the building against the Champlain Towers South Condominium Association, seeking $5 million in damages “due to defendant’s acts and omissions and their failure to properly protect the lives and property of plaintiff and class members”

This is a recently built building...
Famous Russian tale, they pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.

—“Why You MUST Leave The West And Move to Moscow!”

Not to worry, Kazan is a large city about 500 miles from Moscow.

He cannot move because he cannot afford the Moscow prices.

And is unwilling to go for that Army signing bonus, nobody lives forever.

But the energy and natural resources sectors advanced smartly. And yet, Russia did not gain much if anything.

Oligarchs, many of them dual citizens, siphoned the money out of Russia.

Russian roads outside of Moscow/Petersburg show otherwise.

The Nazis found that out the hard way in 1942, when they couldn't get their tanks to move because of all the mud.

There is communist about Russia.

Only dishonest or ignorant numbskull would claim that.

Communist countries don't embrace 13% flat tax rates nor do they spent billions building churches.

Rent a brain.

Russia is freer than we are under Biden.

And, I don't give a damn what it takes to force you to care more about our many problems, our political prisoners and our corrupt criminal justice system.

—”You do not see many people signing up for the Army from St. Petersburg and Metro area.”

Putin has publicly stated that Russian society needs to be “cleaned up”.
Non pur sang Russians are not valued also it would not look good to have so many funerals in the Moscow/St Petersberg area.

A sad story was posted here on FR.
A Russian pressgang was corralling all adult males in the hinterlands. The regional president was on the local TV, screaming who will harvest our crops? He was visibly crushed!

Close, but not correct.

It was a bunch of turds stealing the toilets.

Russia hasn’t taken in riffraff from all over the planet. See Sweden or any US city for effects.

All the Russian propagandists show you the two potemkin villages aka Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Yeah it's beautiful there. Now let's see the rest of Russia.
