The upper middle class of Moscow? Yes. Moscow is better these days than most American cities. My friend, at 21, has a great $600 per month job at a multinational which supports her visa to the USA.
There are ways of getting around the ignorance of the US State Department. Multinationals have the kind of pull that can put the liberal civil servants in their place.
Otherwise, the bullies insult the women. Civil servants are like that. Insecure, going nowhere. The visa application civil servants at one major embassy here in Europe...bragged about how they were avoiding Iraq as an assignment. People to admire, right?
