Russia has never been "cosmopolitan". It's always been a 3rd world craphole with a well-deserved inferiority complex.
And never forget the American traitors who sold nukes to Putin's Russia.
On June 19, 1953, Julius died after the first electric shock. Ethel’s execution did not go smoothly. After she was given the normal course of three electric shocks, attendants removed the strapping and other equipment only to have doctors determine that Ethel’s heart was still beating. Two more electric shocks were applied, and at the conclusion eyewitnesses reported that smoke rose from her head.

Wait until their “cosmopolitan” Moscow and St Petersburg offspring are sent to the front.

Putin waxes nostalgic for the days of the old Soviet Union, and it looks like Russia is on the way there: empty shelves, black markets, deprivation and poor quality goods, political prisoners, nonstop propaganda, and nuclear threats.
Congrats, Vladimir. You f*cked up your country, but good.

Sort of like here in America...
empty shelves, black markets, deprivation and poor quality goods, political prisoners, nonstop propaganda, and nuclear threats.

If you can’t have preeminence, demand parity.

Cultural rift?
Surely no one is comparing any city to fecal centers such as Chicago, New York City or San Francisco.

1.7 cents now versus 2.8 cents when Pedo Putin invaded Crimea? That’s not soaring.

Ain’t bad at all for being a “pariah.”

But the ruble is up.
Ha ha ha.
To: LS
In a closed economy, having a soaring currency means nothing.
Open your stock market for a day so foreigners can sell.
Let’s see how well the mighty ruble does on that day.

Kukushkin complained that after Adobe announced that its software would not be available in Russia, he had to find new ways to design his products I don't allow that RAM-sucking garbage from Adobe on my machines...
