I like watching Sergei Baklykov’s videos of Moscow and St. Petersburg and other parts of Russia. St. Petersburg looks like an awesome city.

One day, I would love to do the Trans-Siberian Trip from Moscow to Vladivostok.

I would think I’m better off in the low-wage countries where my $ goes further, other things being equal.

A dozen or so families (remember there are 330MM people in America) want to move to Russia ...

...and people are acting like a mass exodus has begun? Lyndon LaRouche gets more votes each election.

According to the Federal Law on Weapons, only Russian citizens can own civilian weapons in Russia/foreign nationals are not allowed to own guns. The movers are unlikely Deplorables.

Call me when the number of movers approach 918/the number of people who died in the mass suicide in Johnstown. Until then,

America, in this sense, is a country of victorious minorities. The situation...has developed into a dictatorship . . ."

Doesn't that describe apartheid?

Poland, Czech Republic or perhaps Hungary. But Russia? No way.

30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall it’s fair to ask this question again; who won the cold war? In 1991 I would have said us. Now I say both sides. Ponder that one

They’re all still catching up from 45-50 years under the Nazi and Communist boot.

So there’s the Latin American option. Some people prefer that.

They're farther along the destruction trajectory than we are. Much father in some cases.

I had no idea people were moving there. It would never dawn on me to even think about moving to Russia.

Me.

We moved there last year and I love it!

Wages are low there but I have plenty of American money and an American job. My wife, son, and I are living the good life near the banks of the Volga river and we are never looking back.

The US is now one of the worst tyrannies and police states in the world. China is still worse but Russia is better in terms of religious freedom.

I have a habit of looking at cities that appear in the news, or have some relevance to me, and spending some time “driving” through them on Google street-view.

Russian cities are all large and spacious, they have a lot of green space, much of the architecture is ugly/Soviet, and they are absolutely clean and well-ordered. Not a spec of garbage or detritus to be found

Both sides won the Cold War. We are what they were and it appears as if they are like we were

Pure BS. Russians here are trying to get their families out.

That is an extraordinary revelation!
