The funniest thing you see in Russia are the old Soviet concrete block apartment houses. Funny because Russia is REALLY BIG. Like thousands of miles of uninterrupted forest, with maybe a town or two every couple hundred miles or so.
I noticed that too. Russia has that “big country” feel like the US. I don’t get that feeling in western Europe. Although, the apartments are more like 20 stories in places like Moscow. Just leaving the airports of some Russian cities you enter large seemingly primordial forests before you arrive in the city the airport serves. Development can be wacky there. Probably a lot of that has to do to with corruption.
Yeah. The road from Domodedovo is definitely like that. Sheremetyvo is a bit more urban early on.
The left turn onto the old Domodedovo road is just like said: primordial forest.
And corruption has everything to do with it. Russia is just Mexico with white people. Everything runs on greased palms. That’s actually all they ever fight about...who gets the vig.
