Thought this thread is more suited for this board, than Jow Forums.
I’ve been born in Moscow, lived for 6 years in Switzerland and visited many places on Earth, from Dominican Republic to Indonesia.
Here’s view from my flat in Moscow. Ask me anything you are interested in.
Have you ever eaten a burrito?
Oh ffs, this is why I hate IPhones
You won't fool me this time, damn aussie
>Ask me anything
Why are you using iPhone?
Yes. Several times in US, once made by American in Switzerland and once in Russia.
Gotta give it to US , that you can ask various fillings to be put in.
Looks peaceful
Because I’ve got it for free. It’s an old one thoug( and starts to malfunction), so I will probably buy something else soon. Suggestions?
Look up Xiaomi, they're pretty cheap while having reasonable specs
Imo Sony, Sony is great company but expensive
Thanks for fixing it.
As far as I’ve heard, phones like Xiaomi and Meiji are actually getting more and more expensive( totally not because of the sanctions). I will definitely look it up.
This will soon be an illegal device to own
Any opinions on my country if you've ever been in it?
Favorite type of pornography?
Will be back in 5 minutes, gotta switch from phone to laptop. Here is photo of my Great-grand-father as bump. Hope it won’t turn upside down again.
fuck you pidoras
go back to vk
This is not 2ch.hk , so gtfo.
>This will soon be an illegal device to own
Why?
I dont think that this thing on power9 is illegal, therefore I think that a smartphone should be legal
raptorcs.com
Because people might use the encryption to do naughty things that law enforcement won't able to see
Well, then the smartphone can be legal without pre-installed "illegal" packages
Back on laptop.
I wouldnt say I'm into anything special, but buttplay was always among my favorites.
Funnily enough, I haven't been to most of the countries in baltic/eastern bloc. I've met several serbians and they were awesome. Planning to visit Czekh and then your country.
Bump
Noice, is that in your town?
Are you old enough to remember Soviet Union and Boris Yeltsin?
That's Montreux, Switzerland. One of the most beautfiul sunsets/sunrises in my entire life.
Too young to remember Soviets, too old not to Remember Yeltsin( although bit vaguely). Still remember his last speech.
Ah right, do you travel often then?
What's your thoughts on ussr as a state although you Haven't lived there?
Do communists still have any sizeable power or did they mostly die out?
your great grandpa was a handsome man.
whats your opinion on the tzars/imperial russia?
Depends. Some year it maybe 6-8 trips, some one, some none. Sometimes I travel for a job.
Neutral. I've heard a lot of bad and good things about USSR. My family has both suffered and gained from living under Lenin, Stalin and other leaders. Sadly, since I never experienced anything of such myself, I choose to not form a proper positive/negative opinion and istead look at USSR from historical point of view.
Real commies are ghosts of the past. The current party is a joke and is supported by weak, poor people.
Are you a rich child from an oligarch in russia?
How were you able to afford it?
that looks so comfy i wanna live there
My fatther has imperialist beliefs, and I sort of opposed them since my childhood. Now, however, I'm more neutral to that. I'd say that Imperialist Russia had certainly better standards of life( at least for mid-upper classes, which my family belonged to) and being more opened to the West was in my opinion a good thing. Sure, there were problems, but compared to Soviets killing a shitton of people or putting them in Gulags/sending them to Central Asia/Siberia(Russian-Germans suffered a lot there) it was nothing.
I'm not, however, denouncing any technological progress that was achieved during USSR.
I'm not. I could say that my family belongs to an almost non-existant mid-upper class.
As to how I managed to stay in Switzerland, is that my parents gave me a choice of studying in any country, I chose that place. They gave me initial funds to rent a small apartment, and from then on, I just found a job, moved in with my co-students, and lived there for rest of time spent.
I would also add, that being raised without any prejudice towards other nations kinda helped.
I can agree but in soviet Russia average level of life increase in comparison with imperialistic Russia . Are you new here?
Here’s another photo from family album. This time , my great-grandmother.
>Great company
Look at how they treat their console fans.
Not going to argue that.The Bolsheviks "sanitary legislation" as well as creation of health resorts and Semashko system did improve those. Just saying that it didn't really affect my family. Am new to Jow Forums? or boards in general? Not really. I usually stay read-only, though.
I did own Sony Ericssons , and my first smartphone was Xperia. Didn't like it, though.
Better than you, Microsoft
I had Xperia p and it's still working fine! What do you say about modern technology imo they stuck in advancing because of greedy companies they don't want to make technology only money and advance it only when it will profit
I can certainly agree with that. The way current corporations are built is that they do not want to move humanity into the future, they want( or rather need) to get money for their shareholders. Otherwise they might straight-up fail. It is, however a tendency, not only in technologies, but pretty much any industry, be it medicine, or entertainment. I still own fully-operating Grundig Cityboy 10 from 1988, which is a nice example, how great any electronic devices were made not so long ago.
But it is not only the greed of shareholders, it is the consumerism of buyers to blame. It became a need to own something, to buy something because it's "cool". Owning an Iphone in Russia meant you're one of those "high-status,rich boys" just couple of years ago, despite everyone in Europe and US could afford one with ease. And companies answer those needs of the buyer just by making more of the same , but "shinier".
>wanting spyware on your phone
go back
To where?
Obviously you re-flash it.
Here's another view on Geneva lake, from the top of building, where my apartment was.
And the famous mountains, obviously.
Christ that's beautiful
Yeah, if there is some reason one need to go to Schweiz, is to check out the views. Don't get me wrong, Russia has some extremely nice-looking places, but you need to know people, who are: 1) aware of those places 2) have access to them. Going in blind and traveling around Russia is, while surely fulfilling, stressful experience.

Here's picture of my grandparents Post- WWII( or Great Patriotic War, to be precise).
Oops, here it is.
And here's them enjoying their free time, with my aunt and dad( he's barely visibly behind GD's arm)
Bump
And another one.
Last one.
