Is it really a bleak depressing shithole? And if it really is so bad what can be done to fix it?
How bad is Russia really?
Yeah it's bad
No, it's unfixable. I mean the fixing should've started 20 years ago now it's only going to get shittier. Majority of the population (60-70%) still like putin.
>Is it really a bleak depressing shithole?
No.
>And if it really is so bad what can be done to fix it?
Remove sanctions, then we could talk.
>what can be done to fix it?
Put it back under a totalitarian regime. Eastern slavs don’t do well with liberty, at least not in their current state.
>Eastern slavs don’t do well with liberty
Ah yes, Captain Corn. Did he ever encounter a hairbrained scheme to improve Soviet agriculture he didn't like?
No bully
I think it's like either you're dirt poor or richer than most of europeans
Khrushchev seemed to have a strange predilection for phallic objects such as corn and rockets. I mean, this is some Freud shit here.
It's bad, but not that bad, and we have our potential. Our demography is better than any other slavic country, we have more resources, territory and influence, some fine minds. We just need some leaders who want to make our state a normal capitalist country.
Yeah, i want someone like Pinochet.
Then again, after him you just had Brezhnev who believed in doing absolutely nothing and letting the system slowly disintegrate from neglect.
He basically destroyed our agriculture. After him Soviet Union (and Russia) were importing food, including such basic products as grain and meat. That's a shame, because Russia had always been an agricultural country.
Commies will truly find a way to make a shortage of sand even in desert.
>Majority of the population (60-70%) still like putin.
What problem? People like what they want like - it's democracy.
Been to Moscow in April, everything was bretty good
It's getting better
Moscow, especially is center, is quite different from other parts of Russia.
That's why Moscowians think that they can look down on us. Stipid fags. That's why i've decided to move to Petersburg, not to Moscow.
well, people from wealthier areas look down on poorfags, it's a common thing
Liberashka Petersburg ist Russians fag capital
>it's democracy.
Yeah... democracy.
>And if it really is so bad what can be done to fix it?
Another decade or two of Putin.
Pls no
And they've been cleaning up a lot of the old shit for the World Cup
Pls yes.
Niet
Yes. Liberashkas can move to some other country if they don't like Putin.
>Liberashkas
What if I'm... you know... don't support mr analniy?
Then not everything is lost for you.
