Tres intéressant ! Il existe une solution, qui est train d’advenir : la ruine de l’Etat russe, comme en 1991 avec la ruine de l’URSS, qui a conduit à son effondrement. Poutine aura bientôt épuisé son Fonds des Richesses Nationales de Russie, car la guerre lui coute 10 milliards de dollars par mois. Le taux d’interet de base est de 21 % en Russie et l’inflation reelle depasse les 25% (9% officiellement). Et la Russie ne peut pas emprunter à l’étranger. Donc, l’Etat russe ne pourra bientôt plus payer les retraités , les fonctionnaires et les soldats. Le seul avenir possible serait une véritable fédération, avec huit régions autonomes, et sans doute l’indépendance des républiques musulmanes du Caucase. En tout cas, le rouble s’effondre déjà. La Russie va devenir un pays sous-developpe pauvre.

For woman is more easy to find someone than man. If woman can't find man it means her criteria is high, but man it's not case, maybe he is poor, or weak, or doesn't know to talk and approach to women.

This is simple, stupid: the majority of Russians are slaves deep down. Freedom is not exactly a thing that worth fighting for from their perspective. Besides, a very large portion of Russian population are hereditary alcoholics for generations. This is not exaggeration, you will have hard time to even imaging the scale of alcoholism over there. This is inevitably leads to mental degradation of vast quantity of inhabitants. That kind of population is very easy to manipulate. Don't be fooled by Moscow or St. Petersburg population: they absorb normal people from overall mentally damaged Russia.

I read War and Peace in my American high school many years ago. And even saw the Soviet movie production with actress Savilyeva (?) as Natasha Rostova in New York. Thank you for explaining it all in 10 minutes!

The only way Russia can survive is with a strong central government. Otherwise all the seperate curtural langusge groups will go their own way. The only way the people of the Ural mountains and to the east can remain in the modern world is the Trans Siberian railroad. Otherwise they would starve and or revert to the dark ages. The Yeltsin starvation years soured the people on "democracy."

You're right. Russia as an empire can only survive with a strong central government.

Hia, I'm an American and I believe your country is justified in self-preservation based on the broken promises of Western leaders (regarding the spread of NATO) and the Maidan coup in 2014. I'm tired of my country pulling regime changes and creating chaos around the world so we can suck up other countries' recourses. I wish everyone anywhere without power or control over their situation to be as happy and safe as possible. Between my government and Israel, I'm truly disgusted with their actions.

The simple reason is that the Russian people, as a people, have never developed the personal, familial, social, cultural or political traditions necessary to live any other way. And as we in the West, Americans particularly, have discovered so painfully and at such a high cost in blood and treasure in recent years, the ideals and values that seem to come so easily to us cannot be simply transplanted, it takes centuries to inculcate the personal, familial, social, cultural and political traditions of democracy. In my opinion in a culture that valorizes cruelty it cannot be done. It is instructive that the introduction of Christianity in the are of Russia in about the year 1000 has apparently done little to change this fact, which seems surprising to Christians in the West. Even in the United States it took a blood civil war that killed one third of the men of military age of one benighted subculture of Americans and a hundred years of reconstruction and resistance after that to finally break them of the desire to enslave somebody else. The example I always like to use is that of Barley Blair, the bookish English protagonist in John Le Carré's spy novel The Russia House. I don't read spy novels but I did at one time go to watch Sean Connery movies; in the movie version you hear Sean Connery's portrayal of Barley Blair saying something like: 'I believe in my Russians, not yours,' in an argument with his MI-6 handler about the nature of the soul of the Russian adversary. It seem to be true that there is a moiety of the Russian soul that looks Westward towards a more humanistic Europe and moiety that looks East to a more Asian cruelty. As I see it, history has revealed that the Russian soul only looks Westward a quarter or a third of the time, but two-third to three-quarters East. My opinion based on the reading of the history and their literature. So why have two or three Russian novelists written about half of the greatest novels ever written? It probably has something to do with the psychological tension created by the negative imbalance of the tension in their eastward-westward spiritual divide. I'll leave you with this though from Gogol's 'Dead Souls,' you can murder me in the comments. "Russia, where are you hurtling to? Give an answer! There is no answer. The bell peals with a wonderful ringing; the air, ripped to pieces, roars and becomes wind; everything that exists on earth flies past, and other nations and empires look askance and stand back to make way for the troika"

I'm sorry that the first Americans you met were missionaries. We also have people who listen, as well as talk.

It was a very interesting experience, and missionaries are usually the brave souls to venture into unknown territories, so it's not surprising that I met them.

Correction: Gorky was not a closed city because of military industry factories, but because of pervasive paranoia of soviet leadership and obsession to control the populace to prevent any type of upheaval. Almost all of the USSR was closed and 'military objects' were just an excuse. That was a horrible anti-human system.
