Да, в России не улыбаются друг другу, но и камня за душой не держат, а в Штатах все такие милые и улыбчивые, но почему-то за пазухой носят оружие. Вот и выбирай из двух зол меньшее)

Да, камня нет, только есть ядерная граната которой угрожаете всему миру

What a hartwarming pufpiece, strange thing, all rich russians go west. Everybody has at least street view and can see how russia looks outside moscow and petersburg centre.

[@PeterK1]

Oh really? If you have street view then maybe you should take a look at how most shithole villages and rular areas look in the states like North/South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Montana, Wymington, New Mexico, Idaho and so on. US city ghettos look even worse than 3rd world countries, cities like Gary IN, Detroit, and all the other American shitholes and ghettos

[@PeterK1]

The actual reason why lot of Russians that made lot of money go west is they actually go where it is warm all year round and where there are coastal sea resorts because Russians are obsessed with living by the sea in warm climate, this is why even more Russians go to Thailand than the West. In Russia they don't have any warm climate all year round accept for one small city Sochi, it also is not really warm during winter and it already is full of rich Russians.

[@mleko23]

@@PeterK1 But the whole West is so evil, corrupt and unorthodox, devoid of family values, full of gays, nazis, drug addicts, and all the time plotting to destroy Russia. Is the temperature enough to even it out? Isn't better to spend all that hard earned money in russia?

This isn’t a political video. So please refrain from bringing politics into it, just focus on positives.

[@zasmirko100]

All the states resources are going to Moscow - there must be a place for rich and middle-class too. At the same time the parts of Russia which have the most natural riches are the most poor (Yakutia with its diamonds, oil and gas etc). Of course Russia can be both cold and hot - in such big territory there are of course different climate zones too). Are Russians oppressed? Have all of you seen those "protesting women" with just clean white sheet or sheet with ** *** sign and arrested brutally within seconds? As long as you are apolitical or support Putin, Kirill and their wars, don't stand against local government, you are not oppressed, may be only brought to kill Ukrainians at frontline against your will. But try to be loud against official politic and you find yourself quickly within great problems. The method for governing is the same in China, Belorussia, Cuba, Hitler's Germany etc.
