I know this is not popular on Poal (because, communism) but I'm starting to really love Russia. Complain all you want about their government, but ours is a fucking disaster right now.
Putin is amazing, i love the guy
Putin for president! 2024!
Traitorous faggots
Trust me, Russia isn't free by any means. Their conditions have improved dramatically since the 90's, but there are still very shithole things about it. Nothing functions efficiently, tons of bureaucracy, no free speech against government, people aren't friendly or have any care for their fellow person, standards are low, morale and work ethic is low, there is bribery by public servants, employer abuse, etc.
The grass always looks greener on the other side. They are getting nicer cities, infrastructure, etc. but they have many underlying problems.
I've heard alcoholism is still a big issue.
I was around some funny alcoholics when i was a kid, but until i got to highschool and saw people try as hard as possible to identify themselves with alcohol more and more because it was "cool" i didnt see how bad it was
Russia isn't communist. The USSR was. I like Putin too
(because, communism)
You don't think Russia is still a communist country do you? It isn't, and hasn't been since the early 90s. The rest of the 90s were just a corrupt mess until Putin somehow got in power and appears to have genuinely cleaned it all up and is setting it up to a legit solid country again. That's why you love Russia. If you're going to take a post communist country and turn it into a decent place, all while the same forces that turned it into a communist shithole don't want you to succeed, it's going to take awhile, maybe 2 decades, before it becomes really noticeable.
An illegitimate fucking disaster...
Definitely some truth to that.
