>Russia has been totally dead since 1921

We're not.

We have a bunch of retarded crooks and their underlings running their operations but things will change once the older guys keep dying off.

The difference in how vocal the middle class/political class is from even five years ago is insane.

>I think it’s a compliment to be called non-European

Europeans have respect for one another, respect for earnest working standards. I saw new neighborhoods in Finland that would be the utter pinnacle of new construction in Russia just casually cropping up. In Italy I saw structures preserved and loved while in Russia we just abandon our history to bums and build a disgusting glass office building next to them. Entire towns had old districts with NO CARS while in every city here, lanes are growing to like 10 lane highways over our kremlins/old towns with massive flat parking lots everywhere.

I saw none of this in Europe. Why the fuck would we not want to be a happier/more adjusted people. In tune with culture and our local environment? Instead we get the same fucking idiot mayor since 1996 building his mansion in prime location and another shitty 11 story china block cropping up for everyone else.
