How life is like in Russia?

[Ubisoft_Agent]

I always have fascination with Russia, where men are masculine and women are ladies. I like their orthodox buildings and the way they respect their traditional culture. I like how their language sounds too.

I wonder what a life is in Russia. It would be perfect if someone who has lived in both the West and Russia can tell me more.

I don't want to get too much into the politics, but in general the country just isn't a very safe place.

What incredible irony.

I don't see how this thread is prone to insult competition.

There is always that one person who throws it into chaos.

There're not much people living in this country so I thought the crime rate would not be high.

Just because its gone doesnt mean the blocks are gone. Most russians live in those ugly ass blocks. Russia never grew economically

He's actually lying.

2017 Homicide Rates :

Russia 6, USA 5.4,

As far as terrorism is concerned, in 2017 36 people died and 189 were injured during terror incidents.

In USA, on the other hand, 95 people died and 800 were injured.

Roads are the only dangerous things about Russia.

Also, total crime recorded in USA is around 12 million incidents. Thats 4 times more than Russia.

Well, thats even more hilarious. In my 24 years living here, the worst thing the government ever done to me or the people i know was inflate vine prices by 2%.

Elaborate? Or is it just something you've heard from CNN?
