What is Russia really like in comparison to America? Does it have a nice culture and a fair opportunity for each individual to succeed? Is life better there?

>Does it have a nice culture and a fair opportunity for each individual to succeed?
Yes.
> Is life better there?
Well, in Moscow - for sure.

ah, sage. Stop posting Huilo, faggot.

>neighbours grass is greener

LEt me tell you something. I am a teacher of history and social studies working at school for 38 hours per week. My payment is 2,500 $. If manage to put some sence into kids heads so they can sucesfully pass the state exams, I can get extra 500 $. I've been geeting this kind of payment for 2 years now. The shit started when Crimea became a part of Russia, befroe I had been getting 6000 $ per month.
There are two kinds of school in Russia, most of them are state funded. The first type is the school when kids of commoners are being tought, the second type of school are gymnasiums, lyceum. The second type where I currently working at is good - kids are somewhat smart, their parrents are reasonable, the conditions of enjucation are more than good.
Now the first type of schools are the schools with one class when kids can tell you to fuck off, they smoke, they fuck during a break in toilets, they bring drugs in school. Their parents are most likely came from the pictures of Russians you had saved - with tracksuits and such.
And answering your question - yes, you can get promoted and get hger paymetn and even enjoy living in Russia but you have to put so much efforts into that. And there is always a fear of Big Brother - a colleague of mine was fired because he was criticizing Putin and school authorities in VK.

Feel free to ask your questions.

Whats considered a livable wage? How easy is it to find a job? Lets say in Moscow, is it an ejoyable city to live in? What are the apartments like?

I imagine it's a cool country to live in if you have money. If you're poor (and almost everyone is) you'll most likely live like a bum. Of course those born into the higher middle class will tell you they've earned their wealth through hard work. I guess it's just like every Europe or the US except things like social security and healthcare are even less prevalent.

Nice culture fair opportunity? You sound like a fucking bindi. Poo goes in the loo faggot.

How the fuck do you have 2.5k$ a month as a teacher?
Popular narrative here states that teachers and doctors recieve a shitty pay. Like 600$ a month.

Spotted the libcuck.

Isn't russia like a giant new jersey in the snow?

Government condiders 10k roubles a minimum. Thats like 150-160$ now.
Majority of population recieves like 500-700$, and gets by.
I work IT, get 1800$ a month and consider myself lower middle class.

Are you a hacker?

Everyone is hacker here.

That's what I've gathered from CNN.

Will be safe visiting as a 6'1 Polynesian with a BPC?

How did communism effect russian families?

Sort of on topic about russia and america, but... Just as I was leaving the gym 20 minutes ago before this post, I overheard one guy talking to the gym receptionist about "Russia being a bunch of pussies, and Trump wanting to support them. Hillary, would bomb the shit out of them. Do you know that Russia is killing innocent children in other countries?"
That's all I heard, since I didn't want to stand and listen in front of them.

>1800$
>lower middle class
You earn more than a doctor or teacher - of course this is just a poor trolling effort. Median income is around 600$, even lower in recent years.

Their president is not a kike puppet

Nice blogpost faggot.

Is it true that some people have do not receive pay cheques for weeks or months? Also what would, say a 1 bedroom apartment cost and a weeks worth of food cost with monthly water and electricity? How are the internet speeds?

Surprisingly little. Theyntried to make a new family format in 20s, but then it sorta filed and the traditional family values survived for nearly a century.
A normal family here is a fshrer working full-time, maybe mother working too if needed. Gays are looked down goon but aren't persecuted, just disliked by the majority.

>in comparison

uh both nationalistic military heavyweights, "democracy" lots of drinking and rednecks, love for football,

>nice culture

its pretty interesting, not always nice, but cool i suppose

>fair opportunity for each individual to succeed?
no

>is life better there?
fuck no. unless youre super rich, in which case id argue life would still be better in america if you are super rich.

They tried, failed, father, upon*
Fucking half-functional autocorrect.

The pen, lmao

How are gays treated in Russia? Do you have gay friends? Is it unsafe to kiss someone of the same sex in Russia? Do gay nightclubs exist?

Thanks Russia.

Here's the deal.
If you are a dude kissing a dude in public, people won't like it.
If you're a dude kissing a girl in public, people won't like it.
Essentially, in Russia open display of sexuality or strong feelings is a no-no, and being gay is a big no-no too. Combining these is like fucking a dog in public in the West.
Gay clubs exist, especially in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Well I can occasionally travel and have a new car, and not bother with counting every rouble. However, I can't buy an apartment or a house.

Does this mean fucking a dog in Russia is not frown upon?

>Their president is not a kike puppet
Every president is a kike puppet you'd know this if your president was worth knowing

Russia is somewhere around top Latin America tier. Argentina or Chile, I suppose. Most if the country is shithole, 5-10 big cities are nice enough.

it is an even bigger no-no. Though fucking animals is for some reason is legal, naming pornographic material with them is illegal.
What made you think otherwise? Why is every Austrian I can think of is mentally damaged in one way or another?

Yes, actor did it on TV not too long ago.

How do you feel about the future of russia? I know putin is an kike shill but is he building a better society?

Yeah, my wife hadn't recieved a check for 5 month this year. That is not umcommon nowadays. They compensated fully, later, howrever.

Let's see, 1 bedroom apartment in Moscow costs 4mil rub, thats like 64k$. By 1 bedroom I mean 1 room, kitchen and bathroom, thats it.
Renting is relatively cheaper, around 300-350$ a month + monthly water/electrisity. These payments ranges from like 30$-120$ a month + maintenance. Recently we had a new tax on property, which adds to that, 0.1% from your property cost a year.
Basically, a lot of people have money just to buy food and clothing after all payments.

Why are you guys so sad all the time?
What can i do to cheer you up?

Moscow info:
one bedroom apartment for rent is about 500 USD/month, give or take depending on location
reasonable buying price for 1 bedroom apt is around 100k USD (can be up to 1mil USD if located in the city center next to kremlin)
unlimited internet 100mbps is 5-10 USD/month

Compared to America, Russia is a poor shithole. However, life here is more free than in the US and Europe, unless you decide to heavily criticize people in power in public, with PROOFS.

Nice culture - yes. Fair opportunity to succeed - it depends. People in North Korea have an opportunity to succeed too, but it's much harder to do than in the US for example. Same shit with Russia - it's possible to succeed with enough dedication and hard work, but you'll need to put much more effort into it.

>Is life better there
Depends on what you consider a better life. We're poor AF, especially after the Crimean happenings.

Yeah, this guy has more realistic numbers, I admit.

wew lad, dont misinform the leaf.
4mil rub will only get you a tiny flat outside of moscow. i recently bought one for 4.9mil juuust inside the city border.

Maybe it's due to the fact we lived poor our entire lives, mate.

I've learned that every Russian is a hacker out to get you. Watch out.

oy vey

I have a 1500 square foot 3 bedroom, two bathroom home + land and pay monthly mortgage payment (own own home) including insurance and taxes of $820.

However, for 40mbps high speed internet unlimited+ landline telephone and voicemail I pay $80 per month. Then a 4G LTE cell phone line with unlimited data is $65 per month.

Our telecom / utility costs are much higher in the USA but land and homes are cheap in most of the nation outside Jew York and San Fagcisco.

Send money

Yeah, internet's cheap here, why can't Americans have the same?

>Putin is a kike shill
And that is why he banned foreign-backed organisations.
Anyways, the future is fairly bright. Could've been better, but it definitely could've been much worse and it's mainly thanks to Putin that it isn't a complete clusterfuck.
This in your window 8 months out of 12 doesn't make life fun.

Could I start my organic farm in Russia? Or should it just be a regular farm ? Also can I smoke the weed by myself

How are the women in Russia?

It's an AIDS ridden corrupt shithole where the government takes 70% of your payment check

Do Russians miss the Cold War as much as I do?

It was nice when geopolitics was simple.

Will we ever be mortal frenemies again?

are the women cum dumpsters like here?

What if you touch dicks in public? Is that a нeт нeт too?

well I pay 1000USD/month for my flat, but its not a mortgage from a (((bank))), its a no-interest loan from a (((friend))).

4G plan with 2gb data and unlimited minutes is 5USD, 100mbps home internet+125tv channels is 10USD.
internet is cheap here, hence everyone is a hacker.

>more free than the US
>can't bear arms and get thrown into jail for criticizing the Czar

Keep telling yourself the Yvgeni.

RRREEEEE first time ever I see a burger typing not generic "Ivan" but my name and it isn't addresed to one of my posts

>can't pirate stuff cause fbi cares about kikes money and get thrown into jail for criticizing anuone, who isn't white male
Yeah-yeah, USA is the country of freedom.

the weed is prohibited and you could start a farm but do it for fun, no big monies in it

As opposed to a wonderful land of the free, Mexico.
How are you typing without hands, anyways?
Fuck your nostalgia.
We had poverty and lack of basic goods. Toilet paper appeared in USSR in 1965.
Decent if you don't go for club whores.

WTF? Kissing or anything on public is totally fine. Girl-on-girl too. Gay stuff not so much. You can be beaten up for faggy appearance in all but central locations.

Still better than minding everyone's pronouns.

Hmm thats actually very reasonable, here n ottawa canada min wage in 11.50/hr, rent is about 900-1100$ CAD for a one bedroom apartment per month to buy its closer to 100k-250k. Food per week i myself can get buy pretty well on 60$ per week. Electricity and water is closer 200$ per month but rent, water and electricity are usually combined in rent. Inter is about 30$ -60$ for the same speed as yours. Im renting a room in a condo for 500$ which includes water, elect, heat (gas) and internet. Im only janitor and i make 1200$ per month.

probably got hacked back m8

I don't know about you, but most of the people who I know don't really show much affection on public. Maybe we're just from different social layers.

How are English speaking tourists treated? Do many Russians know English?

Are you allowed to own firearms?

And here we are, it's all comes to difference in pay. Janitors here recieve 200$ a month.
How much, say, an it developer gets?

Any parts of Russia where the women are better?

Talking to one in Tambov

>don't major in liberal arts
>never encounter pronouns
as easy as that. stem and business are free from that form of autism at the moment

Pretty much the same as most western are, minus the whole SJW narrative. We just don't have it here.
We have a few guys from US and Europe living as farmers in Russia. Land is dirt cheap, but logistics will probably kill you. Roads are trash and there just isn't enough people in the transportation industry.
Oil prices are surprisingly high too, for a country that thrives from selling it.
The fuck? We have 13% income tax. Taxes for individuals are amazing here, it's the private business regulations that are fucked. It's a huge problem, yes, and progressive block in government been pushing reforms to fix it for almost a decade now.
It's a Slav thing, really. Polish people are pretty grim and reserved too.
Why do you pretend to be happy all the time, burger?
Uh, fellow student in my group in uni was gay. No one really cared. Especially since he was a BIG GUY, literally the scariest in the whole university.
Ex-classmate was a lesbian. She just didn't parade it through the streets. Most people who knew her well enough were aware of that, but idk, it wasn't a problem.
But generally Russians dislike gays and lesbians, true. It's strange, since we had so many artists and famous people who were openly gay. Chaikovsky for example.

Yeah, there is plenty of gay nightclubs in major cities.
> Is it unsafe to kiss someone of the same sex in Russia?
Hmm, well, you will get looks for kissing your significant one in public, yes. It's strange, but even after visiting Europe/US every year since childhood and living in Germany for a 2 month i'm still pretty uncomfortable with open signs of affection. It's... ugh. I don't know. Get some privacy.

From what i heard they get about 65k -100k$CAD

Well Vse, I don't think I've actually ever met a Slav named Ivan.

> Tambov
Literally Russian analogue for Australia during the Emperium era.
Tambov accent and banter is a thing, yes. Don't know much about their women though.

it's fucking shit in any regard imaginable

Per year btw

Neato. So after monthly payments they still have plenty to go around, thats nice.

I have absolutely no idea. Moscow and Saint Petersburg have a higher golddigger amount, though.

2 nd world describes it.

Life is like in Eastern Europe altogether, but with bigger disparity. On the Polish/Czech level in richer areas, on the Latin American/ Central Asian areas in the poorest. Also, somewhat decent education and some universal healthcare and good public transportation network lingers since the soviet times.

Pls call me by name sempai I'm tired of always being called Ivan

Ya its pretty comfy for for an it dev

How dirt cheap is cheap, and what's the immigration process if you're willing to be some kind of shitty кapтoфeльный фepмep?

Is Russia pretty capitalist now? Are there still commies around?

and probably before taxes? in Russia we usually state monthly, after-tax payments.

Nope, you're Vsevolod now.

>can't bear arms
American education
>Thrown into jail for criticizing the Czar
Correct. Just like you'd be thrown into jail if you put any effort in going against the government's course everywhere in the world.

Atleast I can call a nigger what he is and not get my career ruined by it. Atleast I can say whatever the fuck I want and I won't be punished unless I climp onto Kremlin and literally scream GAS THE KIKES RACE WAR NOW. I like that I won't get jailed for torrenting movies, I can watch everything I want and I won't be jailed for it like I'd be jailed in the US for watching CP. I can get some 16y.o. girls who's happy to communicate with older guys and are not "60% white". I will never get shot by a cop unless I'll literally start stabbing him with a knife. I won't be jailed for avoiding my shitty taxes. I won't be shot by a nigger because I'm in a "bad neighborhood", since such thing doesn't even exist here since the early nineties. If you'd be in Moscow right now I could punch you in the face and get away with a ~15$ fine if anything at all. And so on.

Burgers who think that the US is the freedomland are delusional as fuck.

I'm a pizza delivery guy and clear more than you, Vlad. You're poor.

Try my name, Oh All-seeing One

>I don't think I've actually ever met a Slav named Ivan
Lots of Ivans. Also it's pronounced not as "Ay-van", but "Y-van".

Most of the country is cold and miserable, very bad in compared to America. The scars left from Soviet Union are still very visible.

Only decent cities are Moscow and St. Petersburg, and even then at times they can be terrible.

Wait few years, it is getting better

Okay.jpg

crime is high, murders per capita is high, they have high divorce rates, it's full of alcoholics and junkies, they rarely smile, they are really cold and unapproachable, their humor is autistic, their mentality is all around garbage. russia too big and too poor for my tastes. i ike the "concept" of russia, because they're an important christian orthodox country (even though they have a shit ton of atheists), they have the potential to be great and they've contributed so much to arts and sciences, but, right now, when it comes to everything else, it's a fucking shithole, just no thanks.

Actually, 2nd World is communist

>Just like you'd be thrown into jail if you put any effort in going against the government's course everywhere in the world.
translation
>I don't have freedom of speech but you don't allow domestic terrorism so it's the exact same thing

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Spetznaz, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on ISIS, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire Russian armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the KGB Secret Weapon Facility and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

only if global warning is real (spoiler: it's not)

Well ya thats before taxes so minus around 10k, taxes are based on income brakets, different percentage based on how much a person makes.

>2.5k USD a month
>as a teacher
What in the ass.

So its like canada.

>American education
I don't call being allowed to own smooth bore not rifles after a shitty permitting process bearing arms, friendo.

I can organize a protest and call Obama a Kenyan Communist martian trying to genocide the white man and not get in trouble, yo.
