Red pill me on Russia

Is Russia really that bad as the media and self-loathing Russians potray it or is it just a case of 'the grass is greener on the other side' and life is actually normal and livable there, although not quite as wealthy as the West?

Do people despise the West and like Putin or vice versa?
Will street child gangs rob people?
Will you find used needles and condoms lying in a park?
Are there neo nazi gangs who hunt and murder black people and dragqueens?
Are people generally friendly outside or does everyone try to look angry like in all bad neighborhoods?
Will you get abused in the army or by police?
Do you really have to bribe everyone?
What about the job market, is Russia full of towns with unemployed, wife-beating alcoholics?

TL:DR Red pill me on Russia. I tend to believe a lot of that is bullshit and a few liveleaks videos don't prove a damn thing but I'm undecided.

Why are Russians so weird?

Oh and >inb4 not politics

It is politics my dude. If I asked about Belgium ok, but Russia is very relevant to the world and geopolitics. Politics shaped Russia into what it is and in turn the society shapes politics. So yes it is politics.

Lesson 1: Russia hates America

Hm it doesn't say American people or else the rating for Germany would be WAY higher.

It is sad when nations are reduced to the shit their government does, but I guess it is unavoidable.

Well once you cross the border it's like going to some african country. I live near the border and I go like once a week to pump car gas there, since it's much cheaper

Russians themselves are mostly friendly and funny people. Never really had problems with them

>Oh and >inb4 not politics
wtf are you talking about nigga?

Why does the United Kingdom like the USA?

Because they're the most cucked nation in the world besides Canada?

>Do people despise the West and like Putin or vice versa?
Putin is generally popular. Opinions of the West are reciprocal.
>Will street child gangs rob people?
Russia isn't Brazil.
>Will you find used needles and condoms lying in a park?
Maybe in a poorly maintained provincial park, but this is the case in almost any European country.
>Are there neo nazi gangs who hunt and murder black people and dragqueens?
Not as many as I wish there were.
>Are people generally friendly outside or does everyone try to look angry like in all bad neighborhoods?
Only retards go around smiling all the time.
>Will you get abused in the army or by police?
Only if you deserve it.
>Do you really have to bribe everyone?
It helps.
>What about the job market, is Russia full of towns with unemployed, wife-beating alcoholics?
The job market is not great, but expenses are low.

>when your whole country is celebrating the defeat of Nazis
>when people want to destroy the channels of multilateral diplomacy and want your historically aggressive neighbors to return to an ideology of extreme military aggression justified by utmost racial supremacy.

Once was a thread deleted because it focused too much on a country and not enough on politics. Just wanted to make sure.

Sweden exists, you know.

The logic is simple. 70 years ago Russia was ruled by evil kikes and other foreigners. We got our kike problem somewhat under control, but now Western Europe and America are ruled by evil kikes who want nothing more than for Europeans to exterminate each other.

Very succinct.

>Only retards go around smiling all the time.
this is actually an old russian proverb. seriously, i'm not making it up

russia-insider.com/en/why-dont-russians-smile/ri6935
4. A Russian has to have a sufficient reason to smile, which will be obvious to the others. This gives a person the right to smile - from the point of view of the other people. Russian language contains an unique proverb, which is not presented in the other languages: "The laugh without reason - is the sign of stupidity" ("Smeh bez prichiny - priznak durachiny")

based russia

>redpill me on russia

all you need to know is that they raped german girls and brought communism upon us.

they deserve to be exterminated along with the burger, brits and frogs.

we are already in the process of doing that.

just dont think about it, let it happen.

cпacибo.

>red pill me on Russia
At first they seem cool but after a while they come back and fuck your shit up for 45 years.

Read: "Gangster Capitalism" and "Everything is Possible and Nothing is Real"

Rus is a warped version of England or the USA. Everything on the outside looks like a functioning democracy but after 1993 there was a decision by the Deep State to nationalize everything from domestic media to national exports.

Putin and his 30 closest pals literally run the entire country. Because of this, if you are not in an inner circle there is no pride in society or social programs. Because there is no vertical mobility beyond this small Oligarchy civil law is a false judicial system and public trust is zero. Crime and embezzlement is common with less then 10 % of Russians paying their true income. Because of this, social systems not tired to a Oligarch benefactor are starved and must rely on bribes to thrive.

Because of this breakdown of Russian society the birth rate of Russians have fallen to a rank about on par with Japan. Since Russia has the strongest grasp out of all countries on all form of media, more brutal then even China or NOK, the Russian population is in a total propaganda daze. Which shows if one monitors RT/Pravda vs. the Street Views or Reuters news wires.

As an economy, Putin is 1 bad oil crash away from a revolt. In 2008 he raided the state pensions which pissed off his loyalists. In 2014 to bail out the oil sector he raided the army pensions and banks for hard dollars, crashing the Ruble. The oligarchs and army has not yet forgiven him for that. Which is why many of his 30 close friends, except Igor Sechkin have been distancing themselves from Putina since 2015.

Russia could not afford to pay for the upgrades to the port of Crimea, which was neglected for 40 years post-USSR. Rather then pay for the upgrades, because building a deep base at the Sochi Submarine pens would be too expensive, Putin decided to start a Frozen conflict, modeled after his Georgian invasion. It is estimated over 35,000 people have died, most of the conscripts.

Do they teach the Bolsheviks as a positive thing or a negative thing? From what I've read, it seems like provisional government from 1917 would have basically lead to a more western democratic system?

>who want nothing more than for Europeans to exterminate each other.
i'm really, really hoping that all the jewish mulitlateral liberal institutions break down and get trump to pull the US out of Eurasia.

Doesn't sound like western propaganda at all.

Putin is one of the only world leaders who has the balls to stand up to USA.

I lived in provincial Russia for a year and half. The only other foreigners in my area were Mormon and Baptist missionaries. It was pretty comfy. You can live a normal life there.
>Do people despise the West and like Putin or vice versa?
It's complicated. They have state controlled media and we have deep state controlled media. Our respective elites try to whip up hostility between us, but it's all bullshit. Putin is popular, but people aren't afraid to gripe about him
>Will street child gangs rob people?
No. I never encountered or heard of such a thing
>Will you find use needles and condoms lying in a park?
I know you can find them in urban Canadian parks. You can probably find them in Russian parks if you go looking
>neo nazi gangs who hunt and murder black people and dragqueens?
There is nothing organized. I remember incidents in Moscow where gangs attacked people from the Caucasus. Don't know if they still do that. Sometimes criminals organize these things for business reasons
>are people generally friendly outside or does everyone try to look angry?
Russians don't smile in public and generally look pretty grim. Once you've broken the ice, they're more open to strangers than we are in the west, though. You can meet people in a cafe or anywhere.
>Will you get abused by the army or police?
If you look obviously foreign, the police might shake you down. That's about it, though. They treat Russians worse. I never had trouble with them.
> Do you really have to bribe everyone?
It helps in certain circumstances. If you're stopped for speeding, you bribe the police openly. If you want an official to hurry up, or you need a medical procedure fast, a bribe makes things go more smoothly.
> job market?
Not great. The official salaries are low, but the underground economy is huge. Don't believe any economic statistics on Russia. They're better off than you think

>deliberately blue pilling yourself
why don't you read some russian books about russia instead of reading all this jew shit?

>Is Russia really that bad as the media and self-loathing Russians portray it or is it just a case of 'the grass is greener on the other side' and life is actually normal and livable there, although not quite as wealthy as the West?
Russia has been in deep shit after Gorby and in even deeper shit after Yeltsin. Under Putin the level of life has gone up, but still far from world's highest like Germany or US. Our standard of living is about the same as worst of the Europe, think Poland and so on. It's worse in faraway regions.

>Do people despise the West and like Putin or vice versa?
By majority, yes. Decades of propaganda did the trick. Scapegoating everything on the West is a the only accepted national way of thinking, especially when people reduce political spectrum to 'them and us' and believe every conspiracy theory.

>Will you find used needles and condoms lying in a park?
If you cherrypick a park in some total shithole like Russian Detroit, sure.

>Are there neo nazi gangs who hunt and murder black people and dragqueens?
Read more huffpost.

>Are people generally friendly outside or does everyone try to look angry like in all bad neighborhoods?
Depends on place and who you are. Russia is 4.5 times the size of Germany, with many different ethnicities all lumped as Russian. In general, less hospitality than in other countries.

>Will you get abused in the army or by police?
In the army, usually yes but it depends. Not sure what you mean "by police", usually not really.

>Do you really have to bribe everyone?
Depends. You want your kid to get into good kindergarten/school/whatever, you may need to do that.

>What about the job market, is Russia full of towns with unemployed, wife-beating alcoholics?
Job market exists in big cities. In small towns, it mostly isn't there, or offers pathetic pay. Too many people depend on the state.

Would you like specific examples of the Klutra in action ? A introduction Redpill can be found in the story of Boris Bereznovsky. Track his rise & fall and look at the IMF Auctions in 1992-1995.
Now look at the Sochi Olympics scandals

We can do a NATO country for "Redpill" next, if it makes you GRU types happy.

Bunch of snowflakes.
They'll outsmart your pussygedonizm and rob you afterwards. Most are thick shots, but most of that come over making kikes look human

>Putin and his 30 closest pals literally run the entire country.
Western countries are also ruled by small elite cliques. At least Russia is more open about it, instead of using powerless puppet politicians controlled by secretive financial elites.

>Since Russia has the strongest grasp out of all countries on all form of media, more brutal then even China or NOK, the Russian population is in a total propaganda daze
Russian media is actually pretty free compared to the West. It is true that the media cannot criticize those in power. Russian media cannot criticize Putin, Western media cannot criticize Jews.

>As an economy, Putin is 1 bad oil crash away from a revolt.
Russians are not whiny pussies. We are self sufficient and won't revolt just because we can't afford imported French cheeses. If Putin does face a revolt, it will be from nationalists who are angry at his open-borders policies with the Caucasus and Central Asia.

>Russia could not afford to pay for the upgrades to the port of Crimea, which was neglected for 40 years post-USSR.
There is no rush. Retaking Crimea was a great accomplishment which almost makes up for Putin's many other failures.

>As an economy, Putin is 1 bad oil crash away from a revolt
This is what a fucking leaf actually believes

Russia still has ancient forests in quite big numbers which is rare in yurop, finland and sweden have some but very little.
So theres that

Should i change my tune and try to go to Russia, instead of your mofo-kolhozniks coming over with suitcases of YOUR stolen money?
Never nothing good is going to come out of such bromance.
I'd rather you kiss and make up with your neighbours.

It changed somewhat; I was in school when Yeltsin textbooks were still widespread.
In one of my courses it basically went like this:
—WWI and the revolution left the country torn apart; bolsheviks caused a lot of bloody terror; Lenin tried to implement something like market economy, but then came Stalin
—Stalin took the last bits of freedom from people, but won the war—at the expense of tremendous of losses though

The other was:
—Lenin dindu nothing wrong
—Stalin was effective manager, helped rebuild the economy and won the holy war against nazis; death tolls are greatly exaggerated and Khruschev was a lying shit

I don't know what they teach anymore.

Russia is a decadent and irrelevant third world country with nuclear capabilities ready for the 70's cold war.

They also have a big military from the slave labour days from the Soviet Union.

In around 30 years it's military force will be so behind anyone else's around them in both technology and functioning hardware that they will be completely irrelevant. (They can only build around 1 or 2 of their 'next-gen prototypes' and their old soviet era equipment is falling apart)

But in truth it is only mentioned and kept around as a """threat""" because it creates a context for many political movements and choices and that is it's only use.

The whole country's economy is based on crude oil for god's sake. Just think about what the push for non-oil fuels is going to do to it. They are heading full speed at their biggest recession and probably break up.

>more brutal then even China or NOK
Are you fucking serious? This got to be bait.

>Internet is open
>4chin is open without proxies
Hm, I wonder who wrote this book?

>some african country
I'm guessing you've never been to Africa bud

Russia will never be behind militarily. That's literally their thing. You are delusional if you think so.

Russia has it's fair shair of talented autists. See Tetris and a trillion game mods. The Asian genes make them good at math and finding efficient ways to kill someone.

They could probably annihilate Brazil in 1 week.

Some say, quarter of the krouts born post ww2 are Russian, would explain alot

But, just like when Tsar Nicholas II, they are falling behind real fast, and they aren't even able to properly keep their current hardware now.

With the incoming economical crash, this will be impossible.

>They could probably annihilate Brazil in 1 week.

They couldn't do it conventionally because they badly lack power projection and sustainment capability. Their GDP is barely better than Italy's so that's understandable.

this is just like my animes

>But, just like when Tsar Nicholas II, they are falling behind real fast, and they aren't even able to properly keep their current hardware now.
Falling behind who? Western Europe doesn't spend money on weapons. American arms manufacturers are filling with affirmative action subhumans. China and Japan are uncreative gook ant-people who can only copy what whites give them. Russia is in a very good position in terms of military technology.

hang yourself paedophile scum

Well obviously they couldn't do it with you patroling the oceans and your navy would annihilate theirs, no doubt.

What I mean is their legendary improvisation talent. They are the fucking MacGyver of nations. Historically the West was always stunned when they encountered the shit Russia built, every single time.

They are like an autist who only has 1 talent but sucks at everything else. Well their talent is to build diabolical military tech.

Whats a typical restaurant menu like?

What forigh food/ or other stuff is common/of interest?

Is krysha (protection) still a thing? If so how much etc?

Aeye!
Now I believe you are great and equal to other whites... I fukin do!...

>more brutal then even China or NOK
Lol, no. And RT is not bad a lot of the time, even if it is state propaganda. Still better than CNN

>70 years ago Russia was ruled by evil kikes

...

Anna Kournikova

бopщ

You fuckers invented socialism
hegel/marx/engels
then you send lenin over there
and you wonder why karma fucked you.

We should break up germany into smaller independent states.

Seriously what do they tell you about Stalin?

>Venezuela : +10
>Germany : + 5
definitely fake

What did Khruschev do?

>no Iran

>Israel not 100
Ungrateful fucks.

Just to be clear- since 70 years ago they are run by kikes and are and happy to be so

Russia comes close? Don't get me wrong I have nothing against Russia or Russians. They just don't keep their infrastructure up to date.
A lot of holes the roads etc

Is it easy for burger to migrate to Russia?

You are a fool to think Russia has "poor" military. Its been proven that Russia could roll over Europe in less than 60 hours. Even if had support from the U.S. Don't believe me? Google it.

huhuhuhu the digits have spoken

I think you can do political asylum. I've been looking into it for like 6 months. Very easy to visit, but most people say you don't want to live there.

Holy fuck, its cherno alpha

Russia in no longer the Soviet Union of the cold war. and is very very large country. There is your ReD piLL

Shifted all the blame onto Stalin as he and other dindu nuffin

>Is Russia really that bad as the media and self-loathing Russians potray

Yes

And KYS

Photo made me lol. I'm stealing it for the goldmine. Well done comrade.

in a line by line rebuttal:

>Putin and his 30 closest pals literally run the entire country.
>Western countries are also ruled by small elite cliques. At least Russia is more open about it, instead of using powerless puppet politicians controlled by secretive financial elites.

No, regardless if you believe Russian economic statistics, the Gini coefficent of Russian society is the 3rd worst in the world. Against all other countries the wealth concentration and stratification of russian society is bad. Sliding the topic does not distract from the fact Russia has some serious Economic problems that it must face and admit. Domestic corruption, government embezzlement and government sanctioned cartels/monopolies are major problems in Russia which are totally unique to Russia. A good case study of this is the Bazhenov Shale's vs. the Bakken shales, if we want to go as far as "red pill" on specific economic policies. But I'd rather not turn this into a imageboard ColdWar.

>Russian media is actually pretty free compared to the West. It is true that the media cannot criticize those in power.

Name 30 journalists the CIA has killed in 10 years for reporting on a Corruption Scam. Compare that list to the Putinst GRU list. Don't slide with US sockpuppet arguments.

>As an economy, Putin is 1 bad oil crash away from a revolt.
>Russians are not whiny pussies. We are self sufficient

Bullshit. Look at RUS net imports and EU import mix. What is the bond market and default swaps telling you about RUS economy?

> Retaking Crimea was a great accomplishment which almost makes up for Putin's many other failures.

If wasting US$30b and killing 35,000 infantry in an attrition war is an accomplishment, what does Kremlin classify as failure, Afganistan ? LOLZ

One can only hope

Do they have highways now between cities or is it still some local shit roads between the big cities.

>Russia isn't Brazil
Russia isn't Brazil.

WTF WE HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU AND YOU BADMOUTH US EXPLAIN

Country that steals 90% of other peoples ideas and culture and calls itself "Great".

Russia after the Tzar never had a healthy childhood country stage,-- it was controlled very unhealthfully by big daddy state - then big daddy died and Russia has had a very akward teenagehood. Basically socially unfit. Not helpful was the creation of a few bazillionaire of which Putin is one of and development of another semi serf class . Russia is retarded

It is probably not very hard, but i wouldn't recommend it. Living in Russia is like living in a Western European country with 10 points lower average IQ. Everything is shittier and more dysfunctional here, and you have fewer personal freedoms i.e. no freedom of speech, no guns, weak rule of law. As kiked and nigged as America is, it will be a long time until living in Russia is objectively better. You have a good country, take up arms to defend it from the non-white hordes before you give up and run away.

>muh corruption
The entire world is corrupt outside of Northwestern Europe. Northwestern Europeans are just extreme outliers with a biological inclination towards honesty. Nothing that can realistically be done about it.

>Name 30 journalists the CIA has killed in 10 years for reporting on a Corruption Scam.
I can name hundreds of journalists in the West who cannot work because the named the Jew.

>Look at RUS net imports and EU import mix
Russia is already under severe Western sanctions, normal people barely notice.

>If wasting US$30b and killing 35,000 infantry in an attrition war is an accomplishment
There was no serious fighting in Crimea as far as I know.
