Is Russia really a shit hole? Every time you see the country and its people in a film, the portrayal is cold, run down, pessimistic and brutal. Russian men walk around in track suits with shaved heads and bruised knuckles. The women are without emotion.
Is this accurate? I feel like if I ever visit the country I'm going to find out that it's the complete opposite. Families will be traditional and plentiful, the people will be comfortable with each other and the environments will be bustling and colourful with a rich tapestry of history.
Am I being lied to?

idk
two americans I know visited Russia in past 2 years
one liked it a lot and plans to come again this year
other one complained about "people not smiling to each other" but he is also what you call a liberal sjw and possible cuckold
also it depends on location, I'd say stay away from anything that isn't Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and Krasnodar
ALSO do NOT come to Russia if it's not summer or winter unless you want to stare at most depressing lansdscape ever

Nope.

A shithole. Inferior to Sochi. You are kubanoid or something?

I think middle class is almost non existent in Russia. They have the very small rich areas and many Russian areas living near or in poverty.

It kind of depends.
Australia is cleaner, much better weather, nicer buses, nicer streets, nicer homes. But you guys get huge fucking insects and roaches and stuff in your nice homes. Doesn't really happen here.
No doubt Australia has a better economy and more money, but all the money in the world couldn't find me a nice feminine girl in Australia. So many loud, masculine sjw types, and so few pretty women.
Final thing -- Australians don't really have souls. Russians have very deep souls.
So yes, you would probably call it a shithole if you came here. Stay in aus.
Kevin Bell
Finland looks like Russia
I have been to your country

You'd have to be a complete idiot to think this is anywhere near as bad as Russia. The weather is shit but the buildings are in decent condition. You'd have to try really hard to find a place that looks as run down as most Russian commieblocks.

Did you have a job offer first? How are the locals treating you? Can you compare Krakow to any major Russian city you are familiar to in terms of prices, ecology?

Oliver Campbell
there are 3 types of russians that shill russia on the interwebs:
1) people on payroll. no joke, they exist
2) immigrants, who suddenly felt homesick,or had troubles integrating, but prefer to love teh Mutherland from abroad
3) poor souls that have nothing, but the image of "great Homeland". It's quite a universal trait as well, read some fiction or non-fiction about Germany after WWI - pretty much the same sentiments
Leo Price
there is nothing to explain really
it's just a fact
your typical wooden houses look poor as fuck but in Finland they are regarded as quality or something and of course you also have the cold windy climate, lack of sunshine and commieblocks
Elijah Stewart
Can you explain what about this photo proves that Finland is a shithole worse than Russia? If all you have is pictures of shitty weather and you think this is proof then you're actually retarded.
Christian Gonzalez
arguing with a pidorussian pig is senseless, pidorussian pig knows russia is a shithole and your country is not, he's just lying, pidorussian always lies even to himself. he literally answers to your post from picrealted but still tries to convince you russia is ok.

At least Russia isn't bend on collecting shitty wooden houses for its CALCHA!! WE MUST SAVE IT!!! We have barracks that were built for workers in early 20th century, they look like this. Russians for some reason don't pretend that barracks = culture that needs to be protected.

In the IT world it is a job that finds you. I can't say anything about other professions.
>How are the locals treating you?
Never had any issues. Poles are at first wary but once you try to get along with them they become bro-tier.
>Can you compare Krakow to any major Russian city you are familiar to in terms of prices, ecology?
Hard to say. I'm from Яpocлaвль and it may sound ridiculous but I can find similiarities between these two cities. As for prices food is very cheap here. You have to pay more for gas and petrol.
Jace Walker
I’ve been to Ukraine and it was pretty bad.
Could Russia be any better?
It was literally a trip to the past. Run down shit everywhere, horse carriages and 50 year old busses, roads with more potholes than actual road. It looked like nothing had been done there since the 1960s and after the Soviet Union fell it just decayed even more.

Russia is much bigger than Finland, it has way more abandoned villages and cities. It's very easy to find pics of shitty and unmaintained buildings. No doubt about that.

The only good times of russia were when all the russians were serfs of theit non-russian (German, Tatar, Ukranian, Circassian etc.) nobility.
Then pidorussians were not allowed to make any decision, they were unquestioning perfomers only, so they couldn't do any harm to the nature, environment or architecture.

>Is Russia really a shit hole
Totally as fuck.
Look, i'll try to explain this. Firts of all it is location Russian on the world map. This territory locate between Asia and civilized Europe. Do you know about tatar-mongolian invasion in old Russia? This was time when Russia consist from little "kingdoms", without a unify. In this time more organized Asian barbarians invade to Russia and Russia gave very big money for save his existing. In this time Europe increased themselves without war. This first reason. Second one it is really cold climate. When you can't warm yourself for 9 month in year, each other year, you can't think about some above things like in warm Europe. Why local people don't move to another country for all these life? This is third reason - poverty. Imagine, in this conditions grew up some guy. He manage to get to the highness autority and he became rich and powerful guy. But in his mind he still stupid dirty scum. He don't know culturals ways for resolve problem - he will simply kill his rivals. He don't know cultural ways of increase economics and life level. He just know these things this he saw in his poor childhood. He don't do nothing because he nasty. This guy build government system and autority of all this country will be like he - more nasty and more stupid. BUT they have powerful weapon and nobody do with it nothing (remember for special Russian Patriots: nuke gave by Americans scientists to soviet's government because they wanted prevent 3 world war, just for nuke's world balance).
In nutshell. Russian government hate a folk, a folk hate each others. But strong propaganda set Russians hate stupid Americans and gay-looking Europeans, talking about Russian God's powers and something like that.
Answering on your question: yes, depressing country.
If somebody will speak something opposite - this is kremlin's propacondom working for 15 rubles per post from Moscow or St Petersburg
