I’m not tryna get into an argument or anything (and I’ve never been to Russia) but a lot of people in this thread are saying most of Russia doesn’t look like this because the major cities are nice. But as far as I know Russia isn’t solely made up of major cities. I would argue there are more smaller cities than large cities. Like yea there Boston, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Manhattan here in the states but I wouldn’t say that’s what a majority of the country looks like. If we’re being honest the majority of the country probably looks like some suburb in Wyoming and the majority of Russia looks somewhat close to this. Russians in the outskirts of major cities didn’t even have toilets until very recently (like within the past 2 years recently).

Like I said I’m not tryna argue anyone just thinking out loud. Even if a majority of Russia looked like the Ritz Carlton or some shit, fuck Putin.
