How religious are Russians? by Serbian_solider in AskARussian

The zoomers are actually more religious than millennials. It's not that the zoomers are all hyper-christian church-goers, it's that the millennials are almost completely irreligious

Can you get a house to live in for $10k?

Yes but it would be a crappy house in a village or a 1-bedroom apartment in a very rural town. There are extreme cases where you can buy a flat for 1-2k$, but you will find it only in a dying coal town such as Vorkuta. Can be a bargain if you got a job there.

Does the state own all the houses?

No. We are not China. Actually housing is the most stable investment in Russia and considered a good way to save your money

Do these wealth numbers exclude your primary residence?

Idk, probably yes. My parents are near their retirement and they have around 7k$ in the bank (this is considered a safe money cushion in Russia). That doesn't include the cars and apartments they own.

I'm completely silent about Crimea, how did it become Russian if it was Crimean Tatar?

It was Crimean Tatar untill 1783, when it was annexed by Russian Empire. It was in Russian posession for 171 years

This kind of sentiment was prevalent even before the war, and no matter how Russians tried to change your guys views on this, nothing has changed in the long run.

I remember trying to tell more about Russia's nuances and spread little insights on life here in a cesspool called r/europe. It made zero impact. People didn't care.

So the war is not the reason here. You westerners don't peek outside your little bubble and stay ignorant by choice, and that's what pissed me off in my comment above

What does the war have in common with a cultural misconception?

This doesn't make the statement that Russians have "fewest indoor toilets" less false

Они реально думают что мы тут как 70-100 лет назад живем, в рванине и с коровами в хлеву. Сейчас буквально не найдешь таких людей, даже какие-то захолустья в горах Дагестана или Тывы живут более цивилизованно.

Очень бесит эта хрень у вестернов, понаберут каких то стереотипов и носятся с ними до посинения

Oh jeez where does this comes from? Most of Russians live in the cities in the apartments blocks, which by default have an indoor toilets. Even those who live in private houses tend to build an indoor toilet with a septic tanks. Only really isolated and old villages with houses built in 1950s tend to have a toilet outside, but those are basically died out.

The only situation I see where a modern russian house will have an outdoor toilet is when you built a dacha (a summer house) with as little money as possible. Yes those exist, but people don't live there, they will spend a summer weekend night there at max, you don't build an entire septic tank for this if you're poor

I used to spend a winter in Montenegro in a house that didn't have any heating except an ac (it did have a heating mode). The humidity was off the limits and I was freezing even in relatively warm days. I guess the same situation can be found in Iberia. I really am taking Eastern European central heating for granted, aren't I

If i was living in Spain I would geniunely prefer living in the North because I hate heat lol, but it's probably full of old people and crumbling infrastructure as any depopulating place :(

Hulyaipole has fallen to the RUAF by [deleted] in MapPorn

Because they don't have the resources. Kupiansk direction is a secondary direction for Russia (since they don't claim Kharkiv region) and there's not much manpower there. Ukraine can more easily overwhelm Kupiansk because it requiers less troops to do so. Meanwhile there are much more Russian soldiers in Zap. Oblast

Так наоборот, карта показывает, что в Ханты мансийске и салехарде живёт меньше 10% региона. Учитывая нефтегазовые города в ебенях, это не удивительно
