Did Russian have cell phones in mid 90's? I remember that my parents first got a cell around 95-96.
I don't remember seeing a lot of them but there were pagers. I had two. I remember people with big mobile phones. I had to use a phone exchange to call home because the hotel charged exorbitant rates to use their system. I remember Nokia phones the size of a hand there in the middle and late 1990s.
I remember reading an advertisement for a company where you signed a 3 year contract for a Nokia phone which was part of the monthly plan you paid for. $12 a month if I remember right.
Russians were never behind when it came to gadgets. By the early 2000s flipphones were everywhere people were and a Russian would be dirt poor and still have a cellphone.
They were hot items for thrives too. My daughter was relieved of 2 of hers by pick pockets on the metro. My wife lost hers standing right next to me in 2006.

Yesterday, near Belgorod. ))) And to be precise, this is Prokhorovka, a Memorial complex, the very place where the greatest tank battle took place.

They had them available, but hardly anyone had any. Only started to be common (at least my definition of common) in and around 2000 or so, of course some areas more than other. But would say by 2002, it was not uncommon thing to have.

Yeah, it was 1998, 99 onward when they really took off. I'm sure there were quite a few in Moscow and St Pete before that though but not ubiquitous.
Oh that was funny as usual Vadik, but why don't we talk now about some sad things for a change?
Like why don't you tell me, how is it that such technologically -advanced country as *Ukraine* can't pull out of the water an oil tanker, that keeps on destroying one of the Odessa beaches?
I mean how long it has been sitting there already?
A year? Less than a year?
Since you like to laugh at Russia's disadvantages so much, why doesn't *far superior* Ukraine become a shiny example of "how it should be done?"
And if everything fails, why can't you ask NATO for help with that one, instead of proudly flying around along with "big guys," when they show you the routs how to bomb Crimea more conveniently?
