How is an average daily routine in Russia, meaning in terms of work hours, popular hobbies, interests and activities among people of all adult age groups etc
How much different is lifestyle between European Russia and urbanized native Siberian populations?
Do Russians go for coffee, and if yes, how often?
Does an average Russian rest/sleep during noon?
Some differences are there. Russians don't have huge homes very often such as in the west. It'harder to heat one in that climate. Russia has more extremes when it comes to weather and it can be downright dangerous/life threatening at times. Russians are tough people and very resourceful.
When i went there regularly I always had a hard time finding coffee because Russians were tea drinkers, maybe they have warmed up to coffee more now. The quality of the food was way better too but I hear that in places like Moscow and the bigger cities food quality is not as good as it used to be. I'm sure in smaller places it's still better than here in the west.
Most differences you see are small just like you would see anywhere in Europe while going from country to country. Russians work and slog just like the rest of us but have more freedom in some ways such as small home businesses and cottage industry. They also have the option to go live and raise a family in some small village far away from the rat race in the bigger cities. Here in America that is all but impossible. I know Russians who have done this.
If the US wants to play rough then maybe the Taliban needs some Kornet missles and Igla 4s. Plus everything else they may ask for.
Venezuela is none of Americas business.
It makes sense that Russia would support anti democratic terrorists in Afghanistan fighting the elected government. Since they are doing the same thing in Ukraine... Who gave people the idea that they can change their own leaders anyway? Its horrible, am I right?
In other related news, Russia's duma passed a law to criminalize disrespecting the government. Sounds like....Venezuela! And clearly Its Russia's business there due to Putin being the dictator champion of the world.
Didn't know that they had an election recently. Who says he lost the vote?
The opposition?
The US media?
The US State Department?
LMAO!!!!;
Nearly every country in the western hemisphere? The UN, OAS, the Lima Group, and the EU all rejected this fake election. But by all means, show us what Russia stands for in the world.
A rigged election counts in.... the eyes of the Kremlin (and Cuba, Syria etc.). Clearly he doesn't have the support of the people, but the very idea that leaders must rule by the will of the people is so very against all Putin stands for. They should be happy to starve for the great revolution!
Oh, erasure is certainly not a libertarian. And that is very positive that she isn't A libertarian imo is someone who glorifies... laissez-faire capitalism ( ) But she has not glorified it, quite the contrary.
That's what I gather too, that this whole "libertarian" stuff is yet again another attempt to reinvent lassez faire capitalism, under the new name and fancy new sauce. ( That's what it's all about, when you dig into it.)
And yes, I consider laissez-faire capitalism ( or the infamous "market will take care of everything" - the slogan of the nineties in Russia) atrocious.
Capitalism has its own positive sides of course; the ability to run private business is essential part of people's aspirations which should be respected. But everything is good in moderation ( which Russian ideologists totally rejected.)
And unrestricted capitalism is bound to nosedive in the same manner as unrestricted socialism.

Thank you, that's what I believe in too, that deep in their heart Russians are tea-drinkers.
When people hear "tea" they usually think "England," but they probably should think "Russia" instead)))
I am sure by now the snobby moscovites are going into fancy caffees and drink their latte in the morning or what's not, but comes afternoon time - tea is everywhere, without any particular thought or effort.
Friends stop by - that tea-kettle is flying on the stove top; unexpected guest or family members coming home - the tea kettle is right there, boiling right away. At that Russians have their own preferences - they like not just Indian tea, they like specifically Ceylon tea I've noticed. One particular British brand is very popular over there. It made it here to my local grocery store too, but interestingly enough it still tastes different than in Russia.
I guess the company figured out what sells over there, so they adjust their product according to the market's taste.

Who cares if it was real or fake, none of that matters unless the person the West wants is in. The West, US, UK, will even overthrow a government if the people elect a person they do not want. The US will support a military coup to oust an elected government if that government is not in agreement with the US. I do not think I need to provide examples, because you know this very well...
If Maduro was US friendly, guarantee the US would not be taking this "its all about democracy" stance, just as the US is silent about the lack of any resemblance of democracy in Saudi Arabia and China.
Latin America is littered with US intervention, and US backing of dictators, like Pinochet who came to power how? oh yes, a US backed coup against a democratically elected government.
So please, lets drop this BS about democracy, will of people, etc, as if the US and anyone really gives a s**t about it.
