His girlfriend came to Moscow and married him too. I'd like to hear her side in this and whether or not she really slapped him upside the head.

Please, which are the most active music forums in Russia? In Google I can't find any, probably because they are in Cyrillic. I don't care if the forums are in a ciric because I would use the Google translator.

I had heard that the most famous is VKontakte, a Russian online social media, but I do not understand anything how that website works.

It's an analogue of Facebook, but I can't say anything else. I don't use social media.

Isn’t city data forum pretty much social media

Social media: websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

I would say city data qualifies as social media

Since this pertains to Russia, I'll stick my question here.
Read this excerpt from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. Quite surprised that Russia had the same secondary punishment as in Tudor England. Are there more similar examples today?

“People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.”

VKontakte is Russian secret service, FSB and police controlled social network. Don't touch it!
