On the contrary, there are several Anti-Soviets who managed who managed to pull it off when dumped on poor Israel.

I'm going to have to give big kudos for the russian tabloid media for unveiling the hidden secrets of finnish social services. Nobody else has had the balls to cover how they systematically target the children of russian residents for court-ordered custody, in other words throwing the small children into jails and concentration camps. Even the russian tourists are not safe, the hands of the social services extend everywhere.

The local restaurants hate all the attention though, been a real bummer for them. No more keeping russian children on the menu.

I, for one, will miss the spicy makkara.

Yeah, the media trashes them real hard. Seems like you've got a serious problem, even if it's dramatically exaggerated by media.

Jeff claimed that Russian schools are in disrepair and need updating. I've showed that his info is outdated. Then he started the comparison thread. Which seems to compare architecture and decor style.

You've said that I posted grade school classrooms that are very different from middle and high school. That's not true.

You may have misunderstood my intent. I was just saying explaining that the photo Jeff posted that you said looked like a prison was for middle school or HS students, that's why it didn't look like the gradeschool classroom that you posted. At that moment, you were comparing apples to oranges, that's all I meant to say.

But I posted STANDARD classrooms, Soviet style. I've then posted a modern grade school classroom to demonstrate the difference.

Yeah...
I've been reading about those abuses one after another, taking a note of ruthless social services in Finland;
I mean small thing like breaking the school wall with someone's head - quite an ordinary thing in Finnish schools I imagine - a daily occurrence, yet what an effort it takes on behalf of Russian-Somalian family to receive such simple acknowledgement in order to avoid any senseless accusations of child abuse.
C'mon, don't your students playfully smash each other's heads into the walls at school, so what's a big deal - write a paper proving parent's innocence so they wouldn't have to look for protection in more civilized countries.
