A few facts of Russia from a russian citizen:

1. I didn't ever see a wild bear.
2. I don't like vodka. But, I have to admit, most russians drink it regularly.
3. Most people think that Putin is our hero.
4. Most people think that we didn't takeover the Crimea, we just return it back.
5. Yes, our roads are awful and Moscow is near to a transport collapse.
6. Yes, all prices increased in 30% since we annexed the Crimea and the USA used sanctions. I can't afford to buy two kg shrimps every week anymore. I have to manage with only an one kg.
7. In Russia no one reckons that law is for people. Everyone thinks than if there is no Law, life would be better.

Have you got any questions? I want to train my english and I need human intercourse.

I think this is the Russians' biggest problem.

I agree!
It's difficult to imagine how behaviour of drivers change when you cross border. In Russian no one obeys speed limitation. If you will drive too slow (though in accord with speed limitation), people will closely drive up your car and signal you: "Get out from left line, we want to drive at 90 miles in an hour".

Hopefully Russian citizens know better. Putin is your biggest impediment to security, prosperity, and freedom.

Wasn't Putin a protégé of Adolph Hitler.

Well, I'm about 90% Portuguese (or more) and I don't like wine. And it was a staple in my home growing up.

SAT, if it wasn't Putlin, it would be another despot. The Russians admire so called tough leaders...... they always have. You could probably find some elderly Russians sighing for Stalin. "He wasn't all bad........"...

In America we have those people too. They are called libertarians, and they would rather have business tycoons and gangsters control the streets and cities than the government.
