    Well...you know it to be true ...viska, many RuZzians DON'T have indoor crappers and live below poverty line.

    I see in Orsk and Orenburg.....locals have been drinking water from puddles?....Oy....that's rough. Wells are polluted from floods, and many homes destroyed. One RuZzian brushed his teeth from polluted water...shortly after....40F fever and vomiting for 4 days?, gospodeh......I'd be curious how many drowned?

    Homeless and beggars in US can easily live on the street....it's warm..."Bill".

    In Mafiosi they just freeze to death and are quickly disposed of.

    I do not know if the metrics are the same. Most probably not. One maybe should evaluate for that how much a person could afford him/herself when he/she has an income at the poverty level in different countries. But anyway, it is now a turn of zoomy to show the origin of the number 70% that live below the poverty line in Russia. As it stands now - this number is about 10%.

    No, zoomy I do not know that this is true. Many- it is not a number. You need to quantify and provide a reference for the numbers you state. In fact, if I look around me, I do not see anyone who do not have a toilet at home :-D I also do not remember when I saw last time people sleeping on the streets in Russia. But whenever I visited San Francisco or Seattle I saw lots of homeless people.

    Fake numbers are fake. Which is why Putler hides the data as it would prove his made up numbers are just that.... Made up.

    If Russia is so technologically advanced and has such an amazing economy.....why is it that 22% of Russians don't have indoor plumbing?

    Why not go somewhere outside of the few major urban centers? Afraid to see the real Russia and find out what a Potemkin façade their apparent urban wealth really is?

    Bla bla bla... Your 70 percent proved to be some **** you digged from UFO forums. :grin: I suppose you went to Siberia yourself to count 50 mln people without toilets? :grin: You said you were originally from the US, but Mike has discovered that in fact you are an immigrant in the US. Was it so bad in Batum that you escaped to the US?

    I am from US....not an immigrant.

    I can give you my land location in SDak....but then again , why bother, you'll claim it's fake....:)

    Mike discovered what?....that he tells tall tales?....I've outed him on that...viskochem.:)

    Many RuZzians live below poverty rates...viskochem...Siberia (or most of it) is a frozen hell hole, and sparsely populated....I think you know that.

    You mention UFOs ....a LOT....visko? You must believe in them.

    We have one at Area 51?:)

    Moscow & Pete are usually the only 2 cities RuZzian tee-rolls focus on....hell holes like Chita?....they don't focus on.

    You don't have a stellar record when it comes to honesty or objectivity, so I'm just going to call bovine excrement on your claims.

    In reality, the most of Russian countrysides look like this:

    And the guy posting this is Russian.

    Biggest country on earth by area, yet we tend to see very little of it in the media. It's up to the locals to show us what the rest is like via social media and YouTube, and it's rarely a good sight.

    Plenty of rural America looks like that too.

    Our problem is that a lot of our big cities look worse.

    The problem is that after Nostradamus we don’t have respected fortune tellers, especially predicted Russia future.
    For example some fortune teller predicted that ‘special military operation’ will end up with success in 3 weeks.

    Our slums almost seem like luxury neighborhoods compared to most RuZzian dumps ..."Bill".

    The homeless are fortunate to be here. They would freeze to death, get eaten by bears or sent to die in Ukraine if they were in Russia today.

    Indeed, you will never find in any big city, in Siberia or far East the same **** on the streets that exists in the large cities in the US.

    Mafiosi is a $hithole in many places outside Moskva and Pete....visko. Like I said before.....our "hoods" are luxury neighborhoods in comparison to your semi frozen crap holes.....like this Chita...as one example.

    1/3rd of their population doesn't have a toilet. Seriously, they have an outhouse.

    Yeah, and I think that has long been the case in the former USSR. Their production went into wasteful programs determined by committees, not into the kinds of comforts we take for granted. It left Russia and a lot of eastern European countries with some really poor living standards even after the USSR's demise, thanks also to the corruption and kleptocracy that have persisted since. The formal end of the USSR was only the beginning of significant changes in that part of the world, and obviously has come to benefit some more than others. Russia now seems to be moving back that way instead of progressing since it never lost its Soviet-minded leadership and that is the only way they know how to govern.

    US main cities are shitholes, worse than Chita. People in Chita at least live in houses and not on the streets like in the US.
