People take a shower every day, wash in the bathroom, they do not save water. Cleanliness is the guarantee of health. And they change clothes every day, do not go dirty and sweaty. In Russia, people don't wear pajamas on the street. Homeless people are also rarely seen on the street. There are social shelters for them, where they are given documents, they are fed and treated free of charge, and they are provided with jobs. In Russia, normal marriages are man + woman. They do not litter on the streets, there are signs so that garbage is thrown into special bins for garbage

I've been there, it is a beautiful city. The palaces are breathtaking, the Romanov palace is the Hermitage Museum. I was told when I was there, "If one looks at every display or exhibit for only one minute it will take between ten to eleven years to see everything". Catherine the Great's palace has a very large room covered in Amber. The czars had these palace projects mainly to provide work for hundreds of different trades and for national pride. Just this one city is a treat but there are many others though smaller throughout Russia.

Not to mention, Russia has the breathtaking *“Golden Ring”* popular tourist route where Russia once started out as a country, with numerous 1000+ year old cathedrals and monasteries. *Stalingrad* (now Volgograd) - the legendary city in which the most important and game changing battle of WW2 happened with its astounding WW2 heritage. *Grozny* - fantastic city in the Caucasus. *Siberia* - often called “the most precious gem in the Russian imperial crown” and “the lungs of the planet” with its fantastic taiga and wilderness, with numerous national parks. *Altai* - in the heart of Asia with terrific lakes and mountains, *Karelia* - with fascinating Scandinavian landscapes, *lake Baikal* - the deepest lake in the world with unforgettable nature, *Kamchatka* - in the Far East with its incredible volcanoes and so on and so forth.

Brazilian summer clothes are very interesting, but here we have warm weather for 3-5 months a year, sometimes in January it is -25-30. There are no problems with trendy summer clothes, there are problems with trendy winter clothes, oddly enough.

Also there are a lot of high profile Rhythmic gymnastics girls with talent and aspirations but they ARE ALREADY QUITE CONFORTABLE WITH THEIR LIVES. so that is also sad factor.

@@gate7clamp After covid, online stores have also developed strongly in Russia. However, not so much that the shops are empty. But there is no problem with theft at all, compared to America. You have very strange rules with respect to robbers. They can literally steal openly, and you only have the right to call the police. In our country, if a thief is noticed, most likely ordinary people will catch him, hand him over to the guards, and only then they will wait for the police.

This mall is not a view of Russian life! Unless you think 5th Ave in NYC is a view of America. Got out in '81 and will probably never return with the censorship, lawlessness, lack of a free press or judiciary and loss of civil society. I visited right after the collapse and there was such hope and excitement - travel, buying things, having fun! Now I am depressed at what's happened and fear for the future of that nation. I hope you can go and experience good people (not a mall - lol) because there are still many left.
