- d1ffuz0r 10y agoObviously any country has problems. Good job, you found one
- vixen99 10y agoSorry I only found a trivial one! Will try harder. Seriously though - this is a dreadful statistic isn't it? I've marked you up - feeling better?
- guard-of-terra 10y agoYou've just highlighted the sort of reward that you get for the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove the Soviet regime and freeing the world from Nuclear War fears and offsetting the Doomsday Clock by full 11 minutes.
- smsm42 10y agoKeeping own culture is great. It would be even greater is people in Russia realized you can keep your own culture and also have some Western goodies like freedom of speech, freedom of press, democratic elections, tolerant civil society, independent courts that are ruled by the law and not a phone call from The Power (an unique Russian term - "Vlast'", or The Power, signifying the government as one monolith and blackbox-like entity having no connection with the people), and so on. Ah, and getting rid of the tradition of invading neighbors would be awesome too.
