Russians have a cultural tradition to never speak bad about places and people who receive us when we are guests. I gather that you are running some sort of tourism operation? I find it disgusting that you are in charge of showing Russia to others, while having so much contempt for it (subliminal or otherwise) yourself.

:(

@dmitriy40 I do not run a tourist operation, what I do is clearly written in my description and in the description to many films also. I have no contempt for Russia and in my opinion I have in general been very pro Russian.

[dmitriy40]

And while we are on the subject of travel, could you please recommend some economically depressed place in the UK, which represents total failure of capitalism and democracy, or at least some place that could be interpreted by a clueless stranger as an example of such failure? So that this clueless stranger could walk around with a camera and make sly remarks about British society.

Could you?

Pretty please!!!

[alanheath]

@dmitriy40 I can't think of anywhere.

[dmitriy40]

@alanheath WOW! No economically depressed areas in the entire UK?!? No ghettos, no poverty, no unemployment, nothing to shove somebody's nose in and declare: "Look! Capitalism failed here!"??? I'm amazed! I live in the richest country on earth, and there are plenty of such places here! UK must be paradise! No wonder half of Poland moved there! ...Or maybe someone is just under delusion of perfection.

@dmitriy40 Where did I say that there are no depressed areas in the UK?

[dmitriy40]

These same idiots from Manhattan could have just traveled 1 mile north -- to the South Bronx (a place they surely never been to!) -- and found a LOT MORE social problems! LOL In fact, if they find themselves there after dark, their fellow Americans are likely to seriously assault and rub them, leaving them to die in some urine-soaked ditch.

[dmitriy40]

From time to time, I stumble on some idiot Americans (upper crust, Manhattan), who have similar experiences of Russia/USSR trips -- they went there full of negative expectations and biases, they were looking for low quality of life, social problems, and naturally, they found many! They are always eager to describe bad experiences.

I always find it hard to contain my laughter -- what was the point spending thousands on a trip across the ocean, looking for social problems?

[alanheath]

@dmitriy40 Who is looking for social problems? I suggest you ask that person.

[dmitriy40]

I find it hilarious to listen to you -- sadly, your obvious raging hatred of what you may perceive as "socialism" may have interfered with your enjoyment of the trip. That subliminal slip, when you confuse a likeness of an architect for a window washer -- it's priceless! "Hmm, what do we have here? Intellectuals? There supposed to be pictures of WORKERS!!!!" LOL

[alanheath]

@dmitriy40 I get the impression that your raging hatred of anyone opposed to socialism is therefore the reason of your possible hatred.

I use words like 'impressive' to describe a station - you clearly miss it. I also mention the exploitation of the workers under socialism - no doubt you are one of the exploiters of normal people, or at least you identitify with them and it is this which causes you to regret the demise of this workers' 'paradise'.

@alanheath I was very happy when USSR fell.

I am very disappointed by how little real democracy Russia has today.

I hate Stalin, my grandfather was executed in 1938, during those "purges".

But I am very irritated by people who confuse dictatorship and socialism.

Your hilarious confused reaction to seeing a pianist on one of the frescoes shows just how much bias and ill will you brought with you to Moscow. No wonder "you don't miss it", as you said in your other post.
