Were there any independent parties in last Duma elections? I havent found any in the bulletin. |
Yeah well, search communist party or zhirinovsky)) He's a funny guy.

For example, the Basques in Spain. Could we see a new tactic of acquiring resources and land by immigration and elections along border regions? |
In my point of view, there is - Caucasus. Russian government pumps tons of money into its development to make it loyal and stop separatists. It can not last forever, one day we will have the choice - start new war or leave that territory.

Not so much. If you get lucky, you'll meet english talking citizens. But overal, 90% of russians don't know any language except Russian. Kinda shame :(((

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I think as everywhere. Somebody are lucky, somebody are not. Some regions are in big problems, some are much better.
Well at least now is mostly easy to find a job if you can do something. Unemploiment is quite low. Problem with jobs are because its a LOT of people with a diplomas of economists/lawyers, but not so much working places for them. If you can work with you hands - you can always get enough money for a living.
Average wages are around 1000 USD/month. In big cities - much more, in the countryside - much less. Taxation is very easy - we have income tax of 13% - and that is all you care about. And even those taxes are calculated by your company. So in Russia if somebody tells you his salary - its usually 'clear money' after all the taxes.
Prices are hard to compare directly. Something is cheap, something is expensive - they differ very much.
Law... Its hard to say. I don't break it. And only time I spoke to police was when I get very drunk (i was 17 years old) and passed on the street. ))) They took me to local police station, waited until i start speaking and understanding something, give me a glass of tea, asked if i could go home by myself and let me go. )))
Usually policemen on the streets are friendly.
To live is not hard really. Education is quite cheap, High education is free if you good enough or you can pay smth like 500-1000 USD per half a year, if you go by payed education.
Its hard to buy yourself a flat in big cities - and its a real problem. But I think its more or less the same everywhere for the youngmen! )

Apple - apple fans do not get much respect among youth.
Android - popular
Google - not really, Yandex is more popular
MCDonalds - popular
Windows - everyone uses it and hates it
Xbox - the majority of russian gamers play on PC (so do I), but xbox is a bit more popular then ps3 as it was hacked earlier
Steam - its popularity is growing, but level of piracy stays too high, however

doesn't really matter if only 10% speak english so long as those 10% are working the tourist districts and public transit ticket booths. i mean, places like cambodia was a breeze for me to travel and it's not because a majority of the citizens speak english. ..just that they do have an infrastructure that is very tourist friendly.
