Massive size, Communism, Hammer and Sickle, AK-47, hot chicks, Kostya zsu, Cold War, Chernobyl, Stalin, Nuclear Weapons, Grand Theft Auto 4.

The list can go on and on.

 US's bipartisan system may have a lot of flaws and, but at least you can voice your opinions in public (even the very, very extreme ones) without fearing for your own safety. Most opposition leaders in Russia aren't so lucky, and are very familiar with physical violence (handed out by angry mobs, militia and the police), random arrests and even assassinations.  Plus, every significant Russian media outlet is either outright controlled or heavily regulated by the government - all the US government has is Fox News.

Thats so true :) They are like some cold angels ....and I like that :P A lot . The only ones that can rival the beauty of a Russian model is a Japanese one , but they are much softer in their looks :P

Oh BTW Mise : if what you say is so important , than wouldent you die for it . Yes there ar still many secrets in that country , that can kill you , but than compare it to China , Burma or Korea ( N ) and then tell me is Russia overall a liberal country or not ;)
