What is life like in Russia are there opportunities to make decent money and live a good life? Is Vladimir Putin a good leader or could it be better and if it isn't great is it improving? Does Vladimir Putin have the Russians best interests at heart? There is so many questions I wish to ask about Russia please tell me everything.

If you make $1000/month, you're golden. If you make more than that, you'll have a good quality of life.
>>80072563

nice meme
It's good for nationalism, fighting the Jew World Order and Putin.
Otherwise it's a poor country with medium amounts of corruption due to organized crime
>>80072563
>$1000/month
>good quality of life
Seriously?
Thats like below minimum wage here in the USA
>>80072761
>medium amounts of corruption
top fucking kek
>>80072761
Give credit where its due. Sure Russia enherited some corruption from the USSR, but US "economic advisors" had a huge role to play.
How is Russia a poor country? Which other soccer team blows a quarter million dollars on an after party to celebrate their loss?
Russia is far from poor, its rather exceptionally stratified.
>>80071806
How fudged are the numbers that state that Putin is popular with the electorate?
> Does Vladimir Putin have the Russians best interests at heart?
No. What Hugo Chavez was to socialists Putin is to many of the world's right-wingers. He's complete shit and ruining his county but people just want to believe.
>>80073170
I guess I meant that there is a very wide wealth gap with very difficult means of socio economic mobility?
That means that most people enjoy a lower quality of life for more work compared to much of the spoiled USA.
>>80073076
You get the point. It doesn't have a globalist oligarchy that publicly assassinates people in the dozens like the US does, or at least we have more free media to report on the Clinton body count
We fight more corrupt and destructive wars than russia does for less justifiabl reasons too
>>80073037
Consider costs of living.
>>80074078
So if I brought a years worth of minimum wage earnings, i could live an upper middle class life style in russia?
At what point do they just kill you for your American shekels?
>>80074477
Upper middle? No.
Many people in East Europe aren't renting and own their homes, so rent might eat into your cash. You can live just fine, on ~1000$ a month, if you keep it reasonable.
>What is life like in Russia are there opportunities to make decent money and live a good life?
It is actually reasonably good. More so in Moscow/St. Petersburg, less so everywhere else. But if you've got head on shoulders, you can earn and earn well if you live in big cities.
Right now is not the best time for Russia though. It's not so much about the sanctions as it is about low oil prices. Canada is also going through the economic hardships because of this.
> Is Vladimir Putin a good leader or could it be better and if it isn't great is it improving?
He's pretty good. He might not be an absolute genius, but compared to Yeltsin, Russia today is heaven on Earth.
The standard of life has gone steadily up in Russia, especially compared to the '90s. In some ways, Russia is actually better than US: just 13% flat individual tax, free healthcare, free college, state-funded retirement plan; cheaper living standards in many cases, e.g. I pay 8$/month for 60mbps internet connection and I could even get more but I don't bother.
> Does Vladimir Putin have the Russians best interests at heart?
Certainly, especially compared to what we had with Yeltsin and Gorbachyov. Despite all the corruption, Putin has always been all about Russian interests and security. From removing corrupt bankers like Abramovich, Berezovsky, etc. to solving Chechnya and Crimea problems, he's done more to make Russia stronger than pretty much any politician in the last 30 years at least.
There is so many questions I wish to ask about Russia please tell me everything.
>>80073836
> Russian muslims meme
You fail to mention 2 things:
1) Those muslims were part of Russia from way before USSR because we conquered/assimilated them.
2) Muslims have no power in Russia at all. In Moscow subway they often stop anyone muslim-looking to check their documents. Whenever they make any racket, they face consequences. Even during rare neo-nazi/muslim conflicts, the state really doesn't go much against the former.
>>80073037
Russia has free medical ensuring. And the most important thing is that in Russia everyone calls wage amount of money they reciewe. Taxes are already been paid by employer.
>>80075172
Thanks for the in depth reply love you russianbros <3
>>80073403
Putin is very popular in Russia.
Most people attribute the failures to the duma, ministers and lower-level officials.
>>80075066
also, they dont pay property taxes like they do in the states. Can you believe, paying fucking 1% of the value of your home so that jamal can live a cushy existence in some section 8 slum in the middle of an expensive metropolis
Russians are basically niggers with nuclear weapons.
>>80071806
Its a shithole apart from the big cities. And the big cities have a high cost of living, no less than Europe.
Russia is an oil-based economy, facing a severe recession with little chance for recovery, as oil prices stay low. It has horrifying levels of corruption and 20 years less life expectancy than in Europe.
Putin may appeal to simple-minded people as a "strong leader" the same way Trump does, but he is basically a face of a system of oligarchs that is sucking the country dry.
Russia is interesting as it's basically a continent of its own, but economically, you're better of in East Europe - or even Mexico.
Some may argue with me, but I know what I am speaking about. I have been there as a diplomat.
>>80075066
Oh, one important thing about Russia. Mostly every home in Russia is owned by people, that lives in it.
Any way, mortgage interests are high in Russia, mortgage for many of Russians is not available.
>>80073037
While it's true, most stuff is cheaper here. See >>80075172
When you add up that 1) you have free healthcare and don't need an insurance 2) you don't have college debt 3) tax is 13% flat 4) stuff like electricity and public transport is DIRT cheap compared to Europe—etc, etc…—you realize living in Russia can actually be much cheaper than in US or Europe.
What's not cheaper though is import goods of course. From cars to clothing and electronics, everything costs the same. That's perhaps the most problematic part.
But you know, just an anecdote: I used to have very bad dental health. I had to remove 3 wisdom teeth, then have a Zoom whitening and several teeth restored. Everything cost me less than $1000 in today's money (well, it used to be slightly above $1500 2 years ago). I'm sure in US it would be way more expensive.
>>80073836
Things on your picture is happening because Moscow has only 4 mosques.
As far as I remember, whole Russia has less mosques than city of London.
>>80076729
So how does Merkel's snatch taste? Is it as bad as the assraping the muzzies give you daily?
>>80076729
> 20 years less life expectancy than in Europe.
I'd say it's offset by drug deaths and alcoholism (remember people drank heavily in USSR and their livers haven't got any cleaner). If you don't do any of that, it's about the same as in Europe.

Where are you going?
Thread is much better without brainwashed butthurt belt posters.
>What is life like in Russia are there opportunities to make decent money and live a good life?
Life is pretty good. The best part about it,at least for me,is even if you don't really make that much money,you can still live reasonably comfortably. I'm currently a student in Moscow,renting an apartment while I study,and even with a pretty shitty job as basically an intern in a small tech company(30k a month minus the rent and bills) I can afford good food and to go out reasonably often. The thing is,a lot of people complain how corrupt everything is and how nepotism is everywhere,and that to have a good job you have to be basically born into it,be connected,but if you are decently smart you can get a job quite easily,a lot of people just don't want to put in the work.
>Is Vladimir Putin a good leader?
Not really,in my opinion,but there's nobody to take his place. Most of the people who came into power alongside him are corrupt as fuck,so it's obvious why he's not very keen to get rid of all of them.
>Does Vladimir Putin have the Russians best interests at heart?
I don't really think so. He has the interests of the country in the first place,the people living in it are second place.

Russia is a collapsing country. It's no less degenerate that the West, maybe even more. More divorces, more abortion, more drug addicts, more HIV cases, more alcoholism etc.
>>80078625

FBI and Co has to make make this play to look like good guys(this whole Shillary thing).
KGB and Co Just say:"yes we are corrupt and Putin is dictator." And life goes on(like in aftermath of panama leaks).
Really makes you think. When western career politicians stop this BS and show their true faces?
>>80076659
Abortions have always been free in Russia. There's no shitshow about it, no one cares about them because "muh embryo is a human being" idiocy.
Divorces in Russia aren't huge spectacles in which women get everything. There's no women-centric liberal bias in Russian law.
The difference is, Russia is coming from a shitty background.
HIV treatment/awareness has been lacking in Russia since USSR. The rest is the same case of coming from poor background. It's not much better in post-soviet countries—same as Lithuania, Latvia and so on.
>>80078052
Russia has like 20- 30 million Muslims. The entire EU with 5 times the population and 40-50 million Muslims. It's fucked it's the fastest growing demographic by far and the only thing accounting for the rise in birth rates Muslims will make up most of the conscripts in 5 years. Within 30 years or so it will be a nuclear sharia state.
>>80071806

>>80078456
Most of them are looking the same. Just platform, sometimes bridge across railroad, tickets control terminals.
Russia is like the Appalachia of Europe.
Despite the corruption, economic hardship and substance abuse, there are a lot of great places and cultural aspects to be found there. The people value faith and hard work, but at the same time they come across as a bit too proud to accept outside help. Though, who can really blame them given how much they've been let down in the past?
>>80079079
Piss off retard I just wanted a perspective from Russians about their country can all the retards just fuck off out of this thread please.
I wouldnt take the word of English speaking, clearly educated upper-middle class Russians to heart.
I know you have no other option, but theres a reason why Russia has lower GDP than fucking India and Brazil.
>>80078962
But you don't care about degeneracy in general, or about degeneracy in Russia?
And if you want to learn more about Russia then read "Letters from Russia" by Astolphe de Custine. The guy was in favor of an absolutist monarchy, but when he came back from Russia, he actually supported some criticism made by the revolutionaries in France

Yeah, it's called sanctions, if they weren't constantly stonewalled then they would probably be top 5 in GDP considering they were top 8 before sanctions.

Is this really true?
Because I am not too sure about because I visited Gymnazium 11 in St. Petersburg and the student guide there told it that it isn't free
>>80078641
>Are things such as finding a job as an English teacher fairly open to outsiders? Or do Russians only hire Russians?
It's open,but you have to go through an agency,and they usually only teach groups,which are less lucrative than individual studies.
>Is it really as sad as everyone says? Is there a gloomy fell to everything?
Not really. I guess it seems that way to burgers because everyone doesn't smile all the time like a lobotomized monkey.
>What are some things that Russians really hate about Non-Russians?
Speaking of our South-Eastern "brothers",their presence. Nobody likes hachi.
>What is a personal estimate on the amount of your country that can speak more than one language?
A lot of people now the very basics,as in Hello my name Olya I live Moscow,but very few know English well,and I'm not even talking about other languages.
>How are the girls? Are they really 10/10s like the internet says?
Depends on where you live,Moscow-Saint Petersburg a lot of them are in the 8-10 range,but to say that all of them are like that would be an exagerration.
>What are some fun things you guys do in your spare time? Do Russians often have gaming as a hobby? Or moreso nightclubbing?
Hobbies are varied,in that regard it's the same as everywhere. Although one thing different would be going to dacha,a country house. Almost everyone got one,and spending time there is a good pasttime. Concerning nightclubbing,have someone local with you,almost every nightclub has at least a few drunk assholes.

>>80078641
>Are things such as finding a job as an English teacher fairly open to outsiders?
In Moscow/St.P definitely.
>Is it really as sad as everyone says? Is there a gloomy fell to everything?
Not really. Though people are not as talkative to strangers, and wearing smile all the time is not really a thing. So neutral russian faces may indeed seem gloom to permasmiling americans.
>What is a personal estimate on the amount of your country that can speak more than one language?
Dunno, not many.
>How are the girls? Are they really 10/10s like the internet says?
The average level of beauty is a lot higher. Like in NYC you'll see a lot of black, asian, mongrel shitfaced women. So Russia has "whiteness" advantage which improves the average woman looks, and also a lot less man-jawed women overall.
>What are some fun things you guys do in your spare time? Do Russians often have gaming as a hobby? Or moreso nightclubbing?
Everything you can imagine. And nighclubbing in Moscow/St.P are better than anywhere else. Luxury parties, techno parties, hip-hop parties, rock venues, all night long raves, for every taste.

Free college for top 50(number depends on college) students based on enrollment exams. It's like this: if college needs 200 people to enroll for a certain program, 50 would study free, other 150 would pay.
>>80079580
The sanctions targeted some of Putin's inner circle and some Russian banks. The Crimean invasion scared off all foreign investment. If the sanctions were real like they did with Iran it would have collapsed now. Banning Russia from SWIFT, and an embargo on their products and exports.
Except the West has no interest in Russia actually collapsing since it would create a chaos zone that cannot be controlled.
>>80079644
If you do decently on the state exam after finishing school,you can get into college on government funding. The exception would be exclusively paid colleges,but they are usually shit and just do the degrees-for-cash thing.

Gabon has 1.4 million people. Russia has 100x their population at 140 million in the world's largest country with various disparities in development.
But still get Periscope on your phone and check out all the Russians who stream from there. I was talking to some Korean looking chick on there from Yakutsk and she went to a modern school, where people had modern clothes and everyone had smartphones. It's not that bad.
Russians also do more with less. And I don't think USD is as relevant to non-Western economies anyway.
Having been to the major cities in Western Russia, it was definitely livable. and it was nice to see so many people at once and yet 95% were white. It was a weird feeling almost, I'm not used to big crowds in cities being that white (in a good way).
Lots of beautiful girls too, obviously.
>>80079958
Where have you heard that bullshit? Every college,hell,every particular major has their own percentages on how many students can be hird on government funding. And not all universities hold enrollment exams,some just take the state exam's results.

No free speech. Russia is multicultural by design.
>How hard is it to get gun and how hard is it to carry one for self defense in public legally?
Impossible. Gun laws are extremely strict and self-defence is limited to gas sprays and non-lethal firearms. Your best hope for real guns is hunting permit and it's extremely limited too.
>>80071806
> What is life like in Russia are there opportunities to make decent money and live a good life?
For business it`s libertarian paradise. Government is mafia, you can bargain on anything and bribe anyone.

Comparing to what? I`d say he could be much better, but it`s not the worst case.
> Does Vladimir Putin have the Russians best interests at heart?
Not really. Mostly his friends interest. I cant really see problems with that, as nation is the best way to promote interests of elite. But he is still playing numb around soviet korenization.

>>80080396
So? How did sanctions stiffle Russia?
Corruption everywhere, thieving politicians openly flaunt their schemes because they know they won't get punished, the police are pretty much a legalized mafia, regular people want nothing more than to see those around them suffer.

>>80079875
>How much is free speech allowed against jews, muslims and niggers?
Feel free to talk shit about them all day. Free speech means they are free to get in your face, also.
>How hard is it to get gun and how hard is it to carry one for self defense in public legally?
Not really hard to get one (just a bunch of paperwork).
You can't carry one in public. And in fact you can't use one for self-defense, because the court will find you guilty if some kind of murder/manslaugher/accident leading to death etc. 100% of the time.
>Pretty much what 1st/2nd amendment rights does Russia allow?
Can't really talk shit about government in public (a complex matter really), no support of Nazism ever (due to WW2 obv.), so not that great. in private though - no polit corr. bullshit, so feel free to shittalk about everything and everyone.
No 2nd amendment rights whatsoever.

Not quite sure about that but there you have to own a shotgun for five years with any incidents to buy a rifle. Still pretty pointless and >>80080985

>>80081188
>So in other words you lived through the worst time period in the 90s and never saw the improvements that happened under Putin.
No, I've seen improvements that happened under Putin. They happened through 2002-2006. After that something clicked and he went full Kim Jong Un. At first there were local "Patriotic Act" moves and other civilian surveillance. Then corruption and legalized mafia spread. And then everything else went to shit.

Just googled it. http://www.gymn11vo.ru/ . Not really—it's just a state school with somewhat better learning standards. Still paid from budget.
It's absolutely true that every major has quotas for budget-funded tuition. But you don't need to be a nerd gook to get it. Scoring reasonably well on state tests is enough in most cases unless you want to enter MGU or something like that. Then prepare your anus.

So you wouldn't have quality food and meds.
Beating that hasn't caused hard consequences to health isn't criminal change. Womans are going to look at you as purse with money and potential husband-ticket out of this shithole. By the way if you're going to work in the office, you're going to make a lot less money then you could make anywhere in west countries.
Russia is third world.

Better find someone in internets, idk.
If IRL - find someone, go to a party, get wasted, and on the morning you will probably find out that you have now like 20 new friends, new gf, bill for repairing broken things and terrible hangover.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia overtook Russia in terms of GDP.
>>80081581
Fair enough, I'm still not a fan of the direction our country is going in either though.
Americans think it's impossible to have positive change but the gigantic leap from the 90s to the 2000s was more than huge in Russia.
Just imagine what Trump could do if he gets elected. We're the most powerful country in the world with a shit load of dilapidated, decrepit cities that are basically a war zone with infrastructure that is falling apart.
That needs to change. Send the military out to Chiraq Detroit Baltimore etc if that's what you need to bring peace.

In big cities in russia you make easily over 1k or 1.5k
in germany even some qualified workers dont get that much
>>80082783
Yeah, think I've heard about it from a friend.
But it depends heavily on a major. Economic and IT majors are overcrowded as hell in any college, so they set the quotas high. Anything else? Sometimes they can't even get enough people just to fill budget quotas. They're so low, you have to be seriously retarded not to pass.
>>80083964
1k is an upper middle class salary. The average is about 600-700.
>>80084162
It's a nigger construction worker in Russia wearing a shirt that advertises his employer. I guess you could also translate the text as "we work like blacks".
>>80084162
Plenty of niggers in Russian(predominantly big cities) universities and they might just pick up some jobs.
Also, not american-tier niggers. Those are OK niggers.
>>80084162
Because he works in a russian construction company,obvs.
>>80084425
In my uni Economic and IT have 0 budget,all the places are paid.
>>80083655
It is a vulgar expression which roughly translates to "we work black" which basically means "we work without paying taxes".
Small text says "starting at 7 rubles for a square centimeter."
Step your game up.
>>80084162
The shits says "Хyяpим пo-чepнoмy", which is a vulgar way to say "we work hard" with an additional layer of meaning because it can also be read as "we work (like) black". "Working like a Nergo" is a Russian expression that means "Working very hard for little compensation", basically "working like a slave". I suppose that's because the first image for the word "slave" is a black slave on American plantations or something.

Thanks for all the replies I'm off to bed glad this thread went well and a lot of Russians responded.
>>80085106
>>80078956
You decide.
I want to live in Russia, preferably St. Petersburg, but I'm afraid english will not do, and it would take a lot of time to learn russian.
I am a computer programmer and usually work with companies in England, Germany, the US, etc. I am also worried that it will be harder from Russia (or any other non-EU country really).
I got a few 100k euros in the bank, which would keep me while I get settled. I think the best way would be to find a russian girlfriend and get into the language and culture and stuff that way. I'm not some weirdo, if I move there the intention is to become Russian, just like russians that live in Sweden are swedish; a relationship with a russian woman just seems like the best way to get "into the system".
St. Petersburg is perfect imo. It's beautiful, and close to northern Europe.
I hope these damned sanctions will stop and that there would be better relations up here. Fighting Russia and at the same time taking in a bunch of middle east shits is as backwards as it gets...

There are ways to avoid minimum wage in every country in the World, it is still an indicator of the absolute minimum people receive on the basis of lawful work.

The other Russian's in this thread are either delusional or being intentionally disingenuous. This is the most honest answer of the thread.
Not that Russia isn't without its benefits (hardships tend to mold a more down-to-earth collective), but the extent to which the country is plagued with corruption and economic maladies makes moving here completely inadvisable. Not to mention, there are no future prospects.
People still kill to *leave* here.
