Someone explain the sad russian meme for me.
I don't know shit about life in Russia, but most people I know that visited Moscow, said that it was a beautiful city with happy citizens
Moskvabad is only like 8-10% of the overall country population (about a half of which are not ethnically russian either). The rest of the country stays more or less 3rd world up to this day, thus all the sadness.

But is that the only reason? Most of the world is 3rd world. Here it's 3rd world and nobody gives a shit

Brazil is warm and colourful. Here we still have a plenty of old, grey and ugly soviet buildings. Also there is a lot of dirt everywhere, in the spring especially, because of shitty or non-existent asphalt.

>But is that the only reason?
Obviously not. I guess it has something to with climate zones, you have subequatorial weather most of the time and here it's mostly overcast and/or cold, damp and windy.

Forgot to add, low happiness is partially soviet heritage. 2015 was the year with least suicides over past 50 years.
