The shear size of that place blows my mind. Just look at the Kamchatka peninsula alone, it's longer than my country and that's only a small fraction of it.
I can't wait for Russia to become a libertarian paradise and start massive colonization of Siberia with Eurabian refugees.

this,
by the way, this is now a /comfy/ thread
There is huge heavy industry cluster in Ural mountains.
3rd most populated city - Novosibirsk
Far East is also good, Vladivostok is nice.
There is life, work and civilization in Siberia. It's just more compact, than in west part.
A wide belt of it running along the border is more or less like much of European Russia, which is precisely why the Russians expanded into it so organically. I've been in summertime and it's actually quite pleasant. North of that is taiga coniferous forest, good for logging and sitting on top of a lot of gas and gold and so on. North of that is the tundra, which is pretty bleak, though with certain rich deposits of nickel and so on. The far eastern pacific coast part is a world of its own, with different climate and general feel. Russians are majority almost everywhere, despite what roach shitposters are saying above. Those natives of appreciable population size what nothing to do with Turkey, and are well assimilated into the Russian state. The defence minister is from Tuva, for instance.

The Russians have prisons there.
I did a year in Durham. It was alright.
Nothing like a Russian prison. We had nice food, family visits and work. I worked as a chef. The food is so important in prison.
Prison should not take away human dignity. We all are human.
I do voluntary work. I won't name the organisation.
>>69923461
Also Mikhail Krug sang about it. That's how I heard of it. Seems pretty comfy, desu.
>>69919637
What the fuck is this, Russia?
>>69919222
We do have more or less cheap suburbs (well, near the Moscow at least, won't speak for other parts of the country).
The problem is - you have to own a car in this case, otherwise it's pointless. And here comes the other problem - roads quality and infrastructure in general.
The other problem is "centralization" or so to say. It's pretty typical, that most of the workplaces will be in the city, so most people people prefer to live in those blocks, closer to work, instead of wasting 2-4 hours in jams etc.
Last, but not least - people just used to live in these. Imaging that 4-5 generations living one way - next 4-5 generation will live the same way, most likely.
>>69910186
literally nothing
>>69919348
Low taxes (13%) is one big lie you hear everyday. We have more taxes, actually, lol. 38% or so, when combined.
>>69923545
its not comfy, its one of shitholes which you see on meme pics about dirty and poor Russia. Krokodil and gopniks, you know
>>69923732
its just sculptures of cats, you can read history about them on that page.
>>69921331
But how long will that last?
Western Siberia is being robbed by Western Russia and there already minorities that don't like Russia, like Tatars, Chuvash

That's fair. I studied history in college, so I was always at least moderately fascinated by the remoteness of the city, and the history of the work camps there. Also, I love hunting and fishing, and I think it would be amazing to get out there into some untouched wilderness and work some untouched territory.

>>69910186
Is this a Europa universalis thread?
>>69923538
Well, we have prisons everywhere. It's just that east is known for gulags etc.
The thing is - in our culture imprisonment is punishment. Not isolation, like in UE, for example.
>>69910562
I think you mean turkic... which is not correct either. Turkics are mostly decent folk minus Islam. Turks however are a totally different breed.
can some 4chan russians clarify for me, on dvach they hate their country.
Do you like Russia? are the memes true to some extent?

1. Commieblocks are cheaper then same level houses in suburb.
2. You will spend too may money for heating. Especially in Siberia or Northern European Russia. Tьх, many Russians in South live in their own houses.

We have a certain amount of self-hating libertards here which are just as bad or maybe even worse than your self-hating "you're fucking a white male" libertards. They are also mostly active on the internet and pretty irrelevant otherwise.
Well, do you hate your mother? She may not be the most beautiful, rich or whatever woman but she's still your mother.
>>69925134
Russians hate their country while it's soft and peaceful, they hate career politicians and businessmen.
There were huge protests during the last elections, despite Russia being at it's economical peak.
Then Ukraine happened and later Syria, Russia's economy started tanking but the patriotism and Putin's popularity rose.
Basically Russians don't care as long as they get to go to a just war with a Czar leading them. Russia is a perfect Deus Vult material.

>>69910186
I have friends in Chita (Trans-Baikal region), Novosibirsk (largest Russian city after Minsk, Central-South Siberia), Aldan (south Yakutia) and Tomsk. I also knew a faggot from Nadym (gas mining city near Yamal). And there's an oil driller from Sakhalin. And one insane chick from Anadyr in Chukotka.
Sakhalin, the Kuriles, Kamchatka, Chukotka, Kolyma are not Siberia. These are the Far East and are soewhat peculiar.
Sakhalin is quite populated. Much oil and very rewarding jobs on the rigs, but high prices on everything. Half a year Sakhalin is barely accessible by sea, and underwater tunnel started by Stalin was scrapped by Khruschev. Basically a very cold Britain or large Hokkaido. Not much to do except mine oil, coal, chop timber and catch crab/fish.
Nadym is great for shift job on gas rigs of Gazprom. Also great if you're an aboriginal. Also great if you're into hunting seals and other fur critters or like to breed Reindeers. Otherwise it's frozen hell of suffering for a Eurocuck, and not really pleasant for a Russian.
Chukotka has much snow, Chuckhi aboriginals (all drunks by now) and gold. Not much to do but dig gold. Was heavy into whale hunting, now - not so much. Chukchi used to be the most ferocious and bloodthirsty savages of Eurasia and much of North-West America (raiding across Bering Strait to kill, rob and burn), who fought three wars against Russians. They letter became addicted to tea and vodka, and so pacified.
Local Russians are strange. In the head.
Yakutia is full of Yakuts, that are short and angry vaguely Turkic people. Well, full for a country twice the size of Fennoscandia yet with barely 1 million people. Russians dig gold, mine diamonds and chop wood. Yakuts drink, fuck ponies and misbehave. Sakhalar - Russian-Yakut hybrids - combine those activities.
South Siberia is indistinguishable culturally and economically from "General Russian Core". The nature is gorgeous, the climate is very hot at summers and very cold at winters.
>>69922041

>>69910186
Also, Turkics and Chinks breeding Russians out is wishful thinking.
They seem to breed at insane % because there are so little of them.
Together all of aboriginals are barely above 1.5 million people. The combined population of Siberia and the Far East is around 40 million people.
Half a million are Yakuts, half a million are Mongol Buryats near Baikal, 200K are Tuvans (Mongol-like Turkics, the minister of defence of Russia Shoigu is a Tuvan). Mountain Turkics of Sayan mountains (Shors and Altais) are below 500K combined. Other peoples are less than some Obongo forsaken town in the middle of North Dakota.
Russians come in waves of several million colonists once a 40 years or so. There was a population flight to either oil regions of West Siberia or Moscow/St.Petersburg people magnets, but it has since stabilized.
Also there are many nuke launch facilities hidden god knows where. Only underground bunker-city under mountain Yamantau is Bashkiria, south Ural, is well known as the central command point in case of nuclear destruction of NATO.

It was a mistake of Europe and Asia to allow Russia to claim so much land to the east. It could have possibly been a Western country with relations to USA, Europe and Canada if they were successfully able to claim and settle the land there.

CAN'T AKBAR THE HUSSAR
My family is from Siberia, we came over as part of the 'brain drain' of scientists looking for a better life during the beginning of the turbulent 90s, have been going back with some regularity since. Novosibirsk, Biysk (a small village near Biysk, actually).
I really love it to be honest. The people are no-nonsense tough bastards. My relatives still there are mostly rural/blue collar folks. Truckers, rail road workers, farmers. Everyone grows their own food in the garden, many have chickens, pigs, or even a cow. Fishing is probably the #1 hobby, that and berry and mushroom picking. Good jobs are in tight supply unfortunately, take home wages for the blue collar type of worker are pretty low, but them growing a lot of what they eat alleviates thing somewhat, that and govt. subsidized or inherited housing (par for the course in Russia). I look forward to visiting every year. Aside from the lack of well paid jobs, especially blue collar work after the commie propped up factories closed down, and a certain degree of alcoholism that is all to prevalent in certain villages, the lack of a) troublemaking minorities and b) any sort of "SJW" type of people is beyond refreshing. Lots of families having babies, driven in part by the govt subsidy, is pleasant to see as well. Overall, since the 90s, I'd call it a massive improvement, sanctions and cheap oil prices or not.

The church is becoming more of a thing, although for the vast majority of people (myself to a degree) it's more-so a nominal sort of participation. I'd say over 50% of people wear crosses, but very few go to mass with any regularity. Wealthy benefactors have built churches in the small villages that they're from. Here is the one in my grandmother's village.

Because China or India are so much better as neighbours, right.

7/10 too easy you can do better
I'd say that overall, a lot of Siberia, and Russia in general, reminds me of the American Rust Belt. Many once-humming factories shut down, and not enough new business came in to give the 'man on the street' a solid reliable living to make. So of course people will adapt and do little side things, open businesses, etc. Now, even in the poorer areas like Biysk, I'd argue that from a material wealth standpoint the average person is probably better off than during Soviet times. But just looking around, a lot of the public infrastructure is just going to shit (as it has been for 25+ years). Moscow and St. Petersburg are very different, the Altai Krai is one of the poorest regions in Russia. The wealth gap is pretty immense, but not a whole lot different from what I see where I live in the US (Indianapolis). You have the well heeled guys with brand new black Land Cruiser 200s, and people like my great uncle driving a 1982 Lada.

A pretty typical home in my grandma's village, with a battered Moskvitch in the driveway, and a blossoming garden in the yard, and the mandatory 'banya' (sauna) out back.

I have been to Irkutsk/Lake Baikal in the middle of winter. It's extremely picturesque! Walking across a massive frozen lake /riding across in a snowmobile is a huge novelty to someone who grew up never seeing snow. Russians right across Russia but in particular in Siberia tent to be pretty sour towards foreigners. I met in total 2 nice Russians in the couple of weeks I spent in the country. I met about 12 Mongols in Irkutsk and travelled with them to Mongolia and they were all 20x more happy and friendly than any Russian. And they were considerably pourer too
>>69937955
They aren't exactly close to Europe. Say 1 European country funds Japan and another funds China. And then they begin to contest each other in their regions.

doesn't look THAT bad
sure it's cold and muddy, but at least the people are clean, wearing warm clothes and driving around in modern cars
I'd bet Detroit would be much worse if the climate were the same

I will contrast this with my brother's American friend who came with us on a trip to Russia in 2006, visiting all the same places as in the above photos. Everyone absolutely adored him, despite the obvious language barrier.

Omsk is a meme about how everyone living there is a drug addict. How true is it I don't know.
>>69932080
Have you yourself gone to Anadyr? Is it a good place for an Alaskan to visit? I've been eyeing it for a while.
A pretty typical small village scene, a poorer one to be honest. No pavement to speak of, population of maybe 700ish. Had the time of my life hanging out with my local cousins and their friends, drinking beer and hanging out in the sauna. Everyone was very curious to hear about what people in America thought of Russians, not sure if I ever did give them a satisfactory answer. A lot of the guys are either serving contracts in the army (ie post-conscription), or had just finished their mandatory 1 year (down from 2).
>>69939897
It's sure isn't true that Omsk is Russia's drug capital.
Because the real Russia's drug capital is Saint Petersburg

This whole altercation lasted probably around 20 seconds.
>>69940424
It is. My cousin that's a few years younger than me finished his one year in the service (scrapping out rusty Soveit stocks of Ural and ZiL army trucks) got some schooling as a train driver/engineer and scratches out a living at the train depot in Biysk. Knocked up a local girl and married her. settled down in a somewhat run down older log home. She is quite literally the bare foot country girl that cans apples in the summer kitchen and tends to the garden. Don't get me wrong, they live in poverty and had hard upbringings (his dad is an alcoholic, she spent time in a children's home due to unfit parents). But I look at that simple life and get jealous. At the same time, I'm sure he'd look at my job, my fiance entering residency, our 3 cars, and think I was crazy to think of giving that up. Grass is always greener and all that.

Too much wealth also tends to be bad because life gets so fucking easy & safe so there's no excitement in it.

There's that also. Human mind acts strangely.

If I moved to Siberia with 26,037,569 Rubles could I live out the rest of my days (30-40 years) very comfortably with no other income?
>>69940531
If you will buy 2-3 extra apartments and will rent them - sure thing.
If not - depends on your spendings
>>69945699

What is food and fuel availability like. In there infrastructure to Eastern Siberia, or must you be very self reliant to exist?

Did your grandmother loved Russian cocks in 1945?
>>69945432
I've played out this scenario in my head for fun, and I think I could totally pull it off. My grandparents sold their nice little dacha house on about 1 acre of tilled land for the equivalent of $1500, and that's pre-currency devaluation. A cheap little Lada can be bought for about $500 in usable condition. Especially if I just wanted to lay low and spend my days working the land and fishing out by my country familia. Let me tell you, that lifestyle keeps you in awesome shape. Literally working for your meal is a novel concept to most of us. Stocking up potatoes in the root cellar for the winter, canning, etc.

If live in country and you have a good crosscountry rover - you can just buy everything in the city once in the while. The only tricky part in country is emergency medical help and schools for kids.
And if you live in the city in commieblock or really nearby it in your own house - no problem at all.
