Interesting facts about life in Russia

wow that was pretty pointless

And now let us walk through the woods, called conifers. There are deciduous forests, but it is far, now is not get there. This forest is located near my home in the summer nights here fuck all sorts of people, including homosexual and lesbian. This forest is planted 40 years ago, that's grown. Often there are fires here, but because rostut only pine, because the litter is burned along with bushes and small trees on it. Last summer, when all forests burned, the burning is sometimes carried, once the city was smoke, but large fires in this forest was not. Well, after all this is rubbish, because there guzzle, and when fuck, I somehow found a place with friends with a bunch of condom. The forest is also Thou he stands on sandy soil, only the top layer of wood, formerly quarried sand here and there, well so far almost no undergrowth.

That so-called near the ravine. Formerly quarried sand here, is to dig a little, and would be a good sand. True, it is very overgrown, I saw 10 years ago, as he was digging excavator. There are now trash, and it was beautiful. Even before it was possible to drop back on the bike, but I managed, though bruised dick and balls, and hit his head on the ground. And so there it was good. One of the streets, which is located near the forest, called Peskovskoya.

Continuing the theme of the forest, although it is not so big, here's one of the wells for the extraction of sand. It's at the other end of the forest. They say that there is some hole, but obviously people digging. Although there may live a dog, and I could give her a hand. Back in the forest live hares. I have personally seen him like squirrels and woodpeckers.

Russia is still, quite obviously, the freedom-challenged, Medieval, Turd-World hellhole that it always has been.

Russia, and China, have never, in their long histories, known freedom of the citizenry.

Russians were better off under the rule of enlightened Czars/Tsars than they were under Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and that piss-artist clown, Yeltsin.

i have never understood why ruskies are so dirty fucks, they spoil every place they go. Ruskies: how about cleaning that place of yours & stop polluting Baltic sea you bastards!

And who would argue that live here are well. Although, of course, I have somewhere in the house is kind of a book called like Spravochka party official, there is something about the Communist Party, and something about communism. So there it is written that by the year 2000 will be all right, all equipped with modern amenities and more. In fact, the area of the city then kept in order, including entrances, passages, and more. Subways of the city around 8, but the majority is better not to use it, Thou filthy, and you can become a victim of the attack Gopnik (a kind of street criminals). I forgot about the transition, so I, like many people, traffic cop fined 200 rubles, and the transition even swept. Recently did a renovation in the stairwell in the basement of a flowing pipe, and flow, and even plastic pipes sag, although their three years, but flowing.
But in general, with regard to roads, there are traffic jams, frequent accidents, traffic cops are greedy, large fines, well, downtown parking problems, urban transport is bad in it in the morning a lot of people.
Well, that crime in general. Last year I nazvanivali what I call them, we should discuss this matter, there are versed with the one hundredth time all agreed. Gopnik in the number increased - last year three times teasing, barely able to get out. And in general, of course, do not judge any officials, meanwhile, corruption flourishes in the municipal area, too. In Soviet times, was convicted for raping a chairman of the city branch of the party, by then was young, was probably 4 years in jail last night before the release was killed.

About the Baltic Sea will say that I only know about thermal pollution of the Leningrad nuclear power plant. In Kursk, the sea is not up to him somewhere 10 hours away by train through Ukraine, Thou through Voronezh slower and so trains run. But on the topic of the forest still has the video.
That's heating pipes, do not know whether the act is now, but a couple of years, when winter was, on the trail of the land without snow, it was evident that she worked. She goes to the tannery, which smells strongly, and heating can live the so-called people homeless - homeless. Come down have not tried it, a ladder is bad, but there is good. And the hatches open - in such a lot out of the eighth house was open the door for several years, covers stolen, only with the installation of concrete cover it closed.

And let us that there are still so you can see the yard and house, however, the adjacent, but it is similar to mine, there is only a one-room apartment, and I have one to three, and there is four, but in my six entrances.

Russians call ships "he" instead of "she", like the rest of the world.

How fucked-up is that?

OP every April there is day named Earth Day. People go outside and pick up rubbish off the lands and dipose of it, recycle too. It is not meant for one person it is for the entire community to work together and get it cleaned up.

Perhaps you can start telling people about Earth Day? Or do you have this now?

Did you write that someone lives in those holes underground because they are homeless? I was not sure. Thank you for sharing we would love to see your community and house, stuff like that if you can do that. That one room apartment did not even have a window as far as I could see.

Well, about homosexual talk a lot - it's a big topic, for they are many. About the ships do not say, because here a somewhat different principle, that the Soviet ships named any names of towns, rivers (the tanker Izhora "landing ship" Yamal "), or the famous heroes or politicians, or by such discordant as the" Killing 164 "(hoy) or SB-46" (tow boat), the Black Sea fleet from Sevastopol. Well, the name of the civil courts remained, as in many - an icebreaking lighter Sevmorput. Actually, that name was chosen female names in Soviet times it was rare (not well named, like, some kind of craft "Zoya Kosmodeyamnskaya"), because the name did not come up with someone one and all, and certainly no one be pleased that someone would call a ship named his wife or mistress. Like now, I do not know, there may be women's names, but I will say that one of his ice-breaking container Norilsk Nickel as a call and, as a millionaire who is also Russian, while no longer living in Russia, called his tanker "Danilo" in honor of his father. Now, in the names of freedom
(Taboo on obscene names), but still, traditions are strong. Incidentally, the same "Kursk" was a steamer, which sailed for 60 years, the Second World War in the Black Sea was not damaged, and then the submarine was named so.
I have a two-bedroom apartment, the window of my room out to this courtyard, next to already-room through the wall, shoot more then just the memory on the phone nearly ended - perhaps we need a new card to buy, there is not so for a couple days of shooting a little, but I do music on the phone constantly listening to, so that half the capacity of some songs.
As for Earth Day - have learned about him recently, but it is clear that shit all excited, and remove one. Honestly, one day all the rubbish is not removed, it is hard work. Garbage in the city - a problem that is not particularly try to describe, even in the newspapers, because everyone is talking about more pressing issues in public services, which no one particularly wants to address. So that all the problems, and the only incentive is to harvest the police, but as the unit, which monitors compliance with environmental standards, few, a serious no no penalties. Can still be fined for pollution of Kura, prescribing service environmental fines, but the city is not all business. More precisely, paying for cleaning up areas, but due to a complex system and corruption in the maintenance utilities all the money go for nothing, people are crap, garbage, and not removed, and many go through Hell just to other problems, not to waste all .
Now, about gays. Homophobia in Russia do not have the bulk of the population. There are only individuals and groups, often criminal, who for ideological reasons, suffer from homophobia, such groups consist of different kinds of sociopaths. Ordinary people are tolerant of gays, with the exception of criminals, which prohibit Concepts refers to gays as ordinary people. However, Russia's prison - a different topic. In principle, every Russian jail is connected one way or another, either because he suffered from the actions of criminals, or someone at least of his friends he was in jail. Recently, people in the tattoo was pretty much saw the peasant - all in tattoos, and the other a thief, according to the sign of the cross on his arm. Actually, in Moscow gays go almost in women's clothes, we have, they look like everyone else. However, in my institute in the group of gay learning, nothing is normal. I'm on a bus met two Gopnik, one to the other in the feminine treated (in prison gays give female names nicknames), nothing. As for lesbians, they are free to hug and kiss in public, most are indifferent, others for (at least one of the nudist at heart), as well - they are all walking on summer evenings on Lenin street, nothing. Problems against gays did not have any, except that a couple of times molested, just said I like girls. The school is only one bothered that I substituted him back, but I have it in your mouth will take charge, but he got there, I followed him with a bottle ran, but I've already finished school, as well - there was another troubled young gay, he in the mouth on a dare take. Well, in my childhood adventures were some, but I went dry, nothing happened.
Still, over the city fauna - the kittens are eating cheese, it threw their dealer, voice-over obscene language.

Pictures different - here without comment, apparently all

Thanks for the insight into your world OP.

Here in America, the conditions you document, are for the poorest of the poor.

Only a hermit who couldn't be guided through the welfare enrollment process would be that bad off.

thank you for sharing this sliver of experience with us

Yes, new home - it is, but their construction is the problem of the kind that often, people pay money for an apartment, the victims of the pyramids for the simple reason that it is cheaper to buy an apartment in a newly built house. Actually, the bulk of construction is not in the center and the suburbs, because downtown land is expensive, and of the place is very rich in various kinds of shops, and so there is general parking problems, and in terms of street crime to the area is not very good. Here, as in industrial areas there are old houses, many have long been demanding the demolition, but by law, to demolish the house, it is necessary to resettle all the people in other apartments at the expense of the state and the state has no money, and all developers are building for this reason, on the outskirts of , where territories are free. Housing prices are very high, here in this many people can not buy an apartment in a nice house. Besides, who owns a car, while faced with the problem of buying a new garage near the house if the house is in the center, then there simply can not find a place for the garage, and it is expensive to build a garage can only get some papers and for construction of garage space. The garage is to build cheaper than buy a territory for him. Garages are of brick and metal, sometimes made of shells of cars. The bulk of the metal garages, there is an observation well, many do not enjoy the cellars of the house because the garage extends the observation well, and there is also a small cellar. In many homes, in which nine or more floors in the basement are just pipes and substations, the people there did not remain, even where no cells. We have in the basement of the problems with the lighting, in fact, few who use it, but I saw one house, even older, so there is a basement apartment lit up as corridors, but not so deep and the windows overlook the street. Basement floor consists of bricks laid as paving, can not be held together, so that we can manage to crack the floor and extend the floor, for they immediately groundwater depth. In the center is a private home, there they are, and in some areas that are not very suitable for the construction of apartment buildings due to the proximity of groundwater, standing near a river or on a steep slope. Most of them are old, but some built recently, quite good, but the places they are not very comfortable. The private sector takes up space, including the center, but to endure it no one wants, because few want to live there.

What is the difference in cost of living?

How much is an apartment in the city?
Utilities?

How much where you are?

The cost of housing in different locations, of course, is different, since proximity to downtown makes housing more expensive, but since the Kursk city is not particularly large, the proximity to downtown is not particularly important, especially if the man there is often not necessary. Quite expensive, in principle, to a new house, and already occupied homes - depends on whether there is repair and the owner knows how to bargain. Here's how a one-room apartment next couple of years ago (where the neighbor lived alone, and she had many, died just before Christmas, but after already found that the house lights are on, and no one opens, and of relatives sold her apartment), a man bought for 2 million rubles, although her real estate agent estimated at 750,000. What else is weird, in theory, the higher the house, so should be less than the land tax, as the house takes up less space, and live in it more people, but for some reason do not. Land tax on the house called the housing board, so in the case of a dwelling house, he takes into account also the cost of the building.Well, in addition, has a value at inheritance, because then you can freely leave it. More about the fees for an apartment - had sent a bunch of receipts, which had to go through all the booths, and then pay. It was awkward, of course, but about the electronic payment at the time few people knew, for they all equipment was much more expensive than it is now, and now computers are getting cheaper very quickly. In sum payment depends on the area of the apartment, if there is no water meter and gas, the fee for water and gas is very small, if a person loves to cook and a lot of hours to bathe, for each prescribed person credited for it, pay for their sum. The main problem - electricity, as it faces counters, there is already dependent on the residents themselves, it now takes somewhere 500 rubles a month. Necessary to pay monthly, and then nachislyayut fine, then all can not just leave if it comes before the court and then be in a house average content to send in the future, if some characters over the years do not pay rent, you have a court decision . Simply, there is a law, that person for failure to pay can not make the homeless, about to be resettled in unsuitable housing. Now the situation has changed with the payment for the worse. My house is on the border of a ten zones of the Kursk nuclear power plant in Kurchatov. Thus, it is believed that in the event of an accident all the people in this place will get a lethal dose of radiation, it was a discount of 10 percent for paying for energy that is now canceled. And now all pay in one hand ERKTS (Single payment cash center), the receipt comes alone, and in five minutes all was paid, for they own ticket office is next. But as he takes ERKTS their interest, and from one organization to service utilities turned the mass of any management companies out there get confused with this, well, more money, large sums are lost. The situation is similar in energy, but because it is associated with more serious sums, as electricity is needed, then this island - from a single company RAO UES separated mass of small, but very necessary, including the maintenance of electrical networks in the case malfunctions, and a complicated system of their calculation with each other has led to the fact that a large amount of missing. That's because of this, pay is becoming more expensive, alas, the laws are too complicated, that they specifically wrote that Lee, as well as a high level of corruption. The only thing that pleases some, the financial problems at the depot cleaning equipment, but there is a team of people to shoot stray dogs, the team nobody wants, because the dog will still bite people, but often home owners due to an oversight, and rabies suffer mostly foxes that live near the city, but their shooting as something small. The difference in life is not very large in total as somewhere hundredth of a percent homeless, but relatively rich in about one percent, the Kursk is not here does not Moscow oligarchs, though, if you look on the machines and their cost, it pretty much as cheap and old, and new in good condition, can sometimes be found and are quite expensive and rare and quite expensive.

obviously, you have no clue about nuances of Russian language

So, now video - graffiti on the wall fence of the plant, the former KZTZ, then AO Agromash "and now closed the factory.

This is the whole street as a whole - street is long, but it's part of the most interesting here on both sides of businesses and factories.

Again the basement, only this time with a puddle.

LA-LA-LA, there are names that may be only men or only women, but many of those others, but with the ships - often the names of cities, or anything else from the geography and the nuances of no special because it does not so much in the nature of names there.

Russia ain't got nothing on Michigan.

This is the kind of reality TV I like!
How you look at it makes it interesting.

Will need to be done, a lot more then, only then is not all that particularly liked, I still have pictures, but it is then there pictures of Lipetsk.

Thanks for typing all that up.

Your utility bill is equal to $16.
Doesn't seem like much.

But I understand pay is different over there.

What about jobs?
Average pay?

Do you enjoy life there, or do you want to leave? Do you have family?

And why post on a conspiracy site? Have you seen an alien or something?

Hey preety interesting facts...:)

Thanks OP for all the effort you have put in to give others a look into your surroundings and life within

The work here is different - and different salaries, me in the summer for distribution of books on the day promised to 500 rubles, however, work hard, I was soon kicked out, and then in the summer there was no place to settle because the session is not soon ended all because of the failure of the entire a group of physical chemistry. And so, though whom to work, in principle, of course, if you're lucky enough to work well, there will be a good salary: shunting locomotive 15 000, the trucker generally somewhere 50 000. In addition, it will be very good if the salary would pay a bit informally, most of the envelope, then it will be better because they do not have to pay income tax. However, to settle on a specialty is not always possible, because experience is necessary. More teachers in the village to do a free water and gas, but they pay little, although the work in the village of salary increases. In the village live a little bit cheaper, of course, because that's where home is cheaper at times, although many of the old and the roads are a problem, but still, if there is an agronomist to work, his salary is quite possible to repair the house and the car a good buy, well, except for Furthermore, if still working in his vegetable garden, you can get quite enough for a potato and other food. Back in the village you can make your apiary, honey is quite expensive on the market, but the village speculators go and buy a fairly cheap, but also the normal income gives an apiary, although it must work. In addition, there is a buckwheat field, so that is where the hive and take out for the summer. Now give expensive steel - the earth itself expensive, all close to the city they want, although there is nothing except a few trees and houses (often from the container) and a toilet. So I think then try the internet to work, for they do not care as long as I study, the time at work will not, so it is an idea too, for a profit. In the southern areas of the Azov and Black Sea, the owners of homes in resort areas can not work at all if they take shelter. There's a lot of people a rest, then for a sufficiently large house get a good income, but land is expensive - closer than the sea, the more expensive, well, pay more, respectively. On the production work harder, since many businesses collapsed, the service sector has grown, but good luck you can be earning in the workplace, if a good place to find the will.
What else is interesting about the housing - to rent an apartment worth as much as 6000 per month or more, then another, and the Internet have their own expense to pursue. There are a prestigious areas to live, where the price of land several times more just because of the beauty of places and stay in the area of preserve. Although, in fact, require a lot of bribe, there to obtain a building permit, and the settlement itself is the same as all the, well, there is a lake or something - but it is everywhere, near many villages there are ponds. Actually, if the house is private, then its owner can easily lead to a beautiful state, just paint it where necessary and a flower garden in front of him to do.
I'm not married, I think I will live here on, an ethnic Russian, and with the same nationality, then I have a residence permit and, as necessary just to earn money, get married, finish my studies and so on, just may give the apartment if I'll go in another city (the analyst and teacher of chemistry), if money is not spent on marijuana, vodka or moonshine, it will be all right with routine work.
Actually, the special problems should not be, the most fundamental problems in addition to employment and housing, there is a medicine, the most expensive, of course, treat the teeth, and if cold, it's not expensive, so medications for the treatment of lung diseases are not very expensive in general something. Doctor Hospital are in the queue, but most of all for free, and in addition, small colds benefit is working for people because the money paid for a hospital, a house can sleep peacefully and be treated as well and for the institution, although a couple of weeks then come in and do do not know, but rest of it useful. Most interestingly, the price of arbidol remained 200 rubles after the swine flu, although several people fell ill, but while it sold out the whole. The vet takes too is not particularly expensive, and there are fewer turns, and treatment of animals is cheaper. There is still a problem in the form of roads, but if the car is good, even not very good, able to travel and know where to go is not necessary, in the city with this problem will not be - a much larger problem is the accident and the payment of fines in other cases, depends on the weather , in good weather only to be shaken. Actually, not all cities have a problem with roads is complicated - it depends on the city officials (here in Voronezh roads are bad, even in the middle), and many simply do not have to go where they are bad. So if you're lucky, it will be fine with that, the main cause of accidents - stupidity.
Continuing the theme of graffiti, here's an underground passage, his entire izrisovali. Maybe it is better not to use it, but during the day for many machines. Once I started to cross the road and caught between cars on the adjacent rows, and then laughed, and the driver swearing ZIL much because I thought that I knock, but he is an idiot and does not know how to ride.

It's so old stairs, which descend from the hill on which stands the central region. This leads to the central market, and since then a lot of garbage. For him to walk is not very convenient because they are very steep and long, winter night and even dangerous, and night here can safely attack Gopnik on them go only those who live in private homes in these places, other people rarely walk in them . However, if you carry with you something in the form of cutting a large knife (of course you have to hand carry, there is still no police officer will not get), that Gopnik is unlikely to be attacked, but the fall is quite possible. Such is the history of the city that began to live in places that walking faster that way, but the car has to travel along the hills, the narrow streets of problems with siding of cars. Although, actually, in some places, such ladders are very useful, because it is near lots of trees, and there you can handle the needs of nature. Although, of course, the path is not very easy, but to go down easy, you just gently, and lifting hard. As a local not complaining, but the stairs are needed, their is no substitute, because the bypass long. But the repair is always difficult to city officials, although there is not too expensive and a lot.

Are those salaries yearly?

How do you get a good job, are they only for those connected?
