The impression I've gotten of Russia is that it is a mob-infested country where the most important thing is who you know and how much money you have. I can only handle corruption to a certain degree...
While some of you may be down for that sort of adventure, I think I'll stick to Western & Central Europe, and maybe the Balkans. Not really down to worry about having my head chopped off on video and have that posted on Youtube so that Russia can stay for Russians. Fuck that. If that's what Russia is the Russians can keep it!
Russia sounds like hell on earth to me. I'd rather go to the poorest country in Africa before I'd go to Russia. I read one guy's tale that he simply said "hi" to some guy in the street in Moscow and the dude cold cocked him. I guess being boisterous with random strangers in Russia is a big no-no. At least in Mali, people would be waving and happy that I came to visit their country. Fuck Russia. And it's a joke that they were given the world cup given all the skinheads and hooligans that show up at the games there. I feel sorry for non-whites who go there for the games not knowing what awaits them. I will definitely not be attending that one.
