@RebelWithACause Haha, guys Russia is a free country. Russian people pay 13% tax. Where some european countries pay 70 , American people pay 50.
It is not a police state, or should I say it is used to be a police state. Now itis getting there with all the stupid robots, cameras etc. giving out tickers to people left and right
It is not really Mafia in russia, it is just you can deal with people personally without going thru beaurocratic system, like in the US. you can solve a lot of things and save yourself a lot of time.
Also people dont rely on the police for small things. If 2 men want to fight it out, and if someone calls cops that will be a disgrace .
This is why people dont run their mouth for no reason, like they do in the US . Since if you run your mouth, another person can actually suggest you fight it out. And that is respected in russia and cops will not get involved. And I think it is good.
this fighthing is not for all situations, This does not involve criminal situations, for criminal shit police will get involved ASAP.
I think the ability to fight it out, keeps people more sane and more respectful to each other.
Moscow is crazy expensive. It is much more expensive than NYC. Night life is amazing but expensive.
I mean as a ball park, I had months when I spend more than 100k just on going out)) And Moscow collects a lot of people like this, from all over the country.
So for foreigners who come to visit it could be very expensive. like Dubai. unless you sit home and dont go anywhere.
