I seriously doubt this poster is Russian or ever lived there.

OP if you seriously are Russian, consider writing in Russian and having a translator put it in English for you, because from all your other posts, your English could use some work.

Even just once I'd like to see that, and a comparison of what you call the English Language.

Not bashing you, I am doubting you.

Probably about as Russian as the FPSRussia guy chuckle

I have a number of Russian friends who have all confided in me at different times that they preferred life under Communism. Even though they were poor, they were happy. There was a collective spirit and a camaraderie that is missing now.

Now in Russia it is dog-eat-dog and life is actually tougher than before. This is what I've heard.

There's an old gag: Under Communism everyone was equal...equally poor.

But one thing Westerners don't understand....money isn't everything in life.

This is something I was told many times when I worked in Russia. Everyone had a home and a job or a pension. They had stability and green sausages.

You can see a doctor for that.

Your avatar with the Soviet Jesus is hilarious.

Pretty ironic because the soviet union had millions of christians put to death

I have a friend moving to Moscow in August to teach at the Anglo-American School. Congratulations and good luck to him!

Just stay here in the US, it's becoming more and more like the former Soviet Union everyday (growing police state, corruption, etc).

**Timko**

My parents at times feel the same way, although they don't explicitly say it. I think in their case though, it's more about missing their youth than anything else. Maybe it's the same with you OP

Imagine they had to, regularly! I was told that the older folk missed their green sausages because there's now too much choice and too expensive.

The Soviets apparently made only one type of sausage in a giant factory in the Urals or somewhere remote. They were shipped off by train all over the vast country. By they time they got to the shop they were green with rotting mould.

I lived among Russians and Eastern Europeans for the last several years. The only ones I saw that yearned for the old Soviet Union days were the ones that were obviously part of the group that was in control of everyone else.

Kind of an elite group who had some special privileges.

The young people want nothing to do with it.
