    The writer and journalist from the United States James Bradley was shocked by what he saw in Moscow. Following the visit to the capital of Russia, in The Duran he wrote an article. Here the author emotionally conveyed to his readers his shock of how much he and all Americans are deceived by the Western press and the leadership of the "democratic" country.

    The roads in Russia are really magnificent. Especially federal roads. Both in Moscow and in the regions. It is a fact.

    Maybe you have a bad antivirus? False alarm....If you want quality - Use Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

    Russian hackers can not be blocked. They are everywhere. Russian hackers rule the world. At least this is what western media write ..... I do not understand why Hollywood sleeps. Why they will not film about the evil Russian hackers who want to destroy the whole world. I would love to see such a film. I can even provide a script for this movie.

    There are a lot of Americans disagreeing or condemning their government on this forum, yet no Russians ever did in my years of lurking PF. Makes you think...

    About Russians road infrastructure, yes it's improving, a wonder if you consider massive corruption in handling of state contracts, but it's years behind aging US infrastructure or the European one in both quality or reach.

    Not hard to understand...open your big mouth and get a visit and a beating from FIS, open it again and you get an ounce behind the ear.

    As the Russian proverb says, Russia has 2 main problems, fools and bad roads. The proverb is hundreds years old and is still very accurate lol

    Sorry to burst your bubble, jusk like Pyongyang has amazing roads, hotels and even a ski resort while the NK population starves, Russia's roads outside of Moscow are an unimaginable horror show while Putin takes care of Moscow elites.

    This proverb is not actual. All the fools stayed in Kazakhstan or left for Israel. Therefore now in Russia magnificent roads.

    Once again, use a good and high-quality antivirus, for example "Kaspersky Anti-Virus". Or "Doctor Web." And you will forget about all the problems.

    I run 2 machines 1 with Windows for CAD & CAM and a Linux machine for everything else with 2 standalone firefox's. One for Tor and one for normal connection. Who needs virus protection with a proper OS lol. Although it's more complex than that but being forced to use user/admin accounts keeps linux secure and also being in the 1%. Use Tor Browser to view sites like these and you should have 0 issues.

    I've been Moscow the roads are great, in St Petersburg they were great to. Never been anywhere else in Russia so can't comment. They do drive like maniacs and after driving in Moscow I will never drive in Russia again lol makes London look calm.

    This is the construction of roads in Yakutia. But you can look and compare - "It was, it now."

    Anyone who has a brain can dial into Google "modern roads of Russia" or "the roads of Yakutia was - now". Or another such question. But this, of course, if the brain really is.

    It only seems to you. Install a real and high-quality Kaspersky Anti-Virus. And you will forget about false triggering.

    All is well. In Russia, everything is fine. In Chelyabinsk, meteorites, UFOs, aliens ... etc. ...



    In Tagil tanks ...



    In Rostov aircraft ....



    In general, everything is as usual. BUT the roads everywhere are magnificent.

    Here's the difference between the US and Russia. When a Mexican decided to strip naked and dance the Can-can in an airport in Russia, the guard slapped him. In the US he would probably be facing a lawsuit for it. Now if he tasered him it would be a different story. He would probably get off Scot free.

    As for the pot holes, I think it has something to do with the way the roads are constructed. I know from Socchi that Putin is frugal and doesn't like throwing money away. So while most living quarters in the games are cheaply made and temporary, the ones in Socchi were well built and permanent. It cost much more at the time, but the money wasn't wasted since they could be rented or sold later on as permanent living quarters, or vacation homes.

    We deliberately give everything a short life to keep the economy going. It's a flawed system since the money is spent on the same things, rather than being utilized in other ways. I think the Russian roads are constructed in such a way so that water can't leak under the pavement and cause pot holes.

    Not a false trigger. That site collects information that I forbid them to have.
    Sorry comrade, I don't buy or use Russian products.

    Most of the country is mud, but that's to be expected in a country three times the size of the US, and with half the population. Roads have always been Russia's biggest problem and they are trying to solve it - especially in areas they want to populate.

    Then again the mud serves its purpose, it did stop the German tanks. :roflol:
