Hello! I want to know you opinion about Russia.

[wei-sheng]

1. broad territory
2. spectacular Kremlin
3. fearful Chechen insurgents
4. kind Russian

[Bob S.]

Russia has mastered classical European arts that much of the rest of Europe has unfortunately abandoned.

In St. Petersburg, beautiful classic European architecture, protected and preserved thru WWII, is now coated with a black film of soot from automobile exhaust and factory polution. It's sad to see a beautiful city succumb to industrial polution.

First World technology.

Third World economic and political corruption.

Lots of drunk men.

Lots of beautiful cultured women.

Cold cold cold! (in winter)

all I know is that Russian girls are very beautiful even I have never been to there, but my friends told me so !

Is that true ?

i never went to russian before, but i attend university in a chinese city which is near to russia and had many russians lived here before, so the city has many russian buildings and churches.
also there are many russian students in my univeristy. they are good looking people. especially the girls. they really pay attention to fashions and dressing. the girls are really beautiful, you can't deny that, I should say they are more beautiful than other white people from my aesthetic view. slender and has nice body.
but there is a myth about the russian girls. why do they become fat, and sometimes very very fat after they get married and give birth to a child?
correct me if i am wrong. of course i am not saying all russian girls are like that but this phenominem is in a very large scale.
i really want to know the answer to the myth.

It is a delusion. In every county there are drink people and abstainers.
