Russia: What is up with those guys?

  • They have some guy named Putin that is basically dictator.

    I never here of anybody vacationing there. Nobody studies abroad there. All there sports teams blow. No rock gods from there.

    They seem to have more coastline than basically anyone yet I can't name a single awesome beach resort.

    Is the place just a barren wasteland or something?

  • Trans-siberian express seems legit. They put a KGB guy in as president....so there is no "basically" about it.

  • Russia apparently has a horrible heroin epidemic, with an estimated 2.5 million active users and 30,000 deaths annually. There is also a new designer heroin called crokodil, or crocodile, because it turns your skin green and scaly. Afghanistan borders Russia and supplies most of the worlds heroin, making it easy to smuggle heroin into the country. Some people refer to this as narco-terrorism by the Afghans, supplying Russia with heroin to weaken its people.

    Krokodil: Russia's Deadliest Drug (NSFW)

    A homemade drug called Krokodil is gaining popularity in Siberia and its effects on users are horrific. Krokodil is Russian for Crocodile, because of the way addicts' skin begins to get turn scaly, dry and eventually rot right off their bodies. Even most heroin users are frightened by Krokodil and want nothing to do with this terrifying drug.

    They seem to be pretty excited about joining the SEC, but other than that, I'm pretty sure their lives are crap.

  • Moscow might be the craziest city in the world, one of the richest too. The amount of money some of the residents have and the sheer recklessness with which they spend it is something to behold.

    That's intriguing. You don't seem to hear about any huge Russian countries over here. More Japanese and European. Where is the money coming from?

    Correct if I'm wrong but although there is a ton of wealth is Moscow, income equality is huge with very few people having vast industrial-based fortunes. If you want an example of crony capitalism, Russia is it.

    Yeah it really is an oligarchy. Income inequality is enormous in Russia. Most people were honestly a lot better living under Brezhnev then under Yeltsin/Putin.

    Almost all of the resources which were owned by the state under USSR rule were divested into the hands of a relatively small amount of people. Probably don't hear a lot about Russian companies because most of them don't compete well globally, and most of the larger ones are in Mining or Heavy Industry and not consumer goods.

  • Russia has some of the most beautiful women with slutty tendencies you will ever encounter in this world.

    And as rms pointed out, so many bad ass mixed women...

    They also party 100x harder than we do in America, alcohol is on tap, anyone can get their hands on drugs by simply raising your hand, etc.

    A lot of rich people out there partying as if there is no tomorrow, with total disregard to their well being.

    I majored in Russian and did a study abroad over there. Beautiful country.

    The Black Sea is pretty much the beach resort.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    I've never heard of crocodil called a designer drug. I thought it was more like the meth of heroine and was shredding the population at record rates.

    it is, i guess designer is a bad name for it. Just took it from an article I read. Apparently is 3x cheaper than heroin and pretty much guarantees you will die or become nearly brain dead. nasty stuff. That video I linked is pretty nasty

    I have no idea if this is true or not and it's sounds absurdly conspiracy theoryish, but the person who first told me about the stuff told me the us govt actively tries to keep it on the dl here for fear of the scumbag. Sector of our population getting on it.

    Either way... Stuffs crazy.

    It is definitely not the "meth" of heroin. If anything, you could say Heroin is the "Meth" of Opium. Real Meth is its own chemical combination and drug. Not just three or four things you buy at a local store and cook up real quick.
