The greatest system of looting in the world is in Russia. But they love it, give corrupt officials half of their money and they are content.

36% of Russians aged 18 to 24 wish to emigrate. So maybe those aren't as happy with their future being robbed by "authorities".

This is fake news. But it's slick, backed up by a mafia state stealing oil money from its people. So you fell for it, that's the truly sad part.

"To promise this does not mean to marry".

They just don't know yet and don't understand that working in Russia they can earn two or three times more after they finish their education than they can work as a waiter for $ 10 an hour.

It's called " the truth pricking your eyes".

You and I both know the average salary in Russia outside of Moscow is 600 dollars a month. This is not exactly the dream of the youth to live like that when they can make 5 times as much in the West without any special skills. Plus then they aren't living in a garbage dump like Dzherzinsk with police who steal instead of serve.

I hope that Belarusians will be prudent. A revolution will not bring them happiness.

Just a thought.

That's what they are ALL questioning at this point.

Basically yes.
If you will go through the couple of my earlier posts here, you will understand how and why.

Of course, of course...
But see, the problem IS, you only PROMISE that these people you use for your own purpose will get the life of "Western standards."
But once you use them, what they actually often get in return, is being worse off comparably to where they were before your so-called *assistance.*

You love selling the "dreams," enticing people to do what you want, what serves your goals, but then the rude awakening is settling in.

Why don't they emigrate if they want?
