What is the reason behind the Russian government's negative view on foreign travel?

Beer, crabs, sneki (snacks). Temperature of refrigeration +5C. Men in Mines not drink warm beer thank you very much.

Look carefully at communist names of streets in Mines. Karl Marx Avenue, Red Army Avenue, Proletarians Street, Paris Commune Street, Lenin Street, Soviet Street, Workers-Peasants Street (raboche-krestyanskaya). Krasin Street is named after industrialist and revolutionary who represent Bolsheviks in Europe. Buried in the Kremlin wall. Chernokozov is native born son and Bolshevik too. Practically every street in this screenshot is related to communism!

In this picture ice is no. Puddles is yes. Muddy season. Soon summer time to repair roads and make some money. It make Russia go round. Mines has very much more women than men because men die in mines like flies. Is because oligarch owners save on safety and men drink themselves to death fast. But then mines closed. Mines is without mines! Men leave look for work. Women stay. One time I want to go look for new girlfriend in Mines but was warned that is very dangerous. Bandits shake down who not local and hooligans beat up.

How do you find out who your handler is as a targeted individual?

Mines have factories.

As you can see this dreary, depressing landscape calls for escape and what better than travel on Americansky and Europeansky jets to sunny countries, eat Italian pizza or Americansky cheeseburger and drink Coca Cola, fix your computer to access social networks invented in America and watch videos on YouTube, go to theatre to watch Shakespeare play, and buy Nike shoes? You may say: but Russians hate West! Who told you? Mass media? First and foremost, Russians don’t understand West. Therein lies the core of the problem. Not in emotions and feelings but in cognizant deficiency. Russians appreciate and admire West nonetheless. Not China. Not Iran. Not United Arabic Emirates. Putin is hoodwink you - there has been no pivot to China.

Shakti and Rostov region in general is better know in Russia for serial killers. Andrei Cheketilo, the most known serial killer, lived and killed in Shakhti. He responsible for over fifty dead young women. But it was long, long time ago.

Alabama reports its first 2025 case of this dangerous virus - AL.com

Parking lot for cars of the factory workers. They do not know how to organize proper parking lot with asphalt and markings and signs and all that. Because thinking process is different. They do not know how to think and do things like Westerners. At the same time they terrified of unorthodox morals (yet Russians know that far from everyone has unorthodox morals in West) but more so of a strange mentality and culture. There’s a product that everyone can recognize and then there’s a man behind the product and that man terrifies us. So there is fear. But fear of the UNKNOWN rather than fear of the KNOWN. What IS known is appreciated - see the shop signs.

Aurora Movie Theatre bears communist name. Is battleship that fired first salvo that started Russian revolution in St. Petersburg in 1917. But next is Mexican Bar (left) and McDonald’s (right). Poster advertises taxi services. They still don’t use taxi app.

The road is in fall and spring too. Some of ice melt by bright sun. Puddles crush asphalt. Is boon for public officials they can request public funds for repairs and wives want new house in Cyprus and new plastic surgery. Win win.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

German footwear. Is because good quality. It is 2021. If you were to tell shop assistants that we gonna fight Germany in two years they would laugh at you and call “crazy.” To the right, Curtain City. Is pun. In Russian, “shtor” has root of “curtains” but also sounds like word in English “store.” Store/Curtain City. They sew curtains. Venetian blinds. Custom made.

Take a look at repertoire of the local drama theatre and see how many references to Western culture you find in this Number One Brutalsky Town in Whole of Russia. There is Shakespearean Twelfth Night. On the first night. A Lifelong Dance is based on Isadora Duncan’s book “My life. My love.” American dancer Duncan was Russian poet Sergey Yesenin’s girlfriend. Yesenia killed himself. There is not necessarily connection. So we have 100% drama performances for grownups is based on Anglo Saxon material. Notice nothing based on Chinese books. Or Iranian. Or Arabic. Or any country from BRICs.

It is complicated but also is simple. No matter what Russians look west. And they not look east. There is no culture and civilization for him to seek in the east. Is true. I concur. Is the point of the post. Thank you for reading to the end and have a nice day, Westernsky.

What movies have not aged well?

Dreary streets. Grim houses. Bright shop signs vie for attention of customers. Many signs are related to the West because public officials do not steal everything from citizens over there and also Western civilization is accepted as superior. Pizza parlor “Miraculous Island Sicily.” Manicure for $1.50 and Massage $5. Prices from 2021. Now you multiply by two but still a bargain.

Okey Tour Agency. Is because everyone wants to get out of Mines. Computer World services. Buy and sell and repairs. Ditto to the right is another computer repair shop. Fill up empty ink cartridges for printers. Nobody can afford to buy new ink cartridges in Russia.

Hello. Brutalsky here. Let me introduce you town of Shakhti, Rostov Oblast. It means in Russian “mines.” Is because there used to be mines there. Not landmines that explode it would be further west in Donbas but where you dig natural resources and sell to buy mansions in France and super yachts. The hot water mains are not dig under ground and wrapped in cloths like mummy. Potholes is because cold winter and corrupt officials who steal nine rubles out of ten for construction and repairs and then shop around to commission road construction cheapest deal. As result we have rich crooks and vast majority honest folks who have nothing to their name pretty much. Church tell them they can’t take money and property with them to heaven better leave it to priests. The road is in summer.

Which is a better option, a love marriage or an arranged marriage in India?

In winter it’s covered in ice draped with snow. Nobody bother to clear snow because it will melt anyways come spring. Why alter natural cycle of things? Cars skid and drift. Pedestrian trip and fall and break bones. Is no worry free healthcare there is cast in hospital bones grow back until summer. The pipe is gas. Electric poles lean like Pisa Tower.

Another pizzeria on the ground floor. Tour agency on second floor. And custom made cakes. Mall is called Milano. “Planet Second Hand” store and a canteen that emphasizes meals for 100 rubles ($1). I doubt you can buy anything for 100 rubles not with all that rampant inflation.

DNS is gadgets online store. “Giper” means hyper. Hyper DNS. Sportmaster is a chain store that sells sports equipment and clothes. Today I buy in local Sportmaster a pair of discounted Columbia hiking boots.

Why do we often have strong feelings for our twin flames, even if they don't feel the same way? Is there a way to make them realize their true feelings for us?
