      @@johnsun3854 Soviet Union had to solve pressing housing issue after entire western Russia was reduced to ash by previous version of European Union. Plus, it had to do it cheap since Cold War had begun immediately after that with Churchill's Fulton speech, so ICBMs and nuclear warheads had higher priority for allocation of country's resources.

    Been to Russia one time Sint Peteresburg, really loved it. Plan to go back one time during the white nights. (day where there's 24 hours of day light). But you're right it feels European, a mix of Amsterdam, Paris but most definitly a very Russian/Eastern European feeling to it. You're also right about the Russian character, in the streets they look grumpy and distant, but after even sharing one drink they open up, they're ver much less tainted by the everything is political mind cancer.

    Seems like a nice place. St. Petersburg may have been a planned city and not built in an ideal place but it really ended up working well as a major world city. It is a testament to Russia's attempt to connect to it's European roots and Europe. Peter the Great was a known Hollandophile, he not only based his city on Amsterdam, but the beautiful Russian flag was also inspired by the Dutch one. I am interested in the Slavs and Eastern Europeans, as while they are not perfect they appear more culturally authentic than Europeans.
    In one way I envy you Endeavour, and like modern Russia. I do not deny what you say in the video. I would like to believe the right wing rhetoric about Russia being a conservative Christian bastion and the possible saviour of the West and based Russia and Putin. It would be nice if it was true. But Russia sadly has many problems with abortion, alcoholism, HIV, suicide, crime, at least some Soviet reverence and revanchism, etc. A century ago the brackets destroyed what could have been a beautiful, advanced, developed and leading country of the world, Russia before WW1 definitely had problems but it was slowly and steadily growing, improving, and becoming stronger technologically and culturally, was approaching the level of it's European peers and the people were inculcated with Christian values, families were large. Nicholas II was a good and capable leader, but his tragic decision to bring his country into the tragic and disastrous Great War just because the Serbs who were arguably in the wrong were fellow Slavs ultimately had fatal consequences for his nation and empire, may God bless his soul. It opened the door for the brackets and their accomplices to destroy his country and institute a 72 year Evil Empire, that Russia today is far from fully recovering from. They experienced cultural deconstruction before we did, albeit in a different manner.
    And the same brackets who did it there are doing it here, in the rest of the West, with accomplices without whom, as a minority, they could not succeed using policies and ideologies that, while different, are part of the same family as the one they did there. They have gained so much ground, so much successes, and have so much of the world in their grasp, are behind so many evil agendas, May God and His son Jesus have mercy on us all. One day when it is all over, may Mother Russia be reconciled not just to herself, but to the West, and may she find her true potential.

    I heard through John David Ebert though, Dostoevsky didn't like St. Petersburg, it apparently felt 'fake' or something, it isn't truly Russian in a sense, Moscow seems to be more spiritual capital of Russia. St. Petersburg It something like in the Spenglerian lens the symbolic city of the European/Western pseudomorphosis upon Russia literally named after the very man that tried to Westernize Russia. I wonder what Russia would be like if it becomes the 'true' Russia, perhaps we might see it in time. With all this intensification of enmity between the West and Russia presently, some people are saying Russia might turn more eastward, it seems the world dividing up broadly into two sides, the NATO/Atlanticist/ globalist West led by America and a sort of Eurasianist/BRICS side led by Russia. Many people seem to point to China as the next super power, and while their economy, industry and wealth seems to been thriving more dramatically so than Russia and have a population that dwarfs the bigger yet sparsely populated country up North (at least for now), I feel that Russia has a more promising future than that of China's in the long term, somehow I believe Spengler being right in his prediction that the future belongs to Russia, Russia apparently is still a young civilization, the building of these cathedrals, the seeming return of Orthodox Christianity and tradition maybe good little signs, along with seeming the rejection of the wokism and liberalism of the West, the discarding of bolshevism, communism (hopefully, for good). Also, with global warming, the melting of the ice and warming of some areas of the world maybe more of a a boon for Russia geostrategically, making more lands livable and opening up more resources, new routes for trade, the North Pole might become the new spotlight in human development.
    I may sound quite anti-western with what I'm saying here but I'm actually quite an admirer of the West, perhaps I admire the most are Germanic peoples than that of the Russians. It is just quite sad that the West is being ruled by corrupt and evil rulers, elites and ideology/ies. The fall of the West would be a great tragedy to mankind. For now and for foreseeable future I would prefer that Russia would take the lead than China as the high culture and archrival to American liberal world order, as they have more commonalities and familiarity with the West and Christianity. Hopefully as well, the current vile regimes that rule the West would collapse and retaken by the more based, traditional, good peoples that remain within the West.

      Not too badly. The worst thing is that foreign bank cards don't work in Russia and Russian bank cards don't work abroad. Also several things are more expensive now like electronics. But all in all, it hasn't destroyed the economy like many thought it would.

      St. Petersburg and Moscow are cool, but tourists should visit more "true" Russia, including their smaller cities and rural area. It's like a russian equivalent of dreaming the american dream, then getting your first healthcare bill.

      @@raskolnikov6443 Anything is reversibile, and I think it will actually be very similar. The soviet union has tried a lot of globohomo ideas in a other manner and with less gay. That's why Bukowski famously said "I've lived in your future and it didn't work" or "Russia is just the west in 70 years".

      "Any other" is too broad. Kazan is on level of Moscow/SPB, for instance.
