  1. Asbestos in Russian apartments? I don't doubt they have that too.

  2. Russia is Moldor on planet Earth. There is even a Russian book The Last Ring Bearer, based on Lord of the Rings but with inverted logic, Sauron is the good guy, and Frodo and Sam were the baddies, search it up. Never read this Russian book, but I read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.

  3.  @EconLessons  Russian society is sick to the core. It is so corrupt. I don't only think is communist, Romania Czechia, Estonia, and Poland were communist countries and their societies aren't like this. I think this is how the Russian Czar the country, Ivan the Terrible, Russia was always an autocratic country, which is their culture. Even though communism is evil I call BS that Russia is like this because of communism, what about Poland, Czechia, Romania, and the Baltic states?

  4. Poland will be a first-world country soon. But Polish society is scared by communism and even Nazi occupations, this stays in collective memories. And we have to never forget the past. Poland in the 1980s and even 1990s was horrible but they built a decent country.

  5. Is there a Black Market economy in Russia? I know statistics can be lied to. But the Black Market economy is not counted and it coexists with the formal economy, in Latin American countries there is a black market economy, which you might think is illegal things, but the Black Market can sell legal things too is just the company is not registered in the tax system and operates in the informal economy.

There are also counterfeit products sold in the black market, fake glasses, lv bags. Black market is very diverse.
