You can learn a lot about a society through its infrastructure. Here’s the Kiyevskaya metro station in Moscow.

its the culture. they do not pander to minority groups.
This along with Carlson’s trip to the Russian grocery store could push globalists over the edge.
Does anyone else find it highly ironic with the sign in back and to the right of Tucker that reads Joki. Just an observation which or may not mean anything.
Much like the demographics of the three SAFEST STATES in the US – Maine, NH, and Vermont, it’s an obvious absence of dark skin and the problems that seem to come with it. Would even the NY subway be that bad if the demographics were different in the city/state?
It sure used to be, MrLiberty. Now it’s Dark City (the movie) without Russ Sewell to save them.

What does it mean in your head?
Dump the republican party before it’s too late! Lincoln did us no favor.
Whitey (etc),
Yes, dump the RePubeLiTard Party.
But it’s too late.
Just keep in mind the Russian govt has price controls on things like groceries and if you haven’t noticed, political opponents seem to die young.
The videos seem to show the general population are nice people though.
Russia is far from paradise, but with democrat/swamp fascism upon us (including trans/pedo perversion and ghetto terror and open border terror and inflation terror), Russia’s looking good.
beachmom – the population EVERYWHERE is generally pretty nice. Its the GOVERNMENT that causes ALL the problems through their policies, central banking, taxation, preferential treatment, welfare, subsidies, etc.
Tucker I hope you’ve come home

people I encounter in the bush were kind and
decent.

I like Tucker, I really do, but he needs to unglued his lips from Russia’s ass…
My wife grew up in the Soviet Union. In 2008, I traveled with her to Moscow to visit friends of hers. Her friends were wonderful people and made me feel very welcomed. They were generous and went out of their way to make our visit a good one. Moscow is a beautiful and historic city even though, like all large cities, it has its problems. There were virtually no fat women and almost all of them were dressed very nicely. As a former member of the Strategic Air Command, whose mission it was to deter Soviet aggression through the promise of nuclear hell, I came home with the knowledge the everyday Russian citizens were pretty good people who just wanted to raise their families and live a good life.

I watched a Russian TV interview translated to English and they were interviewing someone way high up in their intelligence community. The topic was possible nuclear war with the U.S. and during the back and forth he made the statement that the average Russian citizen and the average American citizen have more in common than any other peoples on the face of the earth. What do you think of that statement?
Seth Rogan, possibly the dumbest guy in Hollywood, did a movie several years back, The Interview, where he goes to North Korea as a journalist to interview Jong-Un Kim. His taxi drives by all these supermarkets, brimming with food and choices. He later finds out that all these stores were empty warehouses with images of happy people buying food, stenciled on the windows.
I get the feeling the regime allows Tucker to see what they want him to see.

By the way, the metro (subway) stations were awesome. I saw many of them and some more beautiful than the one in this story. They are clean, bright and uncivilized behavior was not tolerated and nowhere to be found. The trains ran often and on schedule. The only problem is that the stations are pretty far apart from one another. An apartment near a station is a real luxury.
@ Brad
I agree with that.
Also, I think I shared this before but I know a guy that I see and talk to regularly, born and raised in Russia, over here on a VISA as a tennis instructor for promising HS school kids. I talked to him for about an hour when the war started, and about 4 or 5 times in the last year.
The gist of what he told me is this; the people of Russia not only support Putin but they support the war. They feel it is justified because they need a buffer between themselves and an ever-encroaching NATO who is now right on their borders.
Their history is full of hardships and deprivations so in the pursuit of border security they will undergo whatever rationing or sacrifices necessary.

That used to be the case. When I went there in 2008, I had unfettered access to anywhere in the city and we also traveled out into the countryside to stay with other friends of my wife. I was impressed with what I saw compared to what I expected to see. Food was more expensive than in America, but it was widely available. We went into many grocery stores and even a Metro Store, which is their version of Costo, and the quantity and quality of everything was impressive. Things might not be as good today because of Putin’s rule, but things aren’t as good here today, either, because of Biden’s rule. Like us, the average Russian citizen is having to deal with crappy leadership.

As a side note, and interestingly enough, USA, Russia Olympic Wrestling programs are a tight knit bunch. They swap wrestlers all the time. Meaning we’ll have a few fly out to Russia, move in with the families of Russian wrestlers that fly out here. They live with those families and wrestle for the opposing team. The Uke war has not phased that practice one bit.
On that visit to Moscow, our host was showing us around their small apartment. I looked in the corner of a bedroom and spotted a Kirby vacuum cleaner. My wife’s friend noticed my attention to it and asked my wife why I was studying it so closely. I told my wife that I was surprised they had a Kirby and that it was considered by many to be the Rolls Royce of American vacuums. Her friend hugged me and thanked me for that comment. She had paid over 3,000 dollars for it and had taken flack from her husband ever since. It was her pride and joy as Russian women are very good housekeepers. It meant so much to her that I was impressed with it. She felt vindicated.
