    Is there a version of Ice Road Truckers on Russian TV?
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Never heard of that.

        No idea. I know we get assimilated easily.

          So, in that case, do all Russians who immigrate into the United States racists because they think we're racists?

            Are you sure they're Russians and not some other ethnicity from Russia/xUSSR?
            Also, don't forget that in less multicultural countries the acceptable levels of racism are higher than in the US.

              Do you foresee US/Russian relations getting better or worse in the future, and why?

              I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                Why are all Russians born before 1991 ex-Soviets?

                  I'd rather they got better, but I fear it will only happen when both countries stop badmouthing communism and American imperialism.

                  By defiition. Even Saras is one, and he's not Russian.

                    Is there any such thing as Russian beer, or is Vodka really the only spirit over there?

                      Why is Russia still not a member nation of the WTO? They gave up the whole command economy earlier than the Chinese did but China got admitted in 2001. What will it take to bring them into GATT and the WTO?

                        There are many local beer brands, but almost none are exported.

                        Joining WTO isn't something that is beneficial for a country that depends on unsophisticated exports.

                          Would you describe Russia as a whole to be an unsophisticated country?

                            How does the communist party fare in elections, and how is it regarded currently by the population?

                            How do most people regard the USSR?

                            Do people worry that Putin is taking too much power?

                            How do people regard Obama?

                                No, I wouldn't. Foreigners seem to have trouble integrating into Russian society.

                                CPRF is the most popular party after the Putin's one. Most people consider them impostors, though.

                                A lot of people would prefer to go back to the USSR.

                                As long as Putin manages to keep the economy afloat, people won't mind him usurping the power.

                                Obama is generally well-regarded. Some people do of course call him a monkey, but educated people don't.
