Without a doubt in cinemas in mother russia, people sit on pure wooden benches with no cushioning at all ... not because russia is so poor, but because the moviegoers are so hardcoreTamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

When the original bladerunner came out where Soviet citizens even allowed to watch it?
Of course I've seen the original movie, when I still was a Soviet citizen!
Western moron!
I was 10 years old back then though.

Seriously speaking, you are terribly wrong about Russians. In Mother Russia we don't sit on benches - we stand and sing the anthem of Soviet Union, while watching black and white movies.

Look, I am glad the fall of the evil totalitarian empire finally made you free enough to see foreign films. Lord knows tgere are some good ones. That said, you did not get to see them until the authoritarian USSR had crumbled into the ash heap of history. I know you guys now suffer under a new authoritarian government where the ruling class is robbing you blind via corruption and where the lack of free trade means you lose still more of your spending power.
I hope you find a way to end the Putin dictatorship because doing so will mean a very real rise in the material wealth of the average Russian citizen. Democratic control would mean policies more in line with the wishes of your average citizen so everyone lives better. It would also mean the dictator would no longer have a lock of control of the media so that more voices could be heard and ultimately better policies can be enacted. One day maybe this will be true in Russia.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Er, Dinner? Have you read about what the nineties were like in Russia? "Democracy" consisted of ex-Soviets snatching up all the old state properties and setting themselves up as oligarchs. Putin was a modest improvement insofar as he centralized the corruption and imposed order. But the democratization of the nineties was actually the nadir of Russian experience in most people's memory. The economy collapsed, there were shortages of almost everything, and Russia was run by literal gangsters for about a decade while Yeltsin did nothing.
To put it another way, when in history was Russia happy, prosperous, and free, all at once? I can't think of a time. It might be possible, but it will be much more complicated than simply getting rid of Putin.
And yes, I'm sure Serb will tell me I'm a brainwashed Western idiot, Russia is happy and free now, blah blah blah.

I was born in 1977, that means I've seen it in 1987!
Western moron!
