Petrograd Capital

me and some users are against this innovation but apparently it will have to be accepted. thanks for the answer.

well, what's the point to reinvent the wheel?

it's practical. you can see absolutely all recent activity from the user: messages and other. much easier to search for any kind of message. for example, it is more important than ever to me as a person doing this. the page "about me" is confusing, especially for those who have been on the forum for a long time and in fact does not make sense. that is all.

Return activity to the first page. Let's talk why and why. I spoke with a lot of forum users. I will say this: many are perplexed by the innovation of "Friends System". By the way, the function is not bad. However this is at least not convenient for me as well as for other users. In order not to gossip, I decided to ask the opinion of users who can also express it in this thread. People, for the most part, go to the profile to view the activity, not its description. * What don’t you find comfortable about it? — It's simple. It is not comfortable.

can i ask a question? this system is due to the fact that now, when entering the profile, you can immediately see the "about us". it is not comfortable.

so easy. it is gadzila.

sure because this is sherbie-kun

I will add a few words (background anthem) we have talked relatively enough about russia but i think that i should talk about our history, which, well, very few people know, not only outside russia, but also in russia itself. i will still be pleased to answer your questions about my motherland. 1991 year — " First of all, it should be recognized that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the largest geopolitical catastrophe of the century. For the Russian people, it has become a real drama. Tens of millions of our fellow citizens and compatriots found themselves outside the Russian territory. The epidemic of disintegration also spread to Russia itself " - 2th president of russia - vladimir putin. The Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989. already the president of the ussr mikhail gorbachev signs a declaration on the termination of the existence of the ussr. at present, there is no single assessment and comprehensive analysis of the reasons that led to the collapse of the ussr. proclamation of sovereignty by the republics of the ussr: russia, ukraine, estonia, lithuania, latvia, azerbaijan, georgia, belarus, turkmenistan, armenia, tajikistan, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan. 1993 — this date is familiar to every russian historian. i decided to highlight it because the americans call it the year of the construction of democracy in russia. we have built a democracy with blood, with the blood of at least 157 people. september 21 - october 4, 1993, moscow, shelling of the white house. " The day after the storming of the Supreme Soviet, the Constitutional Court issued a statement that it resigned from its function of checking the constitutionality of normative acts and international treaties of the Russian Federation. After the end of the events, by decree of Boris Yeltsin, October 7 was declared the Day of Mourning. The investigation of the events was not completed, the investigation team was disbanded after in February 1994 the State Duma adopted a decision on amnesty for those who participated in the events of September 21 - October 4, 1993, related to the issuance of Decree No. 1400, and opposed its implementation. regardless of the qualification of actions under the articles of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR [150]. As a result, society still does not have unambiguous answers to a number of key questions about the tragic events that took place - in particular, about the role of political leaders who spoke on both sides, about the identity of snipers who shot at civilians and police officers, the actions of provocateurs, about who is to blame for the tragic outcome. There are only versions of participants and eyewitnesses of the events, an investigator of a disbanded investigation group, publicists and a commission of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, headed by the communist Tatyana Astrakhankina, who came to Moscow from Rzhev at the end of September 1993 to protect the House of Soviets, which party comrades, in particular Alexey Podberezkin, called "Orthodox". In accordance with the new Constitution, adopted by popular vote on December 12, 1993 and in force with some changes until January 15, 2020, the President of the Russian Federation received significantly broader powers than under the Constitution of 1978 in force at that time (with amendments 1989-1992) ... The post of vice-president of the Russian Federation was eliminated. " 1999 year — Putin's Russia. i see no reason to write something else here because many people know what happened at that time and how. however, few people know, but putin, before becoming president, was the director of the fsb (in america, this is the fbi).

why should we not love americans? we are all humans. in my life, I have never seen bias towards tourists. I saw only interest and a warm welcome.

i will answer in order: homophobia and racism. there is almost no racism in russia at all, only in relation to the inhabitants of north asia. there is homophobia. 70% of russians are homophobes. on account of the bias towards tourists. in russia every third person knows english, almost all russians will be interested in learning about life in the West, many russians want to move there. so the welcome will be warm. волнения из-за того что ты с Америки очень спорные. я бы не волновался на этот счет. русским всегда интересно общаться с кем-то новым. такие уж мы люди. — *the excitement that you are from america is very controversial. I wouldn't worry about that. russians are always interested in communicating with someone new. that is how we are people.

why do you think so? i met many americans who flew to russia for exchange. they were welcome.

however, in russia they are prohibited and punishable by criminal liability. i personally think that russia is missing a lot of things but in fact, not everything is so bad. i understood what you mean, i will explain right now. in soviet times, in addition to the usual revolution, there was also a cultural revolution the so-called personality "Cult of Stalin" and repression. the soviet union raised new people on the ideas of marxism and classical leninism. MOST imperial art was censored, much prohibited...especially related to religion. after the fall of the soviet regime, all censorship was removed and since then all temporary arts are supported by our government. the soviet union devoted itself to 10 years of recovery (two five-year plans) - working plans for the restoration of russia and the re-education of society. then it was not strange and only helped to strengthen the soviet union. the historical truth is that the soviet union was planning an attack on the german reich in 1942. operation "Thunderstorm". during the two wars (world war II and the cold war), it was far from art. our people were raised to die for ideas, not appreciating art in its full glory but this is different from the ideas of fascism and the japanese empire.

mimosa? wow. we are sitting with my friend from ukraine, talking, trying to understand what it is that is what the indigenous people mean

life in the cis countries is very different from your sweet life in the usa. people do not live with us, they survive. for gay marriage, this is the most immoral and wrong. i personally have nothing against lgbt because i am a libertarian. " But even the music of Russia has been squandered by the Russian government a number of times. " — can be more? classical music in russia (opera) has always been and will be the main gold standard of music. i am one of those who love her. you listen to billie eilish, we have a morgenstern — everyone has it. music was never choked by our government, but only supported. i am also a southerner, but from russia. " now the climate here seems to be quite clean and the architecture is really unique. " — the architecture is unique, the climate is far from it. in the center of st. petersburg knee-deep snow...

lada has always been and will be disgusting cars — the fact. i will not argue about cultural autonomy.

ketchup chips? first time i hear about such. never met. there is no diet in the whole world! i don't remember all our unique dishes except borscht although while writing this message i remembered something else: russian dumplings (pelmeni), pancakes, a huge variety of salads (olivier salad, vinaigrette, pickled cucumbers in jars, jam in jars, RUSSIAN marshmallow, headcheese and my favorite — kvass) - the traditional russian eat. i really love canada due to its nature and kinds...second largest country and the climate is like in russia

didn't see ur message right away. let's talk. the struggle for international influence between russia and the united states has been going on since the days of the cold war even after the collapse. alexey navalny is a true russian clown but actions towards him are funny to tears. the russian people really understand very well that their opinion, especially in the elections, is far from being taken into account. potential opposition is recognized as traitors by the state and goes to jail. russia is indisputably an authoritarian state that is not yet ready for democracy. we russians ask ourselves the question when going to the polls - who if not putin? alexey navalny?; vladimir zhirinovsky striving to unleash a war with nato & usa? — no, thanks. the losses of russians in the second world can never be replenished. russia, like many other powers, paid the price for this war.

I have a few comments. first, most likely nicholas II would have been a better emperor than alexander III because it was alexander who warmed up the situation and put his son in a difficult position. i studied Nikolai's question in detail. he had two paths: to come to the signing of the constitution or to remain neutral. secondly, nicholas had only one son - alexey. he suffered from a rare disease - leukemia. as rasputin said: "when I die, russia will die too". he died, there was a revolution. you save rasputin - you save russia. @Califorum

relations with china are really very strong. i don't know how in europe or united states but in russia it is much cheaper to buy chinese goods than russian. i literally come from nowhere: small town in russia - astrakhan. i also lived in vadivostok (on the border with china), in kaliningrad (baltics), now i live in st. petersburg. i will say this, my life in the moscow region is much worse. the russian people are going through the transition from soviet society to democracy and this is really visible. nevertheless, in fairness, i will say that the russian people are angry with each other and want to leave their motherland. i mostly personally traveled mainly to asia and eastern europe. most russians generally do not leave the borders, but I usually go to finland every two to three months. my parents are conservative communists you asked this question to the right person. in russia, as a rule, they talk about the ussr and its collapse as a joke. however, few people remember what sacrifices and costs we built at least the title of democracy. i consider the collapse of the ussr a shame in russian history. i say this as a historian. the storming of the white house (state duma) is a great shame in history of russia but most russians do not even know the history of their country. russia has experienced one of the worst civil wars in human history. our emperor was killed by a dictatorship, and monarchy fell back in the 20th century. if you are talking about the independence of ukraine, then remember about the russian anarchists who were used and then occupied. — Despite this, there is still some instability and Unrest within the various non-Russian sectors of Russia. — riots are rare here. we can say that like everyone else, that is, then no... this is my photo of st. petersburg, next to the winter palace. i was not sick with coronavirus, perhaps due to the holidays and the vodka that i drank, drank and drank.

oh ... i eat burgers several times a week in general, the food situation is for the most part the same as with russia because everything is the same with us. thanks

there are relatively many american restaurants in russia but much more american classics coffee shops. here i already have a mutual question for you. in russia, the most frequent dishes are: potato, chicken soups and the the most popular russian dish "borscht". my question for you: as i understand you from united states. i have always wondered what they eat in the states?
