But menie is the richest country in the world and the people there are rich, dignified, happily.
And we with creativity and with the formation of sitting in w ***.
And rejoice: "Americans are stupid !!!"

COP, if you do not mind, I have a little supplemented by the reverse:
We, for one only survived 2 XX century revolution, 3 wars, war communism, NEP, moronity party leadership, restructure and return to the world economic system, etc. etc. And naturally, we do not live as rich as Americans, but we have not lost their sense of humor, I am a - a real (not sit-km with a banana) and love of beauty: literature, art (as opposed to money). At least I hope so.
Now imagine for a moment that the "great experiment of the twentieth century" came not Russia but America? What would have been with them ...

Now try to answer why a "great experiment of the twentieth century" came not in America, and Russia?

"Make everything a broad, clear, pave the way for a breast, I wish only to live in this time'm not perfect nor have I nor you"

COP, if you do not mind, I'm a little supplemented by the reverse:
We, for one only survived 2 XX century revolution, 3 wars, war communism, NEP, mass repression, moronity party leadership, restructure and return to the world economic system, etc. etc. And naturally, we do not live as rich as Americans, but we have not lost their sense of humor, I am a - a real (not sit-com with a banana) and love of beauty: literature, art (as opposed to money).

It is possible, and I'll add a little bit?

Everything you write about Russia, perfectly true.
But it is difficult to blame the America that all these disasters do not hit her, and Russia - this is the first point.
And secondly, why would you compare the Russian intelligentsia with his humor and love of the beautiful with the American plumber, conducting all his free time, enjoying the sitcom and eating Hamburger?

Indeed, in Russia and enough people who have no traction or to the great literature, nor high art does not have - look, to listen, to read, that hangs on the walls of the house most of the people.

America has created in the twentieth wonderful art - Faulkner, Williams, Roth, Bellow, and several American symphony orchestras are among the ten best, about painting, I'm not saying - Hopper, O'Keeffe, Rothko, Wyeth, Pollock, Jasper Johns, Robert Indiana, Dibenkorn - this list is far from complete - it's all great artists.

Strictly speaking, culturally fate of America a bit like Russia: a young country was able to absorb the culture of the world, and based on its established its.

Am I America in something blame? This - my second homeland, in the sense that I know this country is not on-hearsay. Just seems to me that not all people would be left out of all the troubles that fell upon us in only one of the twentieth century with such dignity (I'm talking about the people, rather than individual members of it).
As plumbers - we have they are the same ...

It looks like it has not yet released, and remembering that the results of voting in the "Name of Russia" (project gostelekanala Russia, aiming at the selection of important personalities associated with Russia, by a vote of Internet users, TV viewers and radio listeners) just did not "win" Stalin .
Or may be won, if we recall that the results of the first scandal of the voting was annulled, and the vote on the exit in the third round was started anew. The reason for this administration site called "war machines", hacker attacks and flash-mob during the vote.

all about.

Yes. And this list is already possible to change. For example, the best: Russian salary (if you work in Gazprom), Russian cuisine (Peoples of the USSR and at home), the Russian house (if for yourself, then build on a century), Russian wife (and his horse, and in the hut, and .. .) worst: Russian salary (what's this?), Russian cuisine (and where is she?), Russian house (and how's this?), Russian wife (well, yes !)...
