Russians and Vodka

"Аnd the winner is... Finnish". Yes! Russians not consumes most stock of Vodka and other alcohols. I ready to admit, Russians drinks too much. Situation changed last years.
Which reasons? The society in Russa are devided in three slices. The tiny slice of very rich people, the very small slice of medium-rich, and ver big slice of poor and poorest people. You may to think poor and poorest people is main concumer of alcohol. You will right partically. The poor people has imperative: if you will to drink, you will lost the job. And no other chance to find better solution. MAny of poore people can't to find good job with good salary. They tired and they tries to find a solution in the bottom of bottle. I think this is ordinarily for many other nations.
Some people thinks that vodka is Russian national idea. I'm not agree. I think we have no any national idea yes. Russia in search now. Until new, good times.

About questions

You can to ask me about any side of life in Russia. I will answer with pleasure. Because ( as I know) native people outside Russia knows too little about Russia. Our country was closed many years. Now the time to be open. Just I want to tell about us.
I live in small provincial town. So I have too much different views on inside processes. If you know about Moscow, I need to say that Moscow is not other Russia.

The Roads

There's no roads in Russia. We have only directions. As Russian classic writer Saltikov-Schedrin said `Only two disasters in Russia: the fools and bad roads`.
Too many reasons for it. The main reason is hard climatic conditions. Second reason is road workers. They breaks a technology. Road companies does not use new techs. They wants easy money not quality. Who cares about people?
The State makes a lot of donations to road companies. We have no any effect. Political corruption is source of all problems.

Preamble

Surprise! There's no bears at Russian cities and towns. All bears are in Siberian Taiga (the deep dark forest). And a little part of then lives in zoos and circuses. So, no bears on streets.
