Cold and misserable... you can swindle these people here,not me :) [/quote] Advertising of alcohol (and tobacco too) is banned in Russia since 2012 (though now ban or advertising of beer is temporary lifted under FIFA requirements). Alcohol is not sold at night. And 90% of Russians support this measures. And general alcohol consumption per person is dropping since then: http://f5.s.qip.ru/17hKVgp6i.jpg Structure of alcohol consumption has changed from strong spirits towards less harmful ones, while also dropping in volume: http://f5.s.qip.ru/AUIOQ8IA.jpg [/quote]
Original Message
I’m on GLP for more than a year and quite tired of a bunch of popular misconceptions and myths you people have about my country. That’s aside from clear propaganda and some trolls (or shills – whatever).
So, I’m willing to answer some questions regarding my country to have a page to where direct all the recurring rubbish I encounter here.
As a short summary – I studied history (mostly Japanese though) in university-level college. Before that I was interested in programming. So, I can answer quite a wide variety of questions. Don’t expect however me having a lot of “special” knowledge. There is some of that too, but quite outdated and not that interesting.
BTW, I’m not tolerant at all. I’ll block for excessive swearing and trolling without any hesitation. I’ll answer any questions I can - even if I don’t like them - as long as they are asked politely. Don’t expect to like all of the answers though.
