Go to Russia and all you get is Vodka, a drink that doesn't even have any colour.
Err, there's a selection of very good alcoholic drinks to be had in Russia.
As for ravelling wherever we want here, that is increasingly being curtailed. Only a little bit yet and only where there's unrest but it's started.
Democracy here? As if. Our electoral system is anything but democratic.
Actually Russia today is so far removed from when it was part of the USSR as to be almost unbelievable. Even in the days of the USSR things there were very different from how it was described in the MSM.
That's just to set the record straight BTW.
