I think this is not only because people like Gary Kasparov running the other Russia theotherrussia.org/2010/03/18/a-historical-dead-end-putin-must-go/ makes a point that democracy does not exist in Russia, but Russians realize that the wool has been pulled over their eyes. Russian patriots I believe are those who believe in democracy. Those who believe in free press and free speech and do not want to live in fear of the government.<br /> Putin protests are against what Vladimir Putin represents, that is an old style post communistic oligarch leadership that benefits the people in power.<br /> If Russia truly had a democracy the middle class in Russian would make Russia a wealthy free nation. </p> http://peopleandlanguages.com/topic/moscow-or-st-petersburg#post-34 Fri, 01 Jan 2010 19:13:09 +0000 Yulia 34@http://peopleandlanguages.com/ <p>I would say St. Petersburg is a much more livable city, but you make more money in Moscow. Even with the darkness in winter I prefer St. Petersburg, Russia. </p> http://peopleandlanguages.com/topic/moscow-or-st-petersburg#post-31 Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:25:30 +0000 Marzena 31@http://peopleandlanguages.com/ <p>Have not been to either but with the fall of the Russian Ruble I think its about time. I think Moscow is easier to fly into, then take an over night train to St. Petersburg. </p> http://peopleandlanguages.com/topic/moscow-or-st-petersburg#post-27 Thu, 31 Dec 2009 09:57:58 +0000 Allan 27@http://peopleandlanguages.com/ <p>I prefer St. Petersburg, Russia over Moscow. Moscow is pure action and fun, but St. Petersburg is more eloquent and charming and in my opinion has more culture. </p> http://peopleandlanguages.com/topic/russia-and-democracy#post-25 Thu, 31 Dec 2009 09:49:42 +0000 Olga 25@http://peopleandlanguages.com/ <p>I have no idea why Russians prefer Putin than true democracy. Granted Putin was a strong leader, but nothing helps a country more than free movement of labor and capital between countries and open economy with no corruption. </p>
