You must go deeper into Russia - 150 kilometres from Moscow or more, and look there. The kids are fed with cattle feed - people don't get paid for half a year.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Russia is very big and very varied. People are different in different regions.
I don't have any opinions about Russians. There are celebrity persons in each country. Different people do different things.
I do not like Moscow life. You live here not as you want to live, but as old women want you to.
All the real things in Russia are done in the villages.
And the Russians certainly don't have it. If a woman shows up in a fur coat, I just assume she's a crook. And that's me, the nice American. The assumption that you can't make money honestly is a killer.
I don't like the mentality that comes with rich Russian men. Because they have money, they think they can buy a woman - and they do.
The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.
Business in Russia was not being done like in the West, with contracts. In Russia, hundreds of millions of dollars were going forward and backward by word of mouth.
The great drama of Russian history has been between its state and society. Put simply, Russia has always had too much state and not enough society.
I am convinced that the norm in Russia should become a family with three children.
