On my lunch break I went to the nearest shopping centre to vote. I was the only person in the place under the age of 70.

People complain that the government isn’t radically overhauling our entire economy and society, this is the reason for that.

    So you are fluent in Russian language?

    I know that the election process is gamed to some degree even if it’s not Trump style.

    Trying to get straight answers out of candidates or parties is near impossible and I’ve tried. They simply ignore my emails and if in person, at the market stalls, they do the same.

      I’m going to study the language only when I have reliable income to travel, otherwise I learn language, only to forget it, then pay thousands of dollars for more language lessons. Foreigners don’t need fluency in Russian language to teach English in a high school, just need to be good enough. I’m not sure how to define fluency, but obviously it’s impossible to pass certification if I don’t know any grammar, for example.
