    I have a russian coworker that goes back every year to visit her family. She too insists that russia is awesome and it’s even better since the war started

    Bizarre. I don’t know any Russians who haven’t commented on the increased propaganda and how expensive everything’s gotten. Apparently there’s more diverse brands in stores now tho lol. Do they at least mention how expensive everything is?

    I’m sure all those places aren’t as bad as American media makes them out to be, but they’re not as peachy as their side says either.

    That’s literally my only point here. There’s people who think NK is full of mustache-twirling villains who execute you if you watch a TV show.

      Nah, mostly she just complains about pretty normal stuff that’s unrelated to that. She’ll be back next week, this time she stayed a bit longer than usual, might’ve felt less like a tourist this time so might have actual complaints. But I doubt it. She’s what the Russians would call a vatnik, I think… despite living outside Russia for over 30 years now.
