Inmate Central, where civil and family-friendly discourse about off-audio topics (other than religion and politics) is welcome.

The burrial, OTOH, is quite affordable :(

As I was waiting for my mother's ashes, they were running behind, and I had flight to catch... so the guy working there, in the formerly white lab coat (a camo gray now...) offered me to put some ashes in the urn... "What difference does it make whose they are?"

I declined... but who's to know what I finally received?

It is a rotten to the core society, at every level. There is nothing human about it. It is impossible for a foreigner to comprehend the degree of corruption, incompetence and just plain evil that exist there.

As far as some stories on how good life there is, on a Russian forum there is long... make it VERY long... thread on where and how to obtain cheese.

People making their own "Rockford" cheese by letting some cheap "kinda cheese" rot on a balcony.

You just can't make that shit up.

As far as their "nice clinics" I was once advised to go to one of them, located at a very famous St. Petersburg medical university. It was a new, private clinic, someone told me. It was called Delor.

So I went. I found the door with the sign on it - but it was locked. There were no hours posted on it, so I waited a few hours and then left.

Weeks later I happened to be inside that university and I discovered the other side of that door... there was nothing behind it. Just a corridor with sick people.

If one needed a perfect example of Potemkin's Villages - here's one.

My mother wanted to be buried next to my brother... so I collected all the documents and went to the cemetery. I walked into the office, which was full of people... it was one of those places where a typical Russian could easily spend a day waiting.

I had no choice, so I simply found a guy doing some work there. I paid him the price of a bottle of cheap vodka to borrow his shovel. I dug a hole in my brother's grave and buried my mother's (???) ashes.

I know where to find her. I don't care if anyone else does.
