Cannabis is illegal, but everybody know where to buy it 24/7. "Ecstasy" drug is illegal, but it's being sold in any night club almost openly. Tax evasion is illegal, but it's like a national sport in Russia. In the USA or Germany you will be quit about it, but in Russia tax evasion is a reason for bragging. Smoking in public places is forbidden, but everybody does it. Actually even drinking beer on public is forbidden to, but who cares? How many people were shot dead by police during the last year in Moscow?

Check this out: https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...15-prison.html - you can get up to 15 year in prison for a public sex in the "free" States. Max you can get here for the same "crime" is a fine of $1000 (in fact it will be a $100 bribe to the pocket of police officer).

So, don't be a clown and don't tell me what I can do here and what I can't.
so basically Russia is an anarchy and the only thing you cannot do is openly criticize it (as a journalist or political opposition) because that gets you silenced.

thanks for explaining


edit: And I think we can also agree that it is very helpful to create outside enemies to get your own people behind you - like Putins approval rates confirm
