The guy behind this has replaced dozens of signs in this old historic town. He went through the old documents and learned how to make paint and fonts and everything - this is all done the right way. I think this is a beautiful trend that should spread.

Every city has an area of boring housing blocks but there are a ton of nice city centers with interesting architecture. A lot is being restored in the past few years very quickly. For some reason they struggle with paving roads - I think it's the harsh winter making it not worth the trouble sometimes.

Ahahaha amazing. It's a big chain store. But it looks different here.

Russian cities are much more interesting than expected outside moscow/st pete
Jeremiah Wilson
Murmansk is one that really surprised me, considering it is so far north. Looks very cozy, this is just an average street nothing special. shithole status of Russia appears to exagerrated.
Thomas Flores
I would smash and set fire to all those handmade signs
John Kelly
This reminds me of China, but not soulless.

that's why they make you take a drug and STD test before giving visa.

Zachary Jenkins

the cities remind of a cross between Europe and American for some reason. the main thing is you see pretty white women all of the time on google street view

I was in Rostov last year, when I was driving from St. Petersburg to the Crimea, visiting cities on the way. I liked Rostov a lot.

I can only imagine the agony giving way to immense, insatiable pleasure as she is driven open by a truly massive BBC. Her tight cervix would pulse, massaging the sacred organ and begging for it to release its holy liquid deep into her fertile, starving womb. In an instant, thousands of generations of pure, white ancestors (and their spotless genes) would be silenced as the melanic gametes pierce her waiting egg.

that looks very nice! the southern cities look most comfy for Americans. I don't know why people live in the anthills when there are places like this all over that would be easy to make very nice.

I know as a jew you find this strange but most people over age 14 are not into weird, graphic sexual stuff. It's off-putting and strange. We do not care to hear your fantasies.
William Hernandez
Kek. I remember there was an entire feature about how they repurposed this sign from a liquor store.
Asher Brooks
i want to live there so bad
i am just too fat and ugly in the mutt american way. ive had too much soi in my life. i would stick out like a sore thumb

anyone can lose weight, keto/low carb is the answer.
after browsing a few places Russian "shithole" claim appears to be mostly bullshit.
Asher Parker
Moscow looks as nice as any European city
Isaiah Foster
I would have believed you if you told me this was in Norway
Dylan Robinson
St. Petersburg reminds me of parts of Vienna

The wh*Toid fears the BBC
