Nice to read from a person actually living in Russia. I used to watch Vremia but it has become too infuriating and ridiculous. And the america-hate is just pathetic, nobody in the Americas cares so much about russia as the russian media would lead you to believe. And that leads to stuff like russia banning adoption from American couples (and thus denying the opportunity for a good life to a bunch of orphans in underfunded orphanages) because of one isolated case and a general dislike of American mentality.

What infuriates me the most, are the russians in Canada. Sure, there are some reasonable people too but when you see facebook groups called "Russian Canada" with hundreds of people posting homophobic, anti-ukrainian, racist shit every day, it kinda ruins it. I don't hang out with russians much anymore. The most anoying part is them saying shit like "Russia is the greatest country in the world", while living in Canada on wealfare. And these people don't even have to listen to russian propaganda!

Urgh, infuriating.
