Give me a few minutes and I will inv u <| sep |> more salt here than the food i ate today <| sep |> Thanks , I just purchased 5 pounds of it haha . <| sep |> it was in no way meant to report a bug , if anything it was a comedic post . <| sep |> JapanAll of Western Europe <| sep |> Then she would be in for a bitter surprise . My Sp . Attack Primarina is already level 100 and knows Moonblast . And I Hyper Trained it ' s Sp . Attack . <| sep |> Fidget Cube ! Can ' t wait for mine to arrive ! <| sep |> Russian here , . Officially speaking , there are 8 Federal Districts in Russia . Nonofficially , there are just 2 parts Siberia and European Russia . I would call , Kamchatka is the Australia of Russia . You can ' t get there by car . Novosibirsk is the biggest Siberian city for last like 5060 ish years . It is the 3 rd biggest in the country after SP and Moscow . Yakutsk not really a major city 300 k population , even my cityChita is bigger . Abovementioned Novosibirsk , Ekaterinburg , Omsk , Krasnoyarsk have over 1 m population . Irkutsk is a Siberian city and always was . Vladivostok , Khabarovsk have around 600 k population . Magadan is an industrial city . Well , originally it was . But yeah , a lot of prisoners were sent there . Fun fact Magadan is twin city of Anchorage , Alaska . But not only Magadan . A lot of cities in Siberia . For example , Dekabrists were sent to Chita , Irkutsk , Caucasus . There is the Museum of Dekabrists in my city , a lot of them were living here . Throughout history , prisoners were always sent somewhere in the assRoman Empire iirc did that as well . Exiles were brought in XVIII century or so as a replacement to the death penalty . At some point , it was Caucasus and Ural , Siberia later on . Known as Exile to Siberia . It was actually a smart move by politicians . They were solving 2 problems at the same time punishment and settlement of Siberia . Times , when someone was sent to assofnowhere and sit in a prison , were extremely rare . It was controlled of course , who and where . It could be as an additional punishment to your main or just sent at the end of your custody . When talkng about punishmentprisoners it is seen as bad guys killers , robbers . But that wasn ' t the case again . There were different people from intelligence , writers , students , antisoviet people . The harder your crime the father you get sent . That ' s why Magadan is often referred as a former prison colony . Cities like Chita , Irkutsk , Tomsk also had a lot of exiled people , most likely even more than to Magadan . Those people forced spreading culture , education to new areas . A lot of them have found new homeland . In the end exiling was a good thing . Here , in Transbaikal , we have Semeiskie descendants of exiled Old Believers from East Poland back in XVIII century . I am , myself , a part of Hamnigan peoplegood luck finding info on that . In Russia , there are 3 places where we exist . Probably , there are some more in Mongolia and China , but I don ' t think the overall population is higher than few thousands . That is like the most fascinating part about Russia fuckton of different nations with own culture , traditions , religions , languages . I ' m Hamnigan and have friends russians , tatars , mongolians , evenks , buryats . Did I say about chinese who study here ? Lamaism , shamanism , christianity , islam , protestanism , whatever . We don ' t really have much dialects or accents , even compared to USA . When I watch videos of someone from Florida , compared to New Jersey . You just can hear it , the way they speak is different . Doesn ' t happen in Russian really . You can live for 25 years in Vladivostoka city that is 100 ish km away from North Korea , then move to Kaliningrad 40 km away from Poland or so and 99 % of time you will understandwill be understood by anyone . That 1 % might not even happen in your lifetime . Thanks to soviet education . And maybe Russian language itself . When comparing to English , I thought of it as more structured and straightforward language than floating English . Taxes same , laws same . Well , most of them . We have codes Criminal Code , Family Code , Taxation Code , Civil Code , Labor Code and so on . They regulate everything everywheretaxes in US baffles me . There is a difference between cities in terms of an infrastructure of course , but not about societypeople etc . If I was asked , is there one thing that stands out of Russia , what it would be ? . I would answer Moscow . But the reason is pretty much the same as you would say NYC in USA money . Average wages higher , fancy things etc etc . Aside from that ? I don ' t really know . Perhaps SaintPetersburg , they have that fame of culturalpolite place . It ' s not really the case . They do have different words for some general things though . They might have different suffixes or completely other word . You just talk to a person for hours or maybe days and then just it ticks on some word what is that ? why do you say it that way ? wtf . Happens occasionally Pretty messedjumped here and there , but hopefully I opened a picture of Russia a little bit more for you . Feel free to ask anything EDIT 7 days from Moscow to Vladivostok by train . Yeah .
