I love my visits to Russia. I love the open spaces, unlike our crowded UK, I love the food that you can buy in the delicatessens, I love a picnic in the park and sitting round a fountain all evening and having a beer and chatting with local people, I love the metro and the railways, I love that the hot water is switched off in summer, I love the churches, but most of all the people, even the old lady selling tickets in the metro that shouted at me..... I don't like to see McDonalds and western shops and coffee houses. In England and in towns in America towns are becoming identical in their shops etc. You could be in any town and they all look exactly the same.

Big, but quite poor. Second and third by territory countries(Canada and USA) live way better. So I think Russia could be first with all its territory and resources but it is not, unfortunately.
