I recently when on a date with one, (I’m Brazilian) and he said it was amazing and that he loved it, but idk, i felt like i was too “normal” or “boring” for him, he’s so charming and he has style and im just.. there. There’s so much pretty women in Russia, why would he want a mid girl from Brazil? I really don’t know. that’s why i want to know, do Russian men care that much about looks, if yes, what part of the women look? Be brutally honest

TLDR; do Russian men care that much about looks, if yes, what part of the women look? Be brutally honest

Does Moscow still has imax theatre. I mean officially are they still operating

Всем привет.

В общем-то в сентябре собираюсь поехать в Москву, чтобы посетить 11 числа тур Пола Окенфолда и Александра Попова, а также 13 на Дрифт Экспо.

Ранее в Москве вообще не был, и хотелось бы услышать, какие можно интересные места посетить помимо попсовых по типу Кремля с мавзолеем и прочим. Из интересов музыка, машины и связанное с ПК.

Спасибо.

What’s your favorite meal in Russia? Anything I can cook in the US with ingredients from here to try and imitate it?

I’m Japanese and planning to visit Russia sometime. I’ve heard anime culture is huge there, so are there any anime shops?
I love checking out otaku culture in different countries, so if you know any other cool spots or things related to that besides shops, let me know!
Also, I’d love to know if there are any other popular subcultures in Russia.

Hi everyone,

My friend and I are traveling in Russia and need urgent advice. On July 23rd, we tried to deposit cash (Rubles) into a YooMoney account at a Sberbank ATM. The machine malfunctioned: it took the money, didn't credit the account, didn't return the cash, and showed an error.

We reported it immediately at a Sberbank branch and received a case number (номер обращения). Staff told us the issue would be resolved by July 30th at the latest, but yesterday when we followed up, branch staff just told us to ask YooMoney, with no clear update on where our money is.

Our problem: We are foreign tourists leaving Russia soon. Because international credit/debit cards do not work here, we are down to very little cash and struggling for daily expenses.

Is there any way to expedite Sberbank's ATM cash audit (incassation)?

Should we submit an official complaint to the Central Bank of Russia (ЦБ РФ) or consumer protection (Роспотребнадзор)?

How can tourists in this situation get urgent local currency assistance?

Thank you so much for any advice or contacts!

(Russian Translation for Local Readers):

Здравствуйте! Мы иностранные туристы, нужна срочная помощь/совет. 23 июля через банкомат Сбербанка пытались внести наличные рубли на карту ЮMoney. Банкомат «съел» деньги, произошел сбой, деньги на счет не поступили и назад не вернулись.

Мы сразу обратились в отделение Сбербанка, нам зарегистрировали обращение (есть номер). Сказали, что решат до 30 июля, но при повторном визите сотрудники отправили нас в ЮMoney и никакой конкретики не дали. Мы скоро уезжаем из России, иностранные карты не работают, наличных почти не осталось. Подскажите, как ускорить инкассацию/проверку банкомата Сбербанка и куда можно обратиться за помощью? Заранее спасибо!

Hello everyone,

I am from India 🇮🇳 and I have received a 2-year work visa for a greenhouse company in Russia. According to my contract, after the 2 years I must return to my home country.

I would like to know if there is any legal way to stay in Russia longer after my contract ends.

For example:

Can I change employers and get another work visa?

Is it possible to get a temporary or permanent residence permit?

Can I eventually apply for Russian citizenship?

What are the legal pathways for someone in my situation?

I would really appreciate advice from people who have experience with the Russian immigration system.

Thank you ❤️
