Would You Date Chechen or Dargins Girl?

SamZED Senior Member

Sure. Might be tricky though because often they come from strict Muslim families and marry other Chechens/dargins only. I just feel I'd be incompatible with their families which would be a problem for them.

Does Russia have government social programs like Medicare?

It does have social programs for handicapped people, elderly, large families etc. Example - my grandfather had an issue with his lungs and got hospitalized. Stayed in a hospital for over a week while being treated and didn't have to pay a cent. At the same time, free medical care is not as good as if you paid for it.

All of them. Video games is one of the things Russia's been importing for years and pretty much any game that is released in States or Japan is simultaneously released in Russia. I personally have been playing consoles all my life. As for the most popular ones I'd say all the major hits when they're released like Skyrim, GTA. I think Fifa is big here, but I don't much care for it.

Here are some basic and commonly used ones:
Sooka - b!tch
Moodak - dumb fuk (loose translation)
Pidr - F@g
Idi na khuy - F you or go F yourself (literal translation - go sit on a dick)

In Moscow we barely got any. It just started snowing few days ago. Or more accurately - it's been snowing for weeks now but it's been too warm for it to actually cover anything. But as of this morning the streets are covered in a very thin layer of snow.

English for keyboard, Cyrillic when handwritten. Not sure why.

Childhood nostalgia. Simplier times. Didn't take much to be happy.

Preferably some developed country with a more friendly climate. Also, I wouldn't mind trying my luck in England/Canada/US.

Do you prefer living in Scotlnd or Australia?
Not sure I uderstad the question. Haunted House as in an Amusement Park attraction? Think this is the only kind of haunted houses I know.

Other haunted houses are investigated by Ghosthunters, and other similar tv shows.
