Um... Can you handle a thread about politics?
New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?
I saw my neighbor off on his journey, and he's a great cook, so there were a lot of seafood dishes.
...
I ate so much, more than I ever have before, and I even drank some cognac. Now I'm worried I won't make it to tomorrow...

I doubt that even in Russia or Ukraine there are still populated areas with such a high concentration of lowlifes, and you're talking about the capital of the region.
In Kyiv (at least before the Maidan, I don't know how it is now), in my northern village, in Crimean cities - everywhere it was better, and I lived there, there, and there for longer.
