Re: Moscow Millions
[ QUOTE ]
Cmon, guys, don't be ridiculously stereotype-minded! Russia is a beautifull wide-spread in different ways country with it's cruel and great pieces of history. The majority of people living there are very normal open-minded and have a big heart for everything that worth beeing on this planet. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I guess I was making ridiculous generalised remarks with my specifics examples of horrific racist violence in Russia against people I know. Hell, maybe I just made that [censored] up. If you are denying that Russia has serious problem with racism and institutionalised scapegoating of minorities by the government that you don't know what you are talking about. This is a government which introduced racial quotas for who could work in certain markets. Sound familiar to anyone? |

Re: Moscow Millions
I read an article about 2 years ago about 3-4 British poker players who played an event in Russia and had trouble getting a large (~£50k) out of the country. I searched for it but couldn't find it, the conclusion was that they got [censored] over on either bribes or taxes.
That said, i've been to St Petersburg and it's a lovely city. Moscow is probably nice as well. The people are like the weather though |

Re: Moscow Millions
The fact of the matter is that Russia's government is corrupt, and this COULD lead to problems, but Moscow especially is a lot better than it used to be, and is a lot more an American city.
Overall it's safe, think about the bad stories your hearing as 1 outers on the river. I'm not talking out of my ass here either, I'm Russian(Live in NYC now), and a lot of my friends are in and out of Moscow pretty often. Ilushan, what's the buy in for the event? And if it's around 10k+ do you know if there are any satellites left online? |
