read a report, years ago, that said 90% of all paved roads in Russia were within 100 miles of Moscow.==
Funny:). You are fed by the propaganda:).
Not really. I was in Moscow in 2004, and the city itself is amazing and beautiful, but when we drove out for some bbq in the woods... Man, its a different world. Just a few minutes from moscow you start seeing old ladies selling flowers by the dirt roads and shacks along them.
