Pretty regular thing here. :) Every time when suddenly we have below -30°C in winter, something happens everywhere. Pipes cracks, electric grid overloads and so on, Have nothing to do with fuel, really, but everything to do with corruption of local bureaucrats stealing money from infrastructure projects.This winter I had to start generator only twice, which is pretty low figure, really. Of course, those bureaucrats, who was in charge kind of punished or dismissed or moved to another position, but everything goes the same year by year. :)
It's funny, but "heating failures" in towns are not hardest problems or whatever. They fixed pretty fast, and relatively rare - once or twice a year only at severe temperatures. The main winter problem is when suddenly snow falls on the roads. In winter, yes. And always it is suddenly and none of bureaucrats ever prepared for snowfall and all that stuff. THAT is Russian winter disaster not that "heating failures". :) But seems nobody in the West want to know about that fact.
As usual, western MSM know absolutely nothing about Russia and our local problems. :)
As for "frozen West" - it is kind of funny. That Russian "heating failures" is how most of Nothern Europe lives every single winter for centuries. In Russia, +20-23°С in every single indoor square meter is a must. If temperature drops to +18°C or below in any indoor facility of apartment it is accounted as "heating failure", officially, and bureaucrats are punished if they allowed things reach that point. At the same time, in Europe it is normal to keep warm only living rooms. Idiocy, inability, greed, stupid engineering tradition or whatever. Long before any current European problems with fuel. So, Russian "heating failure" is just a standard situation accounted as normal for any European household. :)
PS: And I think it will be very entertaining to see what happens if -30°C temperature will suddenly fall on London or NY. :) One of the funniest Hollywood comedy I saw was "The Day After Tomorrow". :)
Canadian prairies here, dude. Ever since I first discovered that old Russian playgrounds also had half-buried tractor tires to play on, I knew that you dudes were identical to us and our general way of life in pretty much every way.
This is even more evidence to that fact.
Yes, that used tires playground art is pretty common here. :)
In last decade there is kind of next step of using old tires - they crunched into tiny bits and playground floor made from that rubber powder mixed with some binder. But whole tractor/track tires things are still part of design. :)
I think life of ordinary people in same climate could not differ a lot, since basic needs are the same. Climate dictate way of life much more than politics or whatever shit.
From the other side, if MSM will honestly describe life in other countries everybody will quickly find that there is no any significant difference between people at all. So, it will be very hard to push all that political shit and sow hatred which fuel state power and elites profits.
At the same time, Internet allowed p2p communication and today there is no any problem to find out how things going on the other side of planet and that they are not very different from ones daily life. That is why MSM propaganda become completely ridiculous to sharpen any real differences and create non-existing ones.
That rubber matting is new here, too. With mulch sometimes as well. But they've gotten rid of the buried tires entirely– too many see it as a urinal.
I'm happy to see how much we agree on all the rest. We're all the same. 🖖
Here nearby bushes used for this in case of emergency. Widely spreaded rumor is that you could be arrested as paedofile with all consequences if you pull your dick out on child playground. :) Never heard about real cases, really, but looks like shitting and peeing on playgrounds by drunks, children or stupid parents, which existed in late USSR / early RF is completely defeated now.
And at least peeing in bushes is even somewhat useful for bushes as fertiliser, unlike for playground structures. :)
this is nothing compared to what happened in texas i think 2 winters ago. customers got their bank accounts emptied by the energy company who also failed to supply adequate power to millions of ppl. caused by corruption. (during peace time, zero sanctions btw) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Texas_power_crisis 1ks russians loosing heating temporarily (during war against nato plus sanctions) is international news? seems like they are reaching.
Honestly, I don't think that severe cold is something usual for Texas, so it is pretty obvious that such disaster will create a lot of shit for unprepared population and infrastructure, including attempts to make money from people's problems. So Texas example is not a good analogy.
Things that happen regulary, should not produce any problems, in perfect world. But in this clown world it is impossible, regardless of country or political system. :)
If you want accurate analogy to severe winter cold incidents in Central Russia, try Florida with seasonal hurricanes. And something tells me that there is no much difference in the roots of that eternal seasonal fuckups.
It's news because Russia made a show of how Europe would freeze last winter including shitty propaganda videos, Russian troll bots spamming the internet with memes of winter is coming and shit like that.
Now, Europe is war and cozy without Russian gas and Russkies are freezing their balls off.
Poetic justice.
So instead of spending money to make the life of the citizens better, Russia wastes uncounted billions on a senseless war in Ukraine.
Big brain move.
There are absolutely no any need in spending more money on infrastructure. There are more than enough money and resources to make everything perfect. Problem is purely in the corruption and incompetence of bureaucrats.
As for Ukraine, you could easily find out the state of ex-USSR infrastructure in Ukraine, Nothing was build, repaired or replaced at all since USSR fall, even in large towns like Kiev or Kharkov. It really makes people of new Russian regions wonder "fuck, we didn't know that it could be that way!" and "why didn't we join Russia much earlier?"
Thousands of russians in the cold? That's better than most years when it's tens of thousands
Well. Now it's in areas that are supposed to be functional.
LOL.
So, still selling their gas through third parties to fund their war?
Any Russkie shills left here?

Here's a 40 minute from your russkie everyman, Dan Sheekoz. If he doesn't mention this in this recent update, then I'd say it's better evidence than the link-less cropped screenshot of MSM propaganda that you've posted here.
And to think, you guys carry this unearned arrogance about literally everything else. It's fuckin wild!
Russkie shill doesn't admit Russkie failings.
Such a surprise.
I don't know of them, nor do I believe your convenient MSM flavor you've barely alluded to here. Simply sharing a cropped screenshot of a headline that makes your dick twitch is not an intellectually powerful move, dude.
If you can put yourself into a 3rd party perspective, what do you really think is "such a surprise" in this little discussion between us here? 🤭😴
