There is money and power in Moscow, but Kazan is still more beautiful and friendly. :)

Mafia? Somehow readers think the mafia is everywhere, except in Moscow.

I was in Kazan at early 80-ties. It looked like most of industrial cities of USSR, slightly better. They won some more control over income they generate after perestroika and used it properly. Also, they have some oil and industry (auto and avia to name a few), good educational level, a tradition of multicultural coexistence, while maintaining sufficient independence. Climate is a bit drier than in Moscow area, more sunny days. Also, my observation is that Tatars have a very positive life attitude, but that's may be just my limited generalization. The girl on the photo is very likable, and if I were young, I would be easily attracted to one like this without thinking about her ethnicity, in fact , it had happened, really. BTW - they are great housekeepers (generalization again)

I honestly don't know if this female is young or old, and it's irrelevant. :) I think she's lovely. Yes, locals are very friendly, and actually one young man probably saved me from breaking my leg near the university. I was trying to take a pic of the young Lenin statue, and there was a sheet of ice all around it. I lost my footing and was on the way to disaster, but he caught me, and I immediately said an enthusiastic and grateful "thanks!!" in English. He began to speak to me perfectly in the language. :)) I cannot tell the difference between this woman, and an Uzbek for instance. They look similar to me...

Faces could be tricky however as I saw it, Tatars are recognizing "their's" easily. It's like accents in language.

It's impossible to recognize an "American," at least for me. The country is too multi-cultural.

My boyfriend again got involved in bad things,
Fight, I swallowed some turbidity.
He took me, and I drove it.
Now I want such as Putin.

Such as Putin, full of strength,
Such as Putin, not to drink.
Such as Putin, so as not to offend,
Such as Putin, so as not to run away.

I saw him yesterday in the news,
He said that the world is at a crossroads.
With this, it is easy and at home and away,
Now I want such as Putin.

Such as Putin, full of strength,
Such as Putin, not to drink.
Such as Putin, so as not to offend,
Such as Putin, so as not to run away.
Such as Putin, full of strength,
Such as Putin, not to drink.
Such as Putin, so as not to offend,
Such as Putin, so as not to run away.
Such as Putin, full of strength,
Such as Putin, not to drink.
Such as Putin, so as not to offend,
Such as Putin, so as not to run away.
Such as Putin, full of strength,
Such as Putin, not to drink.
Such as Putin, so as not to offend,
Such as Putin, so as not to run away.

Oh my! Is this a real song? :)) Or, something she improvised?
