- As a neighbor of Russia, and one who actually likes many things about Russian people and culture, it is sometimes so sad that as a nation they are such a miserable, brutal gang of imperialist fuckups. SO MUCH WASTE AND WASTED POTENTIAL.

A world class metropolis with some stunning cultural heritage (okay, most of it looted, but still) at one end; the vibrant cities of Helsinki and Tallinn flanking it; all within 2 hours of travel or less.Feb 6, 2026 06:44
- And so much educated people and talent in many fields, technology in particular. A hub between Europe and the rest of the largest country on Earth. Railway all the way to Shanghai and Vladivostok. What a locomotive of prosperity the Gulf of Finland could be! Alas. Russia is being Russia.
