lol, does knowing the culture make the wallpaper any less ugly? There's tribes in Africa that build houses outta shit, I might understand the culture and the reason, but that don't make me want to live in a dung hut.

As for the rest of your statement, yeah, I agree...not all Russians or Eastern Europeans are cheaters. Not all American, Canadians, etc, are honest. That's why I try to deal with people on a case by case basis and not to generalize about them.

oh, umm, but I will stick with the generalization that all Russian wallpaper is ugly.

What I was trying to say is that we had no choice, no options. Making things the way they were was caused by the communism aparat and we were it's victims.

Many people are still with them, cause they don't have the money to change them and what you should know about them is that they're solid, they last for decades without a scratch. That was also part of the aparat - making ugly shits that do the job. That way they were manipulating the block that commi means good, cause it lasts forever and were killing the people's vanity and their desire for new cool stuff. The opposite of captilism, where people are manipulated to buy shit that they don't need.
