    Russia is not a welfare state and from what I read they processed 29 thousand Syrian refugees and settled them where they were needed the most. They also processed 2 million refugees from Ukraine, and they all are working... except maybe for those in the army. Regardless they are not sitting in refugee camps.

    I also read that a larger building was needed in Moscow to handle the five thousand applicants they get for work each day... more likely from the Caucasus or Central Asian States. I guess they're migrant workers, and this would account as to why they could only accept and place Syrians with a higher education.

    In all fairness, Russians are probably not paid in US dollars. Also their Rubbles are better. You can get 60 rubbles for every dollar.

    Dear opponent, I have to disappoint your joy.

    1....Wages in Russia consists of two halves. Official ( 12.5 k ) and "not official" (which do not pay taxes). It is a Russian national feature.
    Therefore, the real income is the same as in the Baltic States as in the Russia. (It was before.)

    2.... Lithuania sold a lot of dairy products to Russia.
    As a result of the sanctions, Russia began to develop its production, so the sale from Lithuania fell by 25%. Now.

    Lithuania many earned on the transit of Russia - the West. Now this transit has moved to St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad. (terminals built there).

    Baltic steadily moving into the hole.So the Lithuania tries to attract attention by a funny action.

    The essence of my response is:
    Lithuania pretends that it not to know that Russia - this is not the USSR with a Soviet ideology.

    GDP per capita is not the same thing as wages.

    also, have a look at what the IMF says. according to them, lithuania is a developed economy, while russia is a developing one. In other words, lithuania is more advanced than russia.

    But Russia has the largest percentage of immigrants after the US, so why are they going there?

    Then why are they leaving? But then again if half of Lithuania had no jobs and left, and only the few with jobs remained, then I guess it would be prosperous relatively speaking... especially if the ones who left sent money back into the country. Hmmm, maybe Russia should start kicking out its immigrants that way it can appear wealthier statistically ... :roll:

    I have a question here. How is the GDP measured, is it in US dollars? But what about the low value of rubles, which in turn would allow people in Russia to live well on a much lower income? Also most Russians have dachas and grow their own vegetable, and that wouldn't be taken into account when looking at a nations GDP.

    Anyway I'm confused here. Russia is maintaining an armed force second only to the US, and is also self sufficient in everything... otherwise it wouldn't be asserting itself, yet at the same time it is being said it is not as fully developed as other countries?

    Doesn't sound right now does it?

    Because migrants are mostly comming from central asian states which are even poorer than russia.
    half of lithuanians are in western europe working, and the other half remains in lithuania with jobs... who cares? point is they are richer than russians.
    if you want to take into account the low value of rubles, you measure by purchasing power parity (ppp). But even if we compare Russian and baltic GDP (ppp) per capita, Russia still ends up lower than the baltics. Estonia and lithuania are above russia in all lists, but latvia is sometimes below, sometimes above, meaning russia and latvia are about as rich.

    Russia has a big military yes, but I don't see why it then has to mean they have a developed economy. there is no such logical connection.

    Actually thanks to the sanctions, their economy has developed enough for them to be self sufficient, but not as quickly as it should have. From what I read they put the blame on the Medvedev government for keeping interest rates high.

    The aftermath of how Russians managed the USSR before,
    Lithuania as a republic under them turned against it's former master,
    the same as the other republics involved.
    With the annexation of Crimea the spirit of being dominant lives on.

    Actually, they are poorer and less developed than lithuania. That is the point. Statistics dont lie.

    The merchandise isn't exist if it not was been paid officially. It is not included in the statistics. So this in a heap.

    But Russia has inherited the legacy of the USSR, and many things are also the will of Moscow to be the heir!
    You can not only pick out the beautiful things from a heritage, but if the entire legacy arrives or dissociates itself 100%!

    I was in Riga last year. To be more precise - in Jurmala. I assure you the wild Baltic tribes did not become are more developed. Just as in the 13th century or BC, - they are still wild tribes. For example as the Masai tribe in Africa. They drink Coca Cola, have plastic utensils, etc., but still - savage tribes.

    They have not developed the brain. Maybe it's a genetic feature. I dont know. But for example - if you depend on your neighbor, you will offend this neighbor? Of course not. Because you have the right development.
    Baltic tribes - regularly insulted his benefactor. It proves national dementia Baltic peoples.

    This is why I don't like Europeans. They want war with Russia and that drags the US into it because we're in NATO. US needs to leave NATO and let Europe handle their own issues.

    A message to the Russian people of this board:

    I don't care what you guys do. Just like I don't care what China does. It doesn't mean I'm a fan of either country, I just couldn't care less. Don't care about Crimea, don't care about Europe. Russians, I have no problems with you.

    I don't often agree with Russians on this forum, but I can atleast give them credit for actually knowing, mostly, what they're talking about, unlike you. Not only are you ignorant of europe and russia.. You don't even know what your own country is doing.

    All I hear from you is whine. Whine about how everything is europe's fault. When I point out that it's actually the US that pushes the most for sanctions, and that many european countries are actually more pro-russia than the US.. your response is denial and more whine.

    When I say that it's actually the US, not europe, which is the primary enemy of Russia (according to russians themselves) you respond with denial and yet more whine.

    there is simpy no reasoning with you. You have an irrational hatred of europeans, for whatever reason, coupled with an immense ignorance of everything that has to do with foreign relations. Write a rational post based on facts for once why don't you? that's a rethorical question: I know you will not. You will write more whine.

    LOL - Judging from Litwin's posts the feeling is mutual. What does he call your country, the Ulus of Jochi? :lol:

    But your country deserves to be insulted. If Russia stopped invading and subjugating its neighbors you wouldn't have this problem.

    Tissue?

    If I hated Europeans so much, I wouldn't spend my time training them.

    I misspoke earlier. I do like European people as a whole. Very welcoming to us on every OCONUS trip. It's the little brother mentality I can't stand. This whole thing isn't about nukes anymore. It's about money and Russia's crashing economy.

    kind of how Russia offends the EU, even though they are very dependent on the EU as a market and for investments? Yes, it's very stupid indeed to offend your benefactors like that. I think you should stop it.

    It was not Russia. It was the Soviet Union with the Soviet ideology.
