I doubt the train services are that reliable in communist third world hellholes at the best of times.
Do you even know what "third world" means?
The Russian people gave us Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, and now Putin, and in each case the people of Russia never stood up and said NO!
Just to remind you, there were big protest a decade ago. Remember Pussy Riot? They tried. But the west ignored all of it, instead just wanting to go on doing business with putin. This isn't exclusively on the Russian people. I hope, but don't really believe, that this whole mess will serve as a lesson on how not to deal with despots like that psychopath. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
