I was taking the piss, not being serious!
Not even life in Russia is equivalent to life in Russia. The place is huge. It’s like talking about “life in America.”
You can’t answer this now, because you’ve already hit your daily
quota, but you’re evading the point - Moscow is much richer than the
rest of Russia. You keep citing the wealth of Moscow as if it were
represenative. It’s as if I took Manhattan’s Soho as representative
of life in the USA.
