Since when Latvia has become the part of Russia?
OMG such a poor country
Yes we Latvians are poor but proud and democratic ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
lolololololol @ ur democrazy
Yes, we Latvians are poor, but very proud and extremely democratic ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! And we hate all those eastern untermenschen, including you Miss India ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Latvians are not as poor as Russians. Be proud of your country
I think the Latvian people won’t be happy about that you put Riga under Russia as the headline of the article states so.
same difference
Who cares? It is their problem, isn’t it?
forgot to add berlin pictures, it also was a part of russia once
Russia is USSR. Unfortunately.
Riga (and Latvia for that matter) ar NOT part of Russia! So the heading of the post is mileading at the least (actually it’s WRONG).
same difference
Yeah but it is former USSR. Who cares though, Riga got its picture featured in the article! I enjoyed it too.
Riga, Latvia is not in Russia.
Where is the vulcan on the picture 27?
BaBo
Riga and Crimea aren’t Russia
Beautiful, it shows that Russia is not always bad, dirty,… That there is natural beauty, undiscovered places,…
«Always bad and dirty Russia» exists only in Western media.
Surprised?
Not surprised, but it is not only the media. Some time ago I have been to a debate in Belgium and it was about Russia. The so called specialists (professors, analysts,…) on Russia they all had a very negative and even wrong image of Russia. You could say a very narrow (bad and dirty). It is like they have idea what is happening in Russia, I mean on the streets, the common people.
I think that Russia should start a PR-campaign to show that Russia is not all bad and dirty. There problems in Russia, but give me one example where there aren’t any problems?
Sorry
“It is like they have idea what is happening in Russia,” should be “…they haven’t an idea..”
I think that Russia should start a PR-campaign to show that Russia is not all bad and dirty.
A PR-campaign? Why not?
But, IMO, paying MUCH more careful attention to self-image and self-respect is a key. — Once you respect yourself, others will follow. It’s an axiom.

Spot on! I couldn’t have say better.

Damn!
Sorry for double-comment.
You are absolutely correct about the self-imagine and respect. But this is also The (mark my capital T) problem also. And this could take some time to change.
You are correct the political elite in Russia doesn’t see the need for positive image of Russia, and you are also correct on what you said about the rural Russians. Unfortunately the best ambassadors (rural Russians) are the ones who can’t come out of the cold, I mean they can’t go abroad, or don’t have the power to show the good side of Russia.
Perhaps the first step for Russia will be a PR-campaign inside Russia for Russians, and more specific the elite.
Riga Latvia has nothing to do with Russia.
I don’t get it why it is shown here, Latvia is totally different country.
Correct. It is TOTALLY different. And Russia has nothing to do with such permanently-whining nazi-praising «small democracies». Exactly. Thanks for your remark.
You make me laugh. Have you even been here? Come visit us and see for yourself how nazi-praising we are
D
So basically you are making your statements without even visiting Latvia and seeing for yourself.
Short-sighted at least
I welcome you here, come and see for yourself!
So basically you just make loud statements. Without checking facts and personally visiting your so hated country.
It is easy, anyone can do it. But your words don’t have any weight. You are just a troll
And who are you after a such statement? latophobe? You’re pathetic…
Latvia is photoshop
this site is about the former USSR, I suppose. so there’s no wonder we got Crimea and Latvia here.
It’s so beautiful.
You need to look at the landscapes of Russia to understand the beautiful poetry of Pushkin and the poets, I think.
When one day the nazi and skinheads in Russia will have disappeared (maybe in 5000 years or so), I will go to beautiful Russia for a living.
Please don’t.
And get rid of your domestic nazis first before pointing your dirty finger at Russia.
the 4th picture is very beautiful. i would have that as a poster on my wall…
All of that empty land for miles and only so much of city space cramed full of high rise apartments!Interesting country to visit but too crouded.However the most beautiful women on the planet live there.
Too crowded? Only Moscow perhaps. Even Saint-Petersburg has much more «air», not to mention other cities and towns.
Sure you could live in a dacha with a out house in back and dirt roads throught the town.That is usually sometimes on the weekend to get away from the city.
Я видел Санкт-Петербург и Москву из воздушного окна самолета, когда я полетел в Россию. Из Москвы я лечу на Аэрофлоте в Екатеринбург.
Поѕдрави иѕ Србије братској прабославној Русији највећој и најлепшој ѕемљи на свету. Нека Бог чува Русију и Србију.
Живела Велика Русија
Мне нравится Россия. Люди были хороши мне. Я посещу снова Србија.
Why do you argue about these photos taken from a commercial airliner??? Use Google Earth, which can pick out your village, your street, your house roof and chicken coop. Geez! Get with it. (understand that I’ve seen Rossiya from close range, warts, beauties, and all- several times. Gerry
I cant believe you people.
Be glad you speak the same language and know each other, dammit. Not even americans fight that much.
Also, could someone please explain SOMETHING, ANYTHING about vladivodstok to me? Its a big mystery. Im from far far away, up to San Diego.
Breaching the EU/NATO airspace again, filthy russkies?
Russia does not have states like the USA.Life is different in small towns beond most city limits.Moscow has many cities around it with all modern conviences since it is the capital.I saw new expensive homes in a suburb before my plane landed at Moscow airport.
Thank you for putting such lovely web site up for everyone to see. Russia has changed to the better and critizising the past is not acceptable. The world is not perfect and never will be, if the attitude is not changed. I have met a few Russian people and admire their outlook on life and being proud of their art.
Lets hope that friendship between Nations will prevail.
Gisela Cooper.
i think these pictures were taken from a plane
Russia may be beautiful but the culture… NOT
Как много мнений. Мдаа.. Вы много чего не понимаете господа ))) И никогда не поймете.
