It's both, the inner ring is very well preserved, I especially love the area around Patriarchs Ponds, I will always love Gorky Park too. Moscow City is really on its own there.
It's bizarre to me that Moscow's historical architecture is so well preserved, despite communism, while we destroyed so much of ours in "urban renewal" projects in the post war period.

Those amazing looking subways were all built during Soviet Communism
Everything the Russians have built since the fall of USSR is of substandard materials and will likely collapse in the next couple decades
My father worked as an engineer in Russia for a few years. I know what I am talking about.
Sorry Tucker - I just refuse to believe Russia is better than the US. This whole thing stinks of propaganda.

His kinda of thinking is what we are up against.
Tucker said nothing of the sort and yet, that’s the way he processed the information. That’s his cognitive takeaway.
Sigh.

Yeah it’s pretty clean. I guess when the police can make you disappear there’s good incentive to not litter

Correct.
People have to stop saying the “government pays” for anything.
They don’t.
Taxpayers foot the damn bill.

back in the 70's and 80's the main stream media adored the USSR/Russia and would $hit all over Nixon and Reagan as leaders of the free world.
but here we are with the Russian Collusion BS and Putin is evil, like Satan and in bed with OMB and we must help Ukraine and Biden's Foreign Policy and etc..
em
if the MSM is against Putin then i say President Putin is probably a great guy and deserves our respect.
the MSM is wicked and can no longer be trusted.
and those bastards in the district of columbia no longer represent the people of this once great nation.

This is Pykhtino station, it opened in 2023. It features a model of a TU-144 hanging above the escalators.
One thing that stands out about Russia today, is the amount of investment in public works. We for our part wasted twenty years, and a fortune, in Iraq and Afghanistan. We could have been building things and investing in America, but we didn't.

Probably. Some other countries seem to care about their cities and want them to look as good as possible.
Our elites don't give a frick about our cities. Elites live in luxurious areas, cut off from the chaos they helped create in the cities.
Look at San Francisco. In some other countries, people would get arrested if they shite on sidewalks. San Francisco doesn't arrest them.. San Francisco sets up a new department to go around picking up the human shite.

Not only Russia. a lot of modern looking cities around the world that look better than ours. even Yerevan in Armenia looks clean and their metro system makes the New York metro look like a 3rd world shite hole.

I haven't been to AD but I've been to Dubai and, as you say, it was spotless.
I found it a very easy place to navigate and do business, very Western friendly in the appropriate hotel districts.

I find that when I travel internationally and look at things and how things are done differently I find myself asking why can’t we have nice things.

Honestly most Americans who have never been out of this country have no idea how magnificent and rich in history most European and Asian countries are.

I believe this is the biggest takeaway that gets lost in the shuffle when we say america first. Why we as a country don’t feel the need to invest in ourselves rather than do the equivalent of buying cheap plastic shite from the dollar store is infuriating.
