We give our money ourselves - sometimes to cover the canopy at the entrance, then to repair the entrance and screw in the light bulbs. The janitor is of no use… So, what to pay for!? F*ck them with their tariffs!"; "I thought they lowered them again, like in a real people's republic. But they are like real capitalists. Why to raise it? Let the Russians get a raise, and we all should get benefits for free. We are saving them from NATO and Gayrope, the last frontier, so to speak. So let them pay us for this, otherwise we will start to be friends with America"; "They still have to pay us extra for the fact that we live here!!!!".
