how is russia part of europe?

its neither politacaly nor geographicaly the case

Kreuz:

Thanks for the correction. Baku is far from what we in America think as "Europe" but is technically part of Europe, also, everything west of the Urals.

Shevar:

You can have horizontal channels of communications (as in logistics) but the kind of information in horizontal channels is different than the kind of information in vertical channels. So a particular kind of information travels in one particular kind of channel. Also, the horizontal information has to "turn the corner" somewhere to be useful to the command node.

speciale and skrum

the border of europe is the urals mountains, and in the south its georgia

so baku is a part of the geographical europe, this is by definition. I cannot say that alaska is not a part of america, because europeans don't think of it as a part of america

and the list is anyways in production

russia, norway, england, denmark (and maybe netherlands) are all above rumania in oilproduction



but on the other hand, having high oilprizes do to taxes is a good thing in my oppinnion

ok, too mean

russians divide the russian federation in two main part, its russia and the republics. the republics is basicly anything east of the urals.

historically there are 3 main language groups in europe, its germanic, slavic and latin language group. 500 years ago the only place anyone spoke any of these languages was in europe (for the most parts).

russia is historcally a european nation, they are economically european nations (most of their trade is with europe) and they are culturally european.

recooked:

What are the time prices now, compared to under the Communist system? I mean the time spent standing in lines.

@skrum
Less time wasted in lines, more choice in products now, which is quite good. Still, the jump in prices means that you have to buy shit that's affordable, so the meals end up being in no way healthier or tastier than soviet stuff.

When you buy something called "oily mix of fats" (sorry, it's a direct translation, not sure how it sounds in English) in stead of butter, you know that something's wrong.
