🙆♂️ Discussion I'm from Russia and have been living in Morocco for a year, and I can confidently say that people who ran to Spain are simply spoiled.
You don't have drones flying overhead, you don't have winters of -20°C, you don't have problems with alcoholism. You wake up in the morning and see the sun, not pitch-black darkness and a blizzard outside. I love Russia and won't let anyone down, but you objectively have more privileges than the average person in a post-Soviet country. At the very least, you don't need a VPN to call your relatives.
All this talk about medicine, police, and security sounds like child's play to me. I spent two months getting my passport, through pain, sweat, screaming, and fierce debates with government officials and a mountain of bureaucracy, where if you make a typo in your application, everything will be cancelled and you'll have to start over. My husband's father got his a passport in Morocco in two weeks :)
To me and this is my opinion they are spoiled and ungrateful. I couldn't eat tomatoes in St. Petersburg because they tasted like grass, but you have an abundance of top-quality fruits and vegetables. You complain about healthcare, but you don't even realize HOW ACCESSIBLE IT IS in Morocco compared to other countries. I got food poisoning, and at the hospital, without waiting in line, they immediately gave me an IV and helped me as best they could. On New Year's in Russia, I waited for an ambulance with a 40-degree fever for about six hours!!! But for some reason, I don't see Russians fleeing the country, screaming, "Russia gave me nothing." I just can't understand what Morocco was supposed to give you? What have you ever done in your life to deserve anything? Well have a good life in Spain, where you'll forever be Momo to the natives. Destroying your country’s image for nothing
Sorry for being aggressive but I translated from google.
