American traveled to Russia: US media toughly deceived me
The West is dominated by the most bizarre stereotypes about Russia. Therefore, it is not surprising that, having visited our country, foreigners return home with a completely different view not only of Russia, but also of the veracity of their own press.
James Bradley, an American writer and journalist, spent three weeks in Russia. Returning to his homeland, Bradley published in The Duran a very emotional and harsh article about how things really are in Russia. The American understood that the US press and authorities are simply deceiving ordinary citizens by replicating the absolutely ridiculous images of Russia and Russian people.
It is known that the Western press portrays Russia as a very dangerous country, something like Haiti or Colombia. In fact, Bradley writes,
Bradley saw the advantages of our country right away, only by going down the ramp. He, for example, was pleasantly struck by the polite attitude towards passengers from the side of the airport employees.
They say that the trouble of Russia is the roads. But the American was surprised by the absence of pits in Moscow streets. Of course, many Russians will immediately begin to object that Moscow is not all of Russia, but Bradley compared Moscow roads not with Indian reservations, but with the roads of New York. Bradley complains that over the past two years he spent at least $ 1200 on repairing tires and wheels of his car precisely because of the New York pits. Moscow roads, as the American writes, are ideal.
No less than good roads, James Bradley was struck by the standard of living of Muscovites. In the American media, Russia is represented by a very poor country, the majority of whose population is living in poverty. But on the Moscow streets, James met good cars, cafes or hairdressers were crowded - a table had to be booked in an hour, and a visit to the master should be pre-negotiated. Again, Moscow is far from the whole of Russia, but it looks quite worthy even in comparison with New York. Russia's ill-wishers will say that things are much worse in the provinces, but many provincial American towns or non-prestigious neighborhoods of megalopolises do not make a favorable impression either.
James Bradley drew a parallel between the old Soviet propaganda writing about the USA and the modern American press writing about Russia. There really is a lot in common between them.
- concludes James Bradley.
Of course, whoever wants to see what he sees. But not only James Bradley, but dozens and hundreds of other foreigners from all over the world, visiting our country, completely change their minds about her and leave, if not enthusiastic, then quite friendly reviews.
Says another American, Benjamin, who lived in the northern capital for several years.

Moscow is a safe, well-managed and well-organized city that does not lose out at all to the great cities of the West

We Americans should reconsider our attitude to the ongoing stream of negativity and lies on the part of our authorities towards Russia

Most likely, I will go to America, but I do not think that I can live there for a long time. Maybe then I'll be back here. In Petersburg I enjoy life
