Yes, 1959-1960, government very anti-American, people very friendly. In general run down and gray. Paid several dollars for an orange. Food less than mediocre. Intourist very controlling. Hotels in Moscow and Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, very shabby, all appliances, tubs, toilets,etc. plundered from Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Chechkoslovakia. In general very shabby. Several Russians recognizing me as an American thanked me for the food we sent during WWII. Shaking my hand saying "thank you, thank you Tovarish." good people.

Its like being in Mississippi or any rural community in America .
The police check you out if you stay for more then a few days . Everyone stares and a few bold folks ask what you are doing and spread the word .
I once stayed in a small town for two weeks and while there told them the reason for my visit was Jesus had spoke to me and told me to come to this location .
You can imagine what that did for my freedom .
I was questioned by the police and after my name was run they came back and asked me how much longer I planned to stay and I got the feeling that the sooner I left the better .

They had no Federal Reserve to secretly con people to borrow from a private group of banks. So you think the Fed is a government bank. Brainwashing works wonders.

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.
Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the public with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).
Actual economics is the persons paying the monthly business loan payments of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.
Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.
Anti-democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents and false government.
