Katerina ,


Well , I am sure , that in some parts of Russia , things are completely different.And also , are being checked , by other standards.
If this is , because the lack of money , or if there are other issues , that may play a part in this , I really don`t know.

I understand , that you want me , to realize , that in my country , things may be better.
But to tell you the truth , I have never been to Russia.Although , at the moment , I try to learn some Russian.

I already know some words , and I can say some short sentences in Russian.But it is not going to help me.If I was to go there , to live and to work.
Yes , with the technology , of the new age , I will be able , to have some conversation , with Google translate , on my smart phone or tablet.

But then you will need an internet connection.

I just want to say , that I am not complaining , about my personal situation.Everything , that I have said , in my previous posts , to you , were only , to describe the real situation , in my country.
And , what or how much , influence , Brussels has ,in dictating , what we in the EU , should or must do!!

Maybe , you have heard , about the strikes , in Belgium , in last December.This is all about , that Brussels , has urged the Belgian government , to start , to re-structure , their national debt.
As you may know , Brussel wants , that every EU member , should have a national debt , of only 3% , of their gross national product.

Holland , had in the past 2 years , something of around 4,7%.By raising taxes , inventing new taxes and making gasoline and petrol , more expensive , our government , succeeded , to comply , to the rules of Brussel.

Our government , also , did cut on their costs , for social security , in the medical sector.They have also cut , on the costs for development aid , to other countries.
In other words , the government , has shifted , some costs , to us , the civilians , from Holland.

Please understand me correctly , I am not complaining.Luckily , my personal situation , is such , that I can still , lead a good life.
And I am still in a good health , so I don`t need , to have medicines , or to go and see the doctor.

But , yes , all the same , I do have additional health insurances.Sometimes I think , why I have them.Because , I don`t need to declare bills , for them.

But , you never know , what can happen ?? Yes ??

I have seen , and heard about , that life in Russia , is getting more difficult.Partly , because of the sanctions.
I was aware , that in certain areas , like in the medical field , working , was a challenge , everyday.

And I am sure , that there are more branches , where working conditions , can be , or must be improved.
And I sincerely hope ,that the modern age , will make it`s way , to these areas.

The news , that we get , over here , from Russia and it`s people , is somewhat coloured.
I am not sure , if it is because of some restrictions.
Also , the correspondents , for the news papers , and for the tv channels , mostly report , from Moscow.

It is clear , that their vieuw , on some issues , is only , to what they can see , or verify.
With such a great and vast country , that Russia is , you need more people , to monitor , the daily life and struggle , of the ordinary people.

To end my post , I want to say , that I have nothing against , the people from Russia.And I really hope , that prosperity , new technology will be part , of their work and the daily life.
As was here on the news , Russians in Moscow , buying Maserattis , of about 150.000 Euros.
Because , it is better , to use the money , instead of leaving it on the bank , these days.

Well , for some prosperity , is already there.Let us hope , that it also will come , for all Russians.
