Those downsides apparently don't include "Someone tries to push you in front of a subway train while you're waiting for it in a graffiti-filled station that smells like piss and shit" while in one of their major cities.
But again, why can't in these regards we do these things at least as well as Russia does them, without their downsides? Western Liberal Democracy™, we are told, is supposed to enable this. But it clearly doesn't.
I don't pretend to know much about Moscow's metro but I've ridden the trains in some American cities and compared to that it seems like night and day. (and that's ignoring their glorious architecture)
Pretty sure Russia has a lot of downsides as well. ;)

Pretty sure the subways in Moscow or other metropolitan areas are also shit shows. ;)
Why are you talking like that?

I was once subscribed to the subreddit 'Subwaycreatures'. Moscow wasn't immune to the plague.
