interesting selection thanks!

[Ascetic]

They would have had a couple of world wars and a civil revolution like ours in the 20th century, so far they would have chased buffalo on the prairies. No wonder P.A. Stolypin said: "Give the State 20 years of peace, internal and external, and you will not recognize the current Russia."

[and1975]

but they didn’t slurp cabbage soup with bast shoes like we and others, and the econom grew up on other people's problems. and wars themselves are now controlled by all of this from there and wars and the economy is shaky, everything is just like a two-finger slippery nation, as history shows, shit like to throw everyone ...

[dred]

Honestly, he agreed with Comrade Asket. They did not have a civil war.

[Farkash]

Still, they had a civil war. 1861-1865

[snek]

They had a civil, they had a rampant crime, they had a time when corruption went off scale (although it may not be the way we have now). Everything was and they went through everything.

[rumpeljschtizhen]

Ascetic but about Germany what will you tell us why they are ahead of us ???????
they had wars and revolutions no less than ours
(enough to carry nonsense about war and revolution)
A selection of fascinating

[Ascetic]

Because for Germany the war ended on May 8, 1945, and we continue to this day, plus one more revolution of 1991 and the devastation of the 90s

[snek]

Quote: Ascetic

for Germany, the war ended on May 8, 1945 and we continue to this day

In saying this, you insult those who really went through the hell of World War II - our modern being (the war that continues to this day, in your opinion) did not lie closely with what our ancestors had to go through.
In what happened in the 91st we ourselves. Or do you think this is a terrible conspiracy of the CIA or the Jews? If so, then in the GRU and the KGB then sat full de-bills (in the medical sense of the term), if not only prevented, but even could not really understand what was happening. In addition to Germany, there is also an example of Japan, which by the end of the war was completely in ruins (in some places radioactive) and without any real minerals or fertile lands was able to rise to the status of the second world economy (now it’s already the third, but it’s hard to argue with China )

[Ascetic]

What does the CIA and the Jews have to do with it, when 2/3 of the country worked in the military-industrial complex and everything else developed according to the leftover principle? In the 60s, there were no products in stores, nursing mothers practically turned into water. This is what my mother told me when we lived in a military town near Krasnoyarsk, where my father at that time in the taiga in inhuman conditions built mines for missiles because there was a real threat of 200 HIROSIM for the cities of the USSR at that time. The post-war generation really lived and worked under the slogan "if only there was no war" It was already in the 80s, when the threat allegedly passed, they began to think about how good life is in Japan and Germany, so what are we all fighting but there is no sausage in vain saved from fascism. And then the Jews from the CIA slightly pushed and what they wanted and got it.
If people lose their minds, they lose their country

[gor]

he didn’t offend anyone with this. they insult those who ruin this country for the sake of which someone once fought. I meant that they started from equal positions after the war and how the Germans live and how Russia lives

[755962]

As then, we and they are in the world ...

[755962]

Everyone has his own path...

[kosmos84]

got hold of union expense

[rumpeljschtizhen]

Ascetic and before that, the Mongols prevented us from the Tatars ???????
if not 1991, then we have healed ????????

[916-th]

rumpeljschtizhen, and what is your answer?

[Ascetic]

Read my koment about the reasons for the collapse of the Union, I will not repeat. There was no beggar at the councils, and now, according to the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, which investigated the distribution of income among various segments of the population of Russia, one can observe this state of affairs.
13,4% of the population with an income below 3.422 rubles per month live in extreme poverty. 27,8% of the population live in poverty with incomes from 3.422 rubles to 7.400 rubles per month.
38,8% of the population live in poverty with incomes from 7.400 rubles to 17.000 rubles - this is the largest group of the Russian population.
“Rich among the poor” are 10,9% of the population with an income of 17.000 rubles to 25.000 rubles.
At the level of average income, 7,3% of the population live with an income of 25.000 rubles to 50.000 rubles.
The wealthy in the Russian people include citizens with incomes from 50.000 rubles to 75.000 rubles per month - their number is 1,1% of the population of the Russian Federation. The so-called rich make up 0,7% of the population. Their income is estimated at over 75.000 rubles
This is for 2010. 4 out of 5 live in poverty
In the USSR there were no beggars and homeless people and the average standard of living was much higher than in Russia
Incidentally, I live at the level of average prosperity at the present time as well as about advice. But in the USSR, I knew that my income level would not decrease significantly under any circumstances, and the officer could not work to help the children and even help children, and now any force majeure threatens ruin and poverty if you honestly work and you pay as much as you like taxes

We must pay tribute to the beginning of the twentieth century, the USA is a rapidly developing country, such as today's China. No wonder: the most passionate, talented, entrepreneurial people travel from Europe in search of a better life, ... Scientific discoveries, their immediate implementation and development, the tremendous development of industry and construction, plus a strong raw material base, quickly bring the country to the first roles. And soon, the First World War and capitals will increase at times. Like it. The second, with a high degree of probability, has already been provoked by American capital. Again, an incredible enrichment. It remains a little - to rot the USSR and become the World policeman, which happened 40 years later. Only in these years the country-inventor, entrepreneur, industrialist turned into a paper speculator, who dumbed his population and living beyond his means, a gopnik from the highway, killing thousands of people for access to the much-needed resources and hiding behind the ideas of the spread of democracy.

[Shqvarqi]

Thanks for the photo. Interesting.

[Farkash]

In the last photo, after all, not a subway, but an elevator. But the photos are very interesting, thanks to the author of the selection. And the quality is excellent for that time.

[Denis]

With great pleasure I would have looked at a similar selection about Russia of that time. And so, thanks to the author, interesting.

[Farkash]

Unfortunately I didn’t find urban photos right away, but look at least this:

I love these pictures! All the same, America of those years and current America are two different states.

[LiRoy]

Interesting photos. I especially liked the first photographs of the workers' quarters that "nourished" American industrialization. But the Bolsheviks' calculation of a "world revolution" was not a utopian project at that time. It was at that moment that the Western bourgeoisie, realizing that it was necessary to be friends with the workers, began to feed the workers, creating a buffer between them and themselves in the form of the "middle class".

[Lelik]

blah blah blah ... what are you people ??? You look at the photo, it's a TALE !!! A hundred years have passed ... There are already neither these people, nor cars ... Breathtaking ... What perspectives, but what quality ... This is art !!! And you again about politics ... Aftaru respect.

[Professor]

The "thin" building is still there, at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway:

And I also liked the 1898 dry dock of the year, we have had such years through 60.

[taseka]

After the civil war of 1917, the best brains of Russia arrived there and to this day the best brains of the Russian Federation unfortunately arrive there! But before they went there from executions, but now for money! And so they raised, we raise America!

[Head Physician]

Very interesting

[Bouncer]

Nice pictures
