American independent journalist and blogger Tophurius Crane, who moved to Russia in 2023, was amazed to see the luxurious neat flower beds at VDNH.
"I want to mention the beautiful garden behind me. If it were in the USA, then all the flower beds would have been stolen, at least the flowers themselves for sure. Children would trample everything. Or just homeless people would set up their own camp," he told the Tsargrad portal.
According to him, a huge tent camp is now located near the White House in Washington.
"All this around me is something natural for Russian citizens, this is their everyday life - they are not used to seeing piles of garbage, a lot of homeless people and various items of drug addicts like used syringes. This is something to appreciate, and I know that Russians appreciate this way of life," concluded Crane.
After moving to Crane has already visited Russia in the LPR and DPR, and also converted to Orthodoxy.
