    i feel there’s a big difference in how the parts of the countries culturally relate to each other, too.
    Like i’m not aware of any real difficulty getting between european and asian Turkey, whereas with russia it’s 1) a massive distance, 2) there’s a big fuckoff mountain chain in the way, and 3) the fuck are you going to do in siberia?

      It seems to me that if all the people and power weren’t in European Russia, someone would do something more with Vladivostok.
