    My dad bought me HL2 back in Nov 2004. At the time my PC spec was: P4, 512 RAM, GF FX5900XT, HDD 80Gb, Dial up 56k, LCD BenQ 1280x1024, Win XP. The game was in English and I didn't…

    I should have perhaps mentioned in the original post: 1$ = 152,3₽ (buying 1 US dollar) 1$ = 85,7₽ (selling 1 US dollar). Just because you pay 152₽ to buy 1$ doesn't mean you can se…

    Well, tomorrow we'll witness the economical suicide. Sberbank - 1$ = 110,49₽ Tinkoff - 1$ = 153,75₽ And the markets are not even opened. For the reference, before Putin started ful…

    I think it boils down to this: 1) Some parts of the Ukraine (the Crimea and Southern regions of the Ukraine) have a significant pro Russian population, e.g. they wouldn't protest a…

    Maybe because the U.S. military isn't bombing the Ukrainian cities right now? And it wasn't the U.S.A. who sent troops to the Crimea and annexed in 2014?
