Volgograd? Yes I have actually.
Then you will know the truth, or should do anyway.
Pretty much reduces me to tears when I am there. The earth is salty, so houses are sinking into the ground, with residents still residing in them. It is unbelievable to understand people still live in these places.
The buildings are all crumbling, the roads are full of massive pot holes and the streets are awash with stray dogs and cats. People just abandon them when they can no longer afford to keep them.
My wife thought I was mad, but last time I was there I went out and bought a shed load of dog and cat food and would go and feed them all. Just felt so sorry for them all as they fought over scraps.
The street lighting all but doesn't work at all and there are loads of people just sitting drunk or begging on the streets. 100 times worse that anything here and that is no over estimation. There is all but no greenery, again because of the salty earth.
And yet you compare Coventry to 'Stalingrad?' It is truly laughable and rather embarrassing. Grendel with his sweeping statements again unfortunately.
Large parts of Volgograd are like the third world and I am in a much better position to judge, as my wife is actually from Volgograd and all her family are still there and I have been over a number of times for two weeks at a a time.
My wife calls it a holiday, but I come back believing I need a holiday after.
Speak to my wife and suggest Coventry is like Volgograd and see what response you get.
