Quoted By:
it's named Kirov now after some Communist idiot but should be Vyatka
so, in 1174 they sailed 1500 km from Novgorod through rivers and founded city in the middle of nowhere, LITERALLY, just for lulz
now skip 800 years, nothing important happened here except that Moscow conquered it as everything else
in Communist period, they were sending criminals here so population boomed from 50,000 to 500,000
now we are sitting here poor, still hate Moscow, pay them taxes, protest against raising pension age because male life expectancy here is leveled with Sub-Saharan Africa
is Russia the worst country on Earth?
