Yesterday Russia won football match. We had lot (LOT!) of cheering crowds here in Moscow. Ironically, it was 1st of July -- day, when Yarovaya law is coming into effect (but nobody cares about internet prices) and prices for water+gas are rising by 4-6% (different regions) (nobody cares too).
I usually like, when people around me are happy and optimistic, but yesterday was just not that day.
@bugaevc Yes, I absolutely agree. It's just I've seen it from that angle. (And anyway, here in Russia we don't have a lot of good news recently. So that football win of yesterday was.. at least, something!)
