NO propaganda, i've been INSIDE MANY Russian hospitals, seen them with my own disbelieving eyes
you know the kind, where your family has to bring you food to eat, because the hospital doesn't supply it
AND you have to supply your own needles, because the hospital staff will re-use needles with different people if you don't

i've also seen Russian hospital cancer wards, where they just leave people to die in soiled sheets
everyone my age, in my wife's family, is already dead thanks to Russian "so-called" medical care
while middle-aged men in my wife's family with medical issues, are sleeping in the mud on the front line
all for Putin's vanity

you're CRAZY if you think Russian medical care is better than Western
and you're trying and failing at being a Russian propagandist, not to CONVINCE US of how good Russia is, but just to try and convince yourself of this
when you damned well know it's FICTION.
also, in western Russia, civilian hospitals are overflowing with military casualties and HAVE PRIORITY
try getting into an ER there

obviously, you drank the kool-Aid
but there's a part of the story, that you're NOT willing to share with us
which is the REAL TRUTH!
of WHY you're seeking a "cheaper life" in Russia compared to Holland
Russia, being a SHIT HOLE, looked attractive to you, BECAUSE it's CHEAPER, well yeah...there's an OBVIOUS reason for that!
you can polish a Russian Turd all you want, but it's still gonna be shit!

I showed pictures of my residences in Crimea here on RWD
why not show us your "DOMA" in the worker's paradise
show us what kind of dacha shack you bought
I know with 100% certainty that you won't EVER show us your novo dom
and I know ALL the reasons WHY you won't show us

since you don't mention having a job or source of income in Russia
I'm gonna speculate that you're living off your Dutch retirement pension
The Dutch basic pension benefit for a single person equalled EUR 1,334.94 per month
and it just isn't enough to live in Rotterdam
and barely enough for Russia
right?
and also, the recent appreciation of the ruble against the Euro
means your pension just depreciated by 20% in Russia

Shadow, you can't fool me AT ALL!
you can only fool yourself
congratulations

I do not kow when or where you were but I will just take your word.
Now it is time for you to take my word.My son was hospitalized for 10 days, during which he got 3 fresh cooked meals per day.There were strict rues on visiting to avoid family overcrowding.
As said I will take your word for it, but my current and recent experience is far from what you think you can sell.
No it is not a dog. Its really how I look.  ;)

I have receipts, do you?

you're the one "trying to sell" Putin's Russia and not me
here's a picture of a Russian hospital and the neighnorhood
and this was before the war shrank the national healthcare budget

so, if your wife is a teacher, how much is she paid for this work?
500/600 euros per month?

still not going to show us your "classne Doma"
why not show us how wonderful it is?
as I said, 100% you're NOT going to show us ANYTHING other than propaganda
ne pravda

OTOH, i'm not afraid, like you are
here's the living room, of my former home in Sevastopol
I also owned a compound with a farm house with some land and out buildings

also owned a place in Moscva
I bailed out of Russia COMPLETELY, took the money and RAN as fast as I could just like about 700,00 Russians did
were we ALL WRONG?

Life is good, cheap and Russian medicine has cured the allergy of my oldest son Chidlren have manage their first year with highest marks, even in Russian language and history.

REALITY CHECK

fine...don't take my word
how about this instead

source:http://borgenproject.org/healthcare-in-the-russian-federation/

Poor healthcare in the Russian Federation stems from a lack of governmental funding, hence more than 17,500 Russian villages and towns have no medical infrastructure and salaries for doctors and nurses are often as low as $250 a month.

in 2019, a large number of imported medicines disappeared from Russian pharmacies and the sanctions against Russia further escalated the drug shortage problem. The Russian government failed to supply basic drugs like glucose, Prednisone and Lamivudine to its hospitals. There is also a painkiller deficit for terminally ill patients which is linked to the suicides of 40 terminally ill cancer patients in Russia in 2014. The problem with drug shortages and low wages has escalated in the previous years because Russia has implemented policies that not only cut spending on imported Western products but also only promote domestic businesses.

The Russian government plans to cut its healthcare budget by 33% in the near future, bringing it down to $5.8 billion a year. Russia’s current health expenditure from GDP is only 5.3%, which is less than Guatemala and Madagascar’s annual GDP healthcare spending. The current global average health expenditure is at 10%. According to a 2014 Bloomberg report, healthcare in the Russian Federation placed last out of 55 developed nations.

Only 5% of people hold private medical insurance or use private healthcare in the Russian Federation because many are unable to afford it. The cost of private health insurance in Russia can vary from 10,000 to 45,000 rubles per year, and on average, a living wage family has an income of 23,700 rubles per month. There were no governmental attempts to make insurance more affordable and the Russian Federation will cut its health expenditure next year by 33%. In addition, many Russian citizens have to seek appropriate healthcare in neighboring countries.
There are only 8.4 psychiatrists, 2.4 social workers and 4.6 psychologists per 100,000 people. Despite the Russian law guaranteeing psychiatric care to its citizens as a civil right, Russia underfunds medical programs due to its corruption. The Corruption Perceptions Index ranks Russia 137th out of 180 countries worldwide, and the Global Corruption Barometer also estimates that 27% of public service users paid a bribe in 2016. In 2018, the Russian government added new amendments to its Administrative Code, which allows courts to freeze one’s assets if they are under investigation for bribery. It also exempts businesses from liability if they are willing to cooperate with the authorities to uncover other criminal schemes. Both actions are promising in terms of battling corruption. Unlike the seeming battle with corruption, Russian psychiatric hospitals have been struggling immensely from governmental underfunding. Psychologists and social workers are unavailable in 13 territories within Russia, and findings determined that one-third of Russian in-patient psychiatric hospitals have unsanitary conditions. It has been numerously reported that Russian psychiatric hospitals have 15 people in one room, which has bars on all windows and no partitions or toilet access.

Google AI, has this to say

Russian hospitals are expected to supply food to patients as part of their healthcare provision. However, the reality of the situation seems more complex. Several sources indicate that, particularly in state-run facilities and outside of major cities, patients' families may need to provide food and other necessities.
This is likely due to the underfunding and challenges within the Russian healthcare system, which can lead to inadequate infrastructure and resources in hospitals.
Furthermore, the quality and availability of hospital food may not meet expectations, with some descriptions characterizing it as basic and potentially unappealing. This could explain why patients or their families might choose to supplement with outside food.
In summary: While technically included in healthcare services, the practical implementation of food provision in Russian hospitals can vary. It's advisable to be prepared for the possibility of needing to arrange for some food provisions, particularly if staying in a state hospital or outside of large urban centers.

the UK advises Brits in Russia that,
"In remote areas, hospitals may not use disposable intravenous (IV) supplies, syringes and needles as standard practice. You may want to have your own supply."

alle ist klar, herr kommisar?
and what's more, I'm sure you are AWARE of everything I wrote here, but these truths don't fit your narrative
because then you'd have to admit something you CAN'T EVER admit about Russki Mir and the choice your wife made you make

The recent fare in a stay at a NHS hospital in the UK is usually a sandwich for your dinner, some tea or juice and the odd snack lol. So on the menu side of things I am doubtful of the authenticity of Shadow's statement. I think he may be winding us up lol or sees everything with rosy tinted specs on.

Shadow, if you really are over there living the life you say you are then lining your sons up with the better girls should be your first priority. Am I right in thinking they are around the early to mid teens sort of age?

receipts = photographic evidence of the topic of "Quality of Life in Russia", which I supplied, and you didn't
I guess if you were living in Germany in 1938, you'd give us a photo of the "Franken Stadium" in  Nuremberg

your picture is a deflection, I said YOU WOULD NOT show us yur DOMA, and of course I was right, and WE BOTH know WHY
and as I said, "you're only fooling yourself" and not someone who has actually lived in Russia longer than you have, and knows the meaning of reality

Not fooling you Trench. Food is better as in Dutch hospitals.When we picked him up we were eraly, but the canteen chef suggested us to let him eat lunch.And perpared some fur us to eat a well, as they have eniugh.Lunch was a soup with brown bread, the cutlets wit rice, completed with tea.
As for their romantic life, no worries. Their foreign aura creates more than enough interest.On top of that our youngest son is already taller than me, he is now 1.90m at 14 years and has interest to develop his muscles.

You will have to be patient my dear krimster.As said please tell me how to show receipts of a free service. My home will be shown once our renovation is finished, expected before winter strikes.
Do we have cows, goats and geese wandering around in our village ? Sure.We also have glassfiber internet and underground gas pipes.

stop deflecting and gaslighting, that's ALL you're doing in this thread
and THAT is the truth you're REALLY giving to us by trying to deceive us with your gaslighting

you have already learned what EVERY Russian has learned
you dare not criticize Putin's Russia
