What's wrong with those people?

***So, the theater scene is popular, I guess. perhaps nobody's asking for tickets because not too many people can afford them. $5-10 is indeed a lot of money.

Someone making say, $40 per month (about an average salary in Russia these days) should be able to attend perhaps four to eight performances every month.

After all, if they have no bread, they should be eating pastries instead...

Sad, sad world...

On a serious note, I was really pleased to see the sell-out crowds at the Philarmonia, and many other places, and one had to fight through thick, thick crowds at Dom Knigi (the main book store in Petersburg) to even get to the counters. And the cash registers there were ringing non-stop - I know, I did my share.

Unfortunately, only very few movie theaters still remain in the city - most have been converted into casino's, strip clubs, etc.

Something definitely IS wrong with them Russians.
