Next - from the first person.

It’s hard for me to name any freedoms that I have in America and which I did not have in Russia.

It may be argued that in the US it is easier to participate in anti-government protests, but I personally witnessed the arrest of 400 protesters on the steps of the Capitol building in Washington. In addition, videos of the takeover of Wall Street protests or the unrest in Ferguson (Missouri) are no different from situations in Russian protests.

Personally, I’m not interested in participating in any protests in Russia or the United States, so I don’t care how easy or difficult it is. I am sure that most people have the same opinion.

One major advantage that I would give to the United States is that here I never felt the need to bribe an official to get the necessary documents. This is not really a question of freedom, but a matter of convenience, justice and dignity. Unfortunately, corruption is still widespread in Russia, and it is difficult to achieve certain results without a bribe, any form of favor, or a special personal connection.

The point is not only that the frustrating need to pay extra money for services, which should be either free or provided at a low standard rate. The real problem is that corruption makes you feel small and helpless, and this affects how you perceive yourself.

On the other hand, America is a very bureaucratic, litigious, and somewhat puritanical society, and this limits the many freedoms that are available to Russians. Americans constantly live under the burden of what others think about them, who can complain about them if they do something wrong, go where they cannot go; they know that someone can sue them for their business activities or private actions. The Russians do not bear such responsibility, and as a result they enjoy greater freedom in the choice of behavior.
