Magnitogorsk: Photos of a Steel City in Decline

If you seach for photos of poverty and despair perhaps you should take a stroll thru the ghettos of Washington D.C. only a short distance from the white house with your camera. Chances are you wont have a camera, or any other valuables when you leave

From Moscow to London to Washington to Beijing and more, maybe workers around the world have far more in common with each other than with their incompetent, money grubbing, power hungry leaders in their corporate-sponsored governments. Workers arounfd the world need to try to build links with each other, instead of being fooled into conflicts by our so-called "leaders." Please don't censor this Newsweek.

What were all these photos made for? To make an impression of Magnitogorsk as a miserable city? It's nonsense. Magnitogorsk is a very beautiful place, as well as the area it's situated in (I mean Ural mountains). You just prefer to show the worst. Why to misinform your readers who trust you? Just to make Russia look disastrous? Don't worry, guys, we feel quite ok here in Russia :) Maybe you should try to be more objective.
