Russia. Russian stock market

Hi! I work in a bank as a stock market analyst. A week ago, I returned from a vacation from Europe, where I met a French man at a hotel who called himself a private investor. The dialogue was long and quite interesting until we started talking about the Russian market. To be honest, I was shocked by what the Europeans and most likely the Americans have about the stock market in our country. For some reason, it seemed to me that all this investor knew about us was that there is Gazprom, which is building a pipe across the entire Baltic Sea. But nothing about the world's largest aluminum and palladium mining company. Then I went to English-language websites with financial news and did not see anything truthful about the current situation in Russia, which surprised me so much. Tell me, would it be interesting for you to receive real information from a person who is constantly aware of all events and trades Russian stocks by himself? Even if there are suggestions on how to monetize such valuable information about Russia, write your suggestions. Don't be shy. If something is not clear from the text, then make allowances, English is my second language.

Just learning about Russian history now. As a Russian, how do you, or other Russians, view historical events like Holodomor? Seems pretty fucking awful, no?

Just had my trade dispute rejected by Schwab for a loss of 35k. This single issue alone should be a gigantic red flag to anyone who trades on their platform. If they have a system error, and you do not video record your trading (they actually said this), they will not honour their fuck up. Switching everything away from them. Fuck this company.

Dunno about other Russians but I view it as a terrible part of our history during which a foreign, non russian group which hated the Slavic, Christian people (Russians, Ukrainians etc) which resulted in events like holodomor, repressions, gulags, destruction of churches, sending wave after wave of people to slaughter in ww2 etc. Obviously proud of our accomplishments during the period to an extent (eg war effort, space race, science, culture sport etc) but believe that was achieved in spite of not thanks to the regime that ruled Russia. 

Wouldn't say things are that much better. Guess the current regime is just robbing and milking us for its own wealth creation as opposed to trying to actively genocide us.
