The Russia Trip Tucker Carlson
 

One of the ways you understand a society is through its infrastructure, the places where people gather, the places where they go to travel, you've got a lot of people in one place, it tells you a lot about the people. So with that in mind, we're standing in front of the Kievskaya Metro station, this train station next to us. Now the metro station was built by Joseph Stalin 70 years ago. And the question is, how's it doing now? After 70 years? So we went into it to take a look and what we found shocked us.

But it doesn't change the reality of what we saw or more precisely didn't see. There's no graffiti落書き, there's no filth汚物, there no foul〔匂いが〕嫌な smells, there are no bums〈話〉ホームレス or drug addicts or rapists or people waiting to push you onto the train tracks and kill you. No. It's perfectly clean and orderly. And how do you explain that?
