2nd Skype exchange

During our last exchange Artem and I were alone...unfortunately Alessandra couldn't talk with us because she was to have an exchange with another peer. However we'll be happy to join the exchange with her next time.
Artem and I discussed about politics in particular. I asked him who he thinks is going to win American elections and why. As a foreigner he can see things differently because he can compare European and American point of view. He know that the two situations are really different. In particular he says that Europe and America are organized differently from a geo-political point of view. European countries apply their systems quite independently and are characterized differently due to their historical traditions. Each European state elects its own government and president. America, on the contrary, is, under this point of view, homogeneous. He thinks is going to win Obama, because Mc Cain is too old and Clinton is sort of compromised by her husband’s previous mandate.
As Artem is Ucranian, I was interested in the political situation of his country as well. However we skipped this issue, and talked about Russian situation. We discussed about the Nashi movement. Nashi are young people who strongly support Putin’s party. the Nashi organization uses rap music and sorts of celebrations to attract new members.
We talked about political situation in Italy as well. I told Artem I really don’t’ know who I’m going to vote. I don’t like neither of the leaders of the two great parties, that is PD and PDL.
We hadn’t time to talk longer. Finally Artem and Alessandra spent some time to talk in Russian, so I cannot report what they said...unfortunately I cannot speak Russian!
