[edit] Welcome!

Hello, Igorf, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

[edit] Karlovy Vary

I think your edit on Karlovy Vary should be changed.

First: owning 3/4 of city /infrastructure/ would mean electricty lines, hospitals, parks, schools, etc etc. The ratio may be valid for hotels and spas, surely not for infrastructure. The link you added doesn't work for me now.

Second: the animosity is less due to history and more the current sitation. Typical Czech "knows" ordinary people in Russia are extremely poor, the country ruled with mafians and nothing in between. Deduction follows that those in Karlovy Vary must be mafians. Add media looking for sensations, few shootings and generally low enforceability of law in the Czech Republic and the picture is very clear for someone just reading newspapers.

The Karlovy Vary is not only "known" as haven for mafians. Corruption charges against police in the city is almost regular event. Last year or so children prostitution is hot topic associated with this city: from time to time journalists come up with horrible discovery whereas police and city officers swear "they know nothing about it".

Karlovy Vary have very bad image among Czechs, comparable only by those most devastated industrial towns. Pavel Vozenilek 14:29, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

On the page [1] I didn't find any mention of 3/4 of trreal estate (or hotels) ownership. Did I miss something. The mention of mafia means: (1) media image, the city is simply stereotyped as their safe base, (2) there were several cases when a Russians living in the city were expelled from the Czech Rep. based on suspicion on organized crime (and this was pretty much used to enforce pint [1]).
