What a lovely post. May you go from success to success brother. ;~]

Are you sure men carry little pink purses for women in Serboa? :) not really... They do carry suitcases etc.

@@jelenakomlenac7096 I didn't say they wear pink purses, but bags, more like groceries.

I agree 😊 we are Slavic ppl and brothers. 14. Jan., 1 September, and all facts. So smilar we are. I can not se any strange fact in this video ☺ only we havn't bells on 1. September. I like Russian writers, composers, balley, painter, movies, way of life, dacha, e v e r y t h i n g and dont be silly had any comlex, especially in relation to Western culture. Russia is big, and the most interesting and beautiful country with great brave, clever, classy people . Greatings from Serbia 😘

It’s not a slavic thing, we do the same things in Romania. Except carry a purse if you’re a man.

American herre. One collision at moderate speed was enough to make my believe in seatbelts. I hit the dashboard HARD! (are redheads common in Russia?)

Well, very beautiful, buckling up only for the police. Especially if this is done when you have your own children in the car. Especially considering how many traffic accidents they have. Also, a very beautiful culture of men being drunk basically all the time, with the family violence being one of the highest in the world. A very beautiful culture of being very rude to people whenever one feels like it, a very beautiful culture of extreme corruption. When you want to go to the doctor, for example, you have to bribe someone or know someone who knows someone..... Children bring flowers to teachers, great, very cute. But put that in the context where people bring expensive cognac or even money in envelopes to their doctors.... you may see it in a different perspective. Everybody bringing some sort of presents to everyone because you never know when you may need someone. The Russian culture entirely depends on who you know and in whose good book you are. So, from far away Russia may seem beautiful, especially when that beauty is brought to you by a beautiful girl, who is actually not at all a typical Russian. I also like her videos. But trust me, when you are a little bit closer to Russia, so close that Russia is your neighbour, and you have experienced Russian terror and idiocy for centuries, you no longer really see any beauty in it. Watch some videos by Daniil Orain here on youtube, where he interviews people in Russia about what they think about Americans and you will no longer se them as beautiful souls. Americans apparently are faggots among other things who will shortly die of hunger. But maybe Russians will give them bread by humanitarian aid to just keep them alive because Russians are such good people... This is not my opinion, but an average opinion of average Russian people. Watch that channel and you will believe me. In short: The Russian culture seems beautiful only if you see it from far away and only some chosen aspects of it and ignore everything else. They are rude, intolerant, quite violent, indifferent about everything that does not concern them personally (like the war in Ukraine) Greetings from Estonia

In the northern regions of Russia, for example in Siberia, people are ready to help each other. The natural conditions there are difficult, so over the centuries a new community of people has formed there - the Siberians. For example, in Siberia they will never drive past a car that has stopped on the side of the road. If it happens in winter, then even if you refuse help, they will definitely come and help almost by force. They think maybe you’re not local, then you’re stupid and don’t understand that you’re in danger. In Texas, for example, in the desert, is there something similar?

I was taught those IN PUBLIC SCHOOL in New Jersey in the 50s and 60s.

What were you taught about being hospital maternity ward, churches, schools, and everything Jewish??? Clearly Russia's leaders were not taught the same!!! 😭😥😠

@@tammylove8337 ruZZia’s mix-mashing of church and state is just another tool of control over the populace. Even the not-Z master’s friend and patriarch Kirill is (or was) a kgb asset (or asshat)...

In Klingon we do it too!

It is the ecclesiastical new year in accordance with the Christian calendar. The first great feast of the year is the Nativity of the Theotokos on September 8th and the last is the Dormition of the Theotokos on August 15th, in between the two is the new year on September 1st. Of course, this is September 1st on the Ecclesiastical calendar, so if you're on the Old Calendar, as in Serbia, this should fall on September 14th on the Julian or civil calendar.

@@dianem7677 not at all. She says in her videos she gets hate messages and threats. Why? Hers is not a political channel, she’s just showing us the beauty of her country.

@@TelmaFrege ...she needs to make videos for Russians, not Americans because her country invaded innocent Ukraine and 90% Russians sit on a fence and think that it is all western propaganda that Putin is killing Ukrainians.

yes, and bottled water and big bags of rice by people here from Asia.

or the panic buying of gas where people filled plastic bags with gasoline was stranger as well

Yeah, toilet paper also disappears here in Russia as well as buckwheat.

Oyea, the oh so wealthy developed Europe did the same… during a crisis they hoard toilet paper 🤦‍♂️

How do 'intelligent women' in Russy-a feel about grandmothers (babushka's) in Ukraine being bombed out of their homes? Their water plants, electrical plants attacked by Russy-an missiles with Winter coming on? About little girls 4 years old, hit by missiles, ripped apart by disgusting Russy-ans? About orcs invading Ukrainina villages, raping their women, stealing their personal belongings, can we go on and on and on? Russy-a needs to think about what Russy-a is doing in the world. Your 'men' run like chickens from Ukrainian men and women, flee to the 'Motherland' - HAAAHHAHHAA! Russy-an 'men run like chickens from conscription officals to countries Russy-a has been bullying for a hundred years. Russy-a's national symbol in their flag - a TWO HEADED CHICKEN!! Now the world understands!!

I had a little girl student from Lithuania and she gave me big flowers on September the 2. I was so surprised and also felt that Sweden have really come far away from respecting the school system and teachers. I don’t think there’s any other country with so much behavior problems at schools

We also do that in philippines minus the bell stuff instead we give them flowers and gifts sometimes depends on the students. Even parents of students sometimes organized a celebratuon in school bringing food to show gratitudes to teachers for educating their childrens. It is somehow show of appreciation to teachers. We call it "Teachers day". During that day also, teachers pick one of their students to substitue them in lecturing the other students in the class while the teacher is just observing how the whole class is going.

Wonderful effort. Hope more people can reach their hands for a better world.

I also noticed that we have lot of things in common with texas guys. There's also one KZfaqr from texas in Russia explaining common thing's.

Russia is what Texans wish America was.

I remember how my father took me to his first classroom teacher - the teacher who taught him in grades 1-4. My father wars born in 1939, so these must be the years of 1945-1950. And we were vising her in late 1990s. The teacher was over 80 years old already at that time. This was such a touching meeting!!! This teacher loved my father and visa versa. All walls of this lady's apartment were covered with collective photos of her classes throughout her teacher's career. And she showed me a photo with my father's class and my father on it (he was 8 or 9 years old). We had tea with strawberry jam and we also brought flowers and a cake. The lady's daughter was there as well. And we had such a warm and pleasant time together.

Interesting …is this the case in both urban and rural schools?

Love that one teacher idea

@@maximwilson1482 yes

@@maximwilson1482 Yes, it happens everywhere. But in fact, you only have one teacher from class 1-4. is impossible, because one teacher cannot perfectly know the Russian language, History, Biology, Geography of the world, etc. And in Russian education, Mathematics, History of the world, Social Studies, Geography of the world, etc., plays a very important role. In college, I had more than 8 varieties of mathematics at all.

My first "1 September" was in 1985. I remember that the teacher's entire table and window sills were covered in flowers and the whole school smelled exclusively of flowers

Yes, I loved to learn about this Russian tradition. It seems like a great way to meet your classmates before instruction starts for the year. I wish the United States had such a clear start to the school year. I never know which of my nephews and nieces start school in August, which in September, and some start on Monday, some on Thursday. It's so random!

Amen to that!

Dont forget Susan the high beam tap to move someone over from the left lane. Some states its, 'keep right except to pass'.. We sometimes turn our left signal on too until they move over.

I'm wondering if the First Bell and flowers for teacher aren't an old Soviet custom.

@@davidjohnzenocollins Also, we have last bell for people who end the 11th grade but not everyone ends the 11th grade because some children go to college for example

It's not about whether the gift giving is corruption in this context described. Its more that the mindset of, I give this gift, in this very ritual, almost superstitious way (most Russians admit they have this ritualistic, superstitious, non empirical mindset) for this or that service, becomes 'I give this gift for favours'. You already paid for this or that service, in the majority of cases so, whilst the giving of a gift might have hood intentions, empirically speaking, it is merely a fact that one person paid, say 2000 rubles + 1 gift and the next person paid 2000 rubles + no gift, and to think that a subtle barter system doesn't exist in the Russian mind is naive and insincere. So this is how it works in Russia. Russians slowly develop the habit of giving things for favours and this is why the country is as corrupt as everyone says. This young lady cannot even comprehend Putin's corruption, it would literally shake the foundations of what she knows is possible. Face and facade and the fake morality which the mediocre FSB agen leaders apply to their population, is hard to see through when you have mostly lived under Tsars, and similar, for your entire history.

Your Russian and Slovak traditions are similar to Polish.

@@tommckellen342 i cant imagine a teacher who would feel like they need to "return the favor" just for a bunch of flowers on September the 1st. Its not a gift and it's not a ritual. Its a simple tradition. And most of these flowers end up in a trash (okay, sometimes given away to someone else), because there are around 30 kids assigned to 1 teacher and keeping so many flowers or even remembering who brought what is kinda impossible. To me, its a beautiful tradition, when the teachers are honored as they deserve. One can find dirt everywhere..

Hi, dear, how r u??

Yeah our younger generations are slack lol I guess they wasn't taught?

What is western culture? Putins vocabulary. Only in Scandinavia you can meet these door issues, never experienced in Europe. But they help women with house works and childern a lot. Russian men rarely do it and in general they treat women like sluts. So opening doors do not show any respect at all to feel proud about that habit. At home after opened doors woman is beaten.

What about us who live in the Far East, the ASEAN REGION. Our cultural heritage stem from the same route your ancestors came. We also practice those "strange" rituals ourselves (opening doors for ladies, giving up bus seats for female and elderly, 1st and last days of school year is a big deal. YES, YES, YES we experienced exactly all those virtues. I'm 76 now and have those root feelings in my veins... and in our country. We treat our women and elderly with respect, and beat our children with sticks. But not anymore in 2022. Life changes.

russia culture of giving flowers to teachers only looks corrupt to westerners where the education system is used to confuse children and do devious things to them without their parents knowledge.

@@apdjr5758 we had the same things in the US when I was young but it has changed.

Regarding blinking of your car lights to warn others of police, I believe it's mainly truckers that do this. Otherwise, it's done when other car still has "high beams" on when they should be turned off when there is an on-coming car (to avoid blinding them)

@@paulinejensen7968 if u make an up and down motion w ur arm, the trucker will honk his horn.

@@paulinejensen7968 no, some of us still quickly flash the lights to warn a oncoming driver to slow down but it is also to let them know there's an emergency ahead. This is handy in the country where there's hills and other blindspots.

I peel my banana the "Russian" way too. But only after I learned that chimpansees do it like that too, and it's way easier and less messy to do it that way.

yeah, peeling the banana from the stem is ineffective and ridiculous. I have no idea why I was taught this way, but I never went back obviously

Idk, I live in Russia and I always break the "handle". Its just easier.

Stem peeler here, there is some junk at the other end I prefer not to eat or touch, which gets discarded with the peel, so there is that.

Yes, I was thinking this too. I have only seen it in the US only outside of the cities on the highways.

here in California, it is illegal to flash drivers to warn of police

@@mfmayes I'm in California too. I didn't know that, or forgot. I have never heard of anyone getting cited for it. I'll ask my retired CHP friend. We are supposed to drive with headlights on during rain, but I don't know if that's done much.

Where are you guys from in the US? I've never correlated flashing lights with anything other than communicating that the other persons headlights arent on.

I love your optimism but I was born and raised in Russia and people in Russia are very different when it comes to their values. All Russians you see on KZfaq who make videos for the English speaking audience are not your average Russians. Those are the people that the Russian propaganda will call leftists. They’re all very liberal (not American liberal) people and want to be allies with the West. Unfortunately the majority of Russians aren’t like that. If they were, Russia would be on top of the world right now.

@@slava8617 , having values is not an unfortunate thing. It's actually something to be proud of. And if the majority of Russians didn't have them Russia would not be on top of the world, but just another colony with lots of cheap natural resources. And saying that I must point out that I don't come from Russia, I have no Russian origins, have never been there and have no intentions of ever going. And would probably personally benefit it things were different. This is just a neutral observation. And this doesn't imply that Russia is an all goody-goody and is doing everything for the benefit of other nations and humanity in general - it's not. It's having it's own policy for the good of Russia, not of, say Europe, the West, Africa or whatever. But it is looking after the interests of the Russian nation - and this is what it it supposed to be doing, right?

@@slava8617 Absolutely correct Slava. It is well documented (just search it up) that there are 4 main groups of people in Russia; the urban liberals (mostly in non-industrial cities though), the industrial city dwellers, rural Russians, and the non-white Russians (for example, the Buryats). The only group that does not support Russia's war atrocities is the urban liberals and they only make up about 20% of the population. The remainder do not want to be friends with you Glenn H regardless of how much beer flows.
