Hey everyone! I decided to make this episode in Russian as some of the participants didn't speak English well, and I speak Russian. Let me know how you felt watching a video in another language! It's not something I will do often, but it's always interesting to try it out 🤗 Also which stereotype was the most interesting to see confirmed or crushed? Let me know below!

The "Russians are serious" stereotype is one of the most annoying. It's simple cultural difference. In the USA people smile just to be polite. In Russia a smile is usually a direct sign of affection/friendliness. Friends smile a lot to each other, but if you smile to a complete stranger, that would make him uncomfortable.

Russians sound too direct and bossy in English, because they apply Russian phrasing to English. English speaker would say "Would you mind opening the window", a Russian would say "open the window (please)", so we could came off as rude when we just say things as we would say it in Russian. Also English doesn't have polite form of You (Вы in Russian or Vous in French ), so many Russians struggle with that a lot. They *want* to be polite, but they just don't know how, and it takes some time to learn.

I am Russian but have been living in New Zealand for nearly one year and a half. Houses here (unlike Russian ones) don't have central heating and it's freezing especially in June, July, August. How tired I am of phrases like "But why do you suffer from cold here? You're Russian, you must've gotten used to it!" Damn, my nerve system ain't been frozen off, 8 degrees is still cold for me! Also, some people ask: "Is it cold there? In Russia?" I'm like: "When and where?" - "Well, in Russia. Throughout the year". What am I supposed to be answering? It can reach +50 degrees Celsius during the hottest summer days in arid regions near the border with Kazakhstan, for example. On the contrary, the temperature of -60 degrees once was detected in a remote settlement. So, is it cold in Russia? The second thing I totally loathe is all vodka-related questions. I've never drunk it and I don't want to. However, it doesn't fit in some people's heads how a Russian 20-years-old guy may be a teetotaler.

@@aliceestes7549 Давайте трезво разберёмся. Они воевали против наших союзников сербов, кстати, против своих же братьев-славян в Балканской войне 1912-1913 при турецкой поддержке? Воевали. Они воевали против нас в 1914-1918? Воевали. Они были враждебны нам в 1940-е ? Было. После этого мы открыли их с-х продукции свой рынок, хотя всё то же самое росло на Кубани, в Ставрополье, на Кавказе. Ладно, они не хотели жить в коммунистической Болгарии (в турецкой и нацистской, наверное, лучше жилось). Допустим. А причём здесь памятник Алёше? И вообще мёртвые? Причём? Факт, что памятник и захоронения оскверняют? Факт. Да, наверное, есть там русофилы, но они очень незаметны, если разобраться в сухом балканском остатке. В любом случае, болгарское общество по отношению к России ну очень неоднородно, ну уж не так едино, как Сербия. Те же хорваты относятся к нам дружелюбнее и без надрыва. А Ваша позиция - это просто рефлекс на страх потерь 1941-1945, и я её понимаю, так как сам русский, но только этот страх и эта политика оправданы, пока нет войны, пока и если Болгария не реализует по отношению к России враждебную политику. Но ведь осуществляет. И и это факт. И много болгар-русофобов взбрыкивают против нас без всяких оснований. Поэтому ваши опасения, что нас станут как-то не так воспримать, - фантомны и питают благоглупую надежду, отражение которой легко угадывается в самоироночной русской частушке: С неба звёздочка упала Прямо к милому в штаны . НИЧЕГО, ЧТО ВСЁ ПРОПАЛО, Лишь бы не было войны! Так вот, замечу Вам, как в том еврейском анекдоте: не волнуйтесь, Сара Марковна - уже! Уже давно всё пропало. И лучшее тому подтверждение то, что они всё чаще поминают нам БНР, СССР, то есть то, чего давно нет. И всё глуше вспоминают 1877-1878. За 30-35 лет они давно могли бы явить чудеса хозяйствования, а под крылом ЕС - и подавно! Просто для них русские виноваты онтологически. Англосаксы исповедуют эту веру в русле собственной политики, а какие-нибудь болгары или другие шавки - вынужденно, т.е. подчиняясь гегемону. Но меня как русского совершенно не интересует, чем болгары руководствуются в своей антирусскости. Это их психические проблемы. Важно лишь, насколько их замуты, какого бы они ни были генезиса, опасны для моей страны. Поэтому я не боюсь ни понравиться, ни не понравиться, в частности, тем же болгарам. Меня драма их мнимого разочарования в России не коноё@ит. И Вам предлагаю не заниматься плохим русским и безответным подвижничеством - самоумалением. И добро бы только безответным, а то ведь с плевками и дерьмом на нас и наших мёртвых в могилах! Вам перестройки и 1990-х не хватило? Исчо хоцца? Чтобы наши надежды на ответное благородство, на ответные уступки изнасиловали и убили? Надеюсь, я доступно изложил? Не совестите меня моралитэ тех, кто живёт животным интересом и готов нас сдать не за понюх табаку! Они - скот, илоты, которых через нищету ведут на убой, а на нас они все ещё злятся, потому что теперь мы отказываемся их бесплатно кормить. Завоёвывать им снова независимость, как в 1877, прощать им обе мировые войны, покупать у них их растительное дерьмо в ущерб своим сельхозпроизводителям, идти им на уступки с ЮЖНЫМ ПОТОКОМ итд. Руку сакса и германца не куснешь: как бы ни чмырил, а дотационную дозу пока кидает...а Ваня уже не кормит, эх, полаю на Ваню! А Джон отвернется, так и Ваньку подмигну (как с передумыванием по турецкому потоку), авось поймёт, что я это не со зла....не со зла... это просто хозяин велел!.." Ну а мне-то, русскому какая радость? :) Не, мать, болгары- дно.

I think that the thought that Russian men are not handsome is due to the fact that they do not pay much attention to their appearance. For example, our men (Turkish men) shape their hair and take care of their clothing. Of course, not all of them are like this, but compared to Russian men, ours are more well-groomed. I think Russian men are genetically better than Turkish men because they are taller than Turkish men and their bodies are more athletic. Russian men have beautiful hair colors, but they cut their hair short and they don't care that much about their clothes. These are my thoughts, of course, does not apply to every Russian man. And, of course, we must not forget that Russian women attach great importance to their appearance. Because they are very well-groomed, the neglect of their men stands out.

The funny part is that the guy is from Krasnodar so you can check it out on a map-- this city is a capital of the most southern governmental region. It's like 40°C in there during summer.

I was born and raised in the US, but I feel close to Russian culture. Both of my parents are immigrants from South Korea, so that's probably why. I recently started learning the Russian language for fun because my friend (who is also a child of Korean immigrants) told me to listen to music by Кино because Viktor Tsoi's father was Korean. I also learned how to read Russian because it helped me learn Mongolian, so I could communicate with an old man at my job who is an immigrant. Because of Кино, I watched the movies Лето, Игла, and Асса. I've been digging more into Russian music and I really enjoy the old music from Аквариум, Гражданская Оборона and Чайф. I also love Молчат Дома from Belarus, and a few bands from Sierpien Records like Группа Хмурый, Праздник and Ploho. IC3PEAK, Shortparis and Pussy Riot are cool too. Learning how to sing and play songs on guitar is helping me learn faster because it's a fun challenge. I practice singing when I'm at my warehouse job too, which helps me memorize lyrics. Now I want to try to read Dostoevsky again. I tried many years ago, but it was overwhelming. Because of this video, I want to find more Russian authors.

Good on you братишка. Кино is an incredible band. There is not a single person in the world who has listened to it and didn't like it. I also like Звери from late 90's early 00's. It is a different genre of rock, more like pop but you will love it.

@@NatalySwiss For our foreign friends. Ukraine has become a nation in 1991, by the will of the elite. To justify and protect their "achievements" of robbing tens of millions of people, they required a national myth, based on denying every relation to Russia, thus upbringing xenophobia towards Russians and others. Unfortunately for the our ukro-nаzi friends, historically they were always a part of some other nation, and independence movement wasn't big nor successfull. Now since you've been "gifted" independence (it's a gift for nаzis, tragedy for everyone else) you blame all your problems on Russia. TLDR: Bulgakov or anyone else you call Ukrainian were only ethnically Ukrainian, but they were a part of Russian/Soviet nation, whether you like it or not.

"Laughing for no reason is a sign of stupidity" - a rough translation of a very common saying for the post-Soviet people :) Yes, we do keep a serious face when interacting with people we don't have a close personal relationship with, doing a job, shopping, etc. A smile on the street means "I know you, I recognise you" - so people may get confused about why is a stranger smiling at them? Did I forget who you are, do I know you? My mind's been goingto a recall/recognition overdrive for the first 2-3 years in Australia, all the time. If a post-Soviet person smiles at you - congratulations, you are close enough to be considered having a close social relationship :)

I have heard that, in general, Russian people actually mean what they say instead of giving some vague answer/committing to something then flaking out later like people often do here in the U.S., and I honestly think that is a great thing if true. I am very direct, honest, and if I commit to something then I do it, so it would be very refreshing to be around more people who didn't value being "nice" and "friendly" over honesty and following through.

I often deal with "Western" people, for an American to give a word and not fulfill a promise is the norm, for a Russian man (if he is a man in the full sense of the word and not biological) it is a shame not to fulfill a promise, even if it is not his fault and he can't, it's still a spiritual burden. It's easy for a Westerner to say "I swear to do this" and then not keep the promise.

Firstly, what you say is absolute bollocks, we don’t have any interest in Belarus and we respect their affinity to Russian culture, I said culture, Russian geopolitical influence btw is not at stake, no need to get edgy. No-one wants Belarus in Nato nor the EU. Secondly, you’re the perfect example of going against so many common Belarussians and their opinions. If you want to fight go to other channels and respect this producer, this is not the place for your bollocking.
