7 myths about Russia

in #russia7 years ago

Hi guys, it's time to dispel a couple of myths about Russia and the Russians!

1. Russian parties are very funny


from here

In fact, this is not so. Usually "merry" parties are called village festivities. There is something inadequate. The fact is that historically men from villages or small towns like to drink. Their wives scold them for it. To have time to get drunk and get pleasure from how they are scolded, they try to drink more and quickly. And after that they start to go crazy.
Another reason - a lot of personal and public holidays. All relatives gather for these festivals, they drink a lot of vodka. When everyone is already drunk, then there are memes

2. All Russians drink a lot of alcohol


from here

In the middle and large cities the problem of alcoholism is not so common. Many russians do not drink at all. Parties are held in a calm and friendly atmosphere and are not distributed on the Internet.
Fact: by the volume of alcohol consumption per capita Russia is inferior to France, Italy and some US states

3. The Russians are profligate


from here

Russians like to throw dust in the eyes. We are ashamed to show poverty. In fact, we know how to count money and save money.

4. Russia is a backward country


from here

In fact, we have many innovative products and services. Russians themselves often think that the country is much behind in development (this is not quite so), so it tries to catch up with the rest of the country. At the same time, we have a lot of talented guys who make Russia better.

5. Russians do not know how to behave in society


from here

Foreigners usually see Russians abroad. At the same time, most of the Russians you could see are not our best part. In inexpensive resorts (Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, India) usually do not rest the very best of our representatives (those you could see on the video about Russian parties). On expensive tourist destinations you can often see rich Russians. They are often former thugs, thieves, bureaucrats. Therefore their behavior is rude. The bulk of Russian travelers are not visible and you do not pay attention to them.

6. Russians do not smile


from here

In fact, Russians can seem very morose people, but it's not. It's just that we have such a culture. We are thick-skinned, because we always wait for a dirty trick. We also do not like fake emotions. The Russians are very sincere and devoted. If we feel real positive emotions, then we will smile sincerely and truly!

7. It's very cold in Russia


from here

Maybe I'm used to it, but our climate does not seem very cold to me. Yes, 1/3 of Russia is beyond the Arctic Circle, where in winter the temperature is -50 C (-58 F). But there lives a very small part of the population. The bulk of people live in the middle of the strip and in the south, where it is rarely very cold in the winter

Ask what you want to know about russia and I'll write a new article about it
