It's true about Russians giving women gifts. My cousin also dated a Russian man and received flowers or boxes of chocolates from him whenever they met. Later, when they moved in together, she received flowers from him less often 😂 but he never forgot about it ☺️

Russian is interesting to me because I do feel like the Russian English accent can sound a bit aggressive but the Russian language itself has a wonderfully smooth flow to it when you hear it spoken.

I just love how the American guy drops his hands on the Russian’s back as a form of support from time to time, that’s adorable

Interesting video. I am an American born and raised person who moved to Russia over 20 years ago. I forget some of the American customs and stereotypes they have about Russia. Probably the one I come across the most is Americans thinking it's still the Soviet Union here.

Забавное видео )привет из Москвы братья и сестры Славяне . И всем людям планеты

The ending hahaha 😂 great video, love this group 😊 bring Vadim back for sure!

Vadim seems like a good catch

"God in Heaven,  Russian brothers / sisters on Earth" Serbian proverb. To us Russians and their Slavic dialect are beautiful, soulfull, poetic...., stoic yet profoundly sensible ,like Sergei Jesenins poetry!

It's not only how media depicts the Russian language. I grew up with my two best friends one from Bulgaria and one from Russia and with both I had the same interactions. They talked to their parents and to me it sounded like they were yelling at each other.
When I asked it was something like "oh my mom just wanted to know when we'll be back so she can prepare dinner."

This were all live interactions - no media involved.

Im estonian and i grew up alongside russians in the 90s and i think the language doesnt sound aggressive but the people speaking it can. Russians are very temperamental and even when they are speaking excitedly they sound like they are arguing.

I mean the Russian dude was right about a Russian oligarch likely having more than one partner.

Haha, this hits close to home. Not long ago, my Russian colleagues and I were on a Zoom meeting with foreign partners. Later, someone shared a screenshot of the call. It was hilarious and terrifying at the same time: all the foreigners were beaming with bright smiles, while we Russians sat there with deadpan, stone-cold faces. To be fair, I was just intensely focusing on some calculations at that moment. But looking at that picture, I literally went, 'Oh my god, we really do look exactly like the stereotypes

Тренер, орущий на девочек - это БУКВАЛЬНО Карполь, поищите. он был тренером женской сборной по воллейболу, над ним даже уральские пельмени еще в КВН угорали - "КУДА ТЫ БЬЕШЬ, СССССВЕТА"

I hate how media shapes our stereotypes of others. For instance, Russians are always portrayed as gangsters or the bad guys so people grow up thinking it's real. Meanwhile, I really find the language and people interesting.

Laughed HARD about that "five wives"... :face-blue-smiling::face-green-smiling:🤣
"Boys will be boys!!!"

You should do reaction on characters speaking slavic languages in English speaking movies.

Russia is a gorgeous country with an incredible culture. The hardness of the language and their seriousness are exactly what make them distinct and fascinating. Unfortunately, most Westerners only know Russia through stereotypes built up by Hollywood.

American here, grew up with these stereotypes. Then lived in Russia 3 years, and was so very impressed with Russian character, sincerity, style, and definitely language. Now im convinced Hollywood's task was to destroy accurate perceptions of russians.

The end cracked me up…”you have all the rubles” 😂

GULAG is an acronym - Glavnoye Upravleniye Lageryamy - Main Labour Camps Administration - thats why when you constantly say "sent him in gulags" - is wrong and we hate it. It was like ministry for prisons, not prisons itself
