The few Russians I ever met are as easy going as these are. Questions are Do you drink Vodka? Do you smoke? One Russian is a Doctor who will shock you in his replies. Women are asked as are Men. We should stop stereotyping Russians. And Of course they do not like Communism.

They are disarmed. And many do not want to live in the USA.

Hope this will help you understand Russians. My goal is to help all of us not be bigots.

 
This will help to understand Russians like any number of late night comedy skits' "on the street questions". I dated and lived with a Russian of Ukrainian passport from Crimea.

The Russian people are just like any of us. There's good and there's bad. My father in law was from Ukraine. He was a young boy during the Russian revolution so he knew what war, poverty and near starvation was. He was a drinker - 'wadka' ie (vodka) but got sober when he got older. One thing about him, smart as hell, spoke at least six languages. But people from that region are all close to Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Russia, etc. and pick up these languages easily just like Melania Trump who grew up in Slovenia.

My son lives in Colombia and partied with Russian navy sailors when their ship was docked there. He sent photos of them all drunk and looking stupid. His observation of Russian sailors, 'they're freaking crazy"

I would be more interested if you wanted us to all understand the true nature of the Universe.

Molding ourselves into what power wants us to be, demands that we be, is worse than weak sauce.....it is failing at life.




SORRY!

The new Russia isn't the old Russia.

Too bad the democrats still treat them like the enemy.... They are no longer the CCCP.

I simply don't get our bigots who despise Russians. Back when they were the CCCP, they are impoverished. Not today.

I work for a large organization, and with both Russian and Ukrainian legal immigrants. My coworkers call Ukraine corrupt. It's the Ukrainian people who hate their country. I have a next door neighbor who just came from Ukraine, move in 2 years ago. I met the Brother who had been here for 20 years who speak good English before getting them here, told me his brother and family was moving and he was getting it ready. He had nothing good to day about Ukraine.

We are siding with the wrong side over their. Wanting Ukraine in the fold is a strategic idea, that is wrong. Their government is too corrupt.

I have never meat a Russian you dislike Russia like the Ukrainians dislike Ukraine.

I don't think most people have poor conceptions of Russians, just the Russian government.

I understand that so well. I left CA partly to live among normal, english speaking whites. We had roughly 55 percent Asians in Fremont.

I called this evening a woman I knew pretty well told me I did the right thing, leaving CAl She and I spoke of both of us once good Democrats who now want to shun them.

97% of Americans have not the first clue what Russians are like, so your point is irrelevant.

R U normally better than this?

This is DP, please try!

By golly, Putin sure has a fan club supporting him in Russia. They believe he is the good leader.

We Americans are woefully ignorant about Russians along with their government.

That is right, Americans tend to be some stupid ****s, as Carlin pointed out.

This does not bode well for U!

Normal, huh? And only "whites".

You're not leaving much to the imagination there.

There are very few governments who both do as poor quality work as California does as they lie to the people as much as California does.

I am of a very low opinion of the Failed Intelligentsia... but even I am shocked by the low quality of work, the immorality, and the incompetence of the Once Upon A Time great state of California.
