TRUTH or MYTH: Russians React to Stereotypes 

I love Russian language, so...

All I know is Hello, how are you, You are beautiful, I'm fine, thank you, and bye bye in Russian : )

@@anandadaquino3604 Portuguese is a beautiful language as well ☺️ Португальский тоже красивый язык

All of the stereotypes are interesting and this video

The stereotype that I found interesting was the fact that most Russians aren't spies and they are not criminals

My third cup of tea in row whispers: "It's truuue". :)))

so true!!!

I think it is especially different for younger generations. I personally drink tea maybe once or twice a month (but I am a big coffee lover). And no vodka at all 🤦🏻‍♀️

About 3-4 cups of tea everyday. Russians are tea drinkers but coffee also find it's way here. Slowly but steadily

Totally TRUE. Russians are the greatest tea drinkers.

Russian sense of humor 🤣

@@AtlantisRouTou That has never been my experience with anyone in America...

This is also true in France apparently. They think it is insincere to smile at strangers.

@@AtlantisRouTou I have not once smiled at a stranger to avoid getting shot what. That is…not how that works at all

@@AtlantisRouTou I have never experienced that at all.

I agree- I wouldn’t view Russians as serious, but as honest.

the same reaction lol vodka is for students, poor people, homeless etc. One girl said correctly that people prefer whiskey or brandy (if we are talking about strong alcohol). I guess beer is the most popular alcohol

at first it seemed to me that I liked strong alcohol. More precisely, I really loved him. But at some point, the smell of strong alcohol just became disgusting to me. I've hardly been drinking since then. Please, it's good that I came to this conclusion at the age of 18 and will not spoil my life with alcoholism

@@alexkavanin1168 true! Beer is definitely the most popular one

One of six is 16.7%. It is not so little. Especially if compared with other nations.

@@worldoftancraft what the rubbish are you talking? For example German is used by approximately 100 millions people, while "dead" Russian is used by more than 200 millions people. Russian is the second language by popularity in the whole Internet. Live with it, dude.

@@yandreus only if you speak Russian on a native level

@@hokoriyostar8070 i do. my grandma educates us on russian and i've always spoke russian with my parents.

@@yandreus oh, that's cool!

YES. That's a huge pet peeve of mine. And also, videos about Russian culture/stereotypes with "Russian" people who either barely spoke the language or spoke it with a heavy American accent.

Big city problem... look to Berlin, NY etc... all are hurry and busy.

Same! I must have gotten pretty good at it as people would occasionally ask me a question in Russian and were surprised when I said that I didn't speak it. My language skills were so poor at that time.

Simple-minded, yes, but people most likely will think that's you're high on drugs or simply drunk

@@OlsblogThe difference is that in Russia we go with such faces almost everywhere, regardless of the city. If you see a smiling Russian on the street, he is either drunk or has a really good day.

@Richard Myers Tourists. People who are having a good day. People who were taught to smile when talking to people as opposed to having a "resting bitch face." Americans. Need I say more? Yes, I am an American. Many of my classmates were immediately I.D.'d as Americans because they couldn't keep their awe, and the small smile we're taught to always have, off of their faces while we were in Russia.

Mine too :)

Wanna make friends with a grumpy Russian, by chance?

You're in luck, take care of her

@@ursa_margo hello hello fellow russian :))

@@yandreus did you just smile while saying hello to someone you don't know? are you sure you're russian?

@@abdohm5219 huh?

"You" is the polite form in English. The informal form "thee" (toi in Fr or ты in Ru) is archaic and isn't used anymore. Because everybody was too polite to each other using you all the time, thee became obsolete.

@@jenslaughingfox9869 yep, that's what I try to explain, when this issue appear :)

Of course Russians would be bossy, through out the centuries they've been the most relevant country along with China.

Politeness in the Philippines is more on the amount of ‘po’ (word for respect, mostly used for elders) you could put in a sentence eg. ‘I’m going home na po’ ‘I’m getting there na po’ although I have to ask Tuba vs Vodka who will win?

Maybe that’s why Dutch, Germans and Russians are some of my favorites so far. Very direct and upfront and no guesswork if they actually like you or not😂

Yes we are

@@AsepTravels other countries consider it rude (sometimes) makes you wonder about the ethics of countries that don't put honesty at a premium

@@AsepTravels I am Russian-German and this is not true. Germans arent direct. They sound direct because of the language, the language sounds direct. But the actual facts that is delivered by the language is very sneaky. Its like a wolf in a sheeps skin.

@@Stinktierchen I think the biggest difference is that Germans care more about what other people think of them, Russians don’t...

Oh yes. More recommending for people from all around the world who speak a different language. I loved it! 👍😀

This is the first time I see Russians speaking their native language, it's amazing , but everything is fine, soon they will be banned from using the Russian language in other countries and only then will democracy win.

Did anybody else notice how the woman being obviously overweight and having not very good hair at 1:05 tells that the Russian men are awful because of their look and should have better haircut and do more sport?

@@MrVlad1984 She looks good wdym?

How do you like the Russian language by ear? Very interesting.

@Internet Hiburan didn’t you try to learn it?

@@Natashanjka me, I am trying to learn it :)

@@malidevGames good. What’s your level? What have you learned in Russian already?

@@Natashanjka I am beginner. I learn numbers, basics words like good morning, I have, it's, yes, no, or, and, etc... and I can read in Russian but a little slowly I learn it in Duolingo and RU-vid

What a kind comment! Thanks so much. As a person whose major is literature (and foreign languages), I'm very happy to hear about that :)

@@valeriiademianenko5155 my pleasure. Even though I’m a fan of French and British literature too, to me Russian literature is the best. There won’t be another Dostoevsky. Ever. I fear he might have just a bit less impact in non-orthodox people perhaps, especially in his later (and greatest) works. Greetings and love from Romania.

@@valeriiademianenko5155 hi! I'm actually an art school student hoping to study literature in University.. what are some books you would recommend to read?

@@spaceoddity6911 Hey, that's so cool! If you're asking about Russian literature then I'd recommend you three authors: Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, and Boris Pasternak. Choose any of their books, you won't regret reading them. And good luck with your studies💛

They are new zealanders. It's pretty much synonymous with igrnoramuses.

Tbh, 8°C isn't even that cold lol. I'm British and I could easily just be wearing a jumper in that kind of weather. Then again, I guess it varies from person to person.

@@Ricky911_ correct me if I'm wrong but I think you don't have central heating systems in houses in the UK, do you? Because I used to live in a warm tenement where you don't need to wear a sweater or jumper during winter. If you've been living for the whole your entire life in these conditions of 8 degrees at home, you have probably gotten used to it. Old habits die hard.

@@Someone-vg7ii yeah, we have central heating. I thought you meant 8°C outside btw. If it were 8°C inside my house, I'd definitely suffer from the cold.

Congrats!

Actually, your comment shows that you still have a lot to learn. There are 145 million people in Russia. Do you really think they all share the same "truth and beauty"? I'm not trying to be rude, but your comment is based on nothing more than romanticizing another nation. Russia has some wonderful people....and some not so wonderful people - just like every country on earth. In fact, Russia (and the US) is one of the worst countries for human trafficking on earth.

@@CMV314 I wasn't insinuating that Russia is all Roses and unicorns, but if Hollywood has anything to do with it, people get the impression that it's all demands and gremlins. Honestly, use your head. To paint a completely accurate depiction of anyone or anything, it would take a novel and there would still be something missing. Focusing on people's/a nations negatives is a comman reaction. Which you've just proven.

Wonderful

@Иван Дзиньковский very good to know, even me not being so fan of Coelho, there’s much better Brazilian authors. We Brazilians enjoy very much Russian literature, it’s a gift to the world indeed.

@Иван Дзиньковский dostoyovski was a racist white man. nothing interesting about him.

@@bakugokatsuki908 wut?

@@Valentina-eh5zf What other Brazilian authors would you recommend?

Exactly!!

these stereotypes were around long before English language dominated the world.

As a Russian living in the UK it's hellish, people seem almost dishonest from my perspective (or evasive, I suppose)

@@AeneasGemini Расскажи об этом побольше, пожалуйста!🙏🏻 Они и в близких/дружеских отношениях такие?

The US is very anglicized and you never really know if the smiles you are receiving are real. I feel people need you to smile so much because they need a lot of reassurance here. It’s not even the smiling. In Latin America, people smile alot but the smiles are never forced. Why are people smiling if they don’t feel it?

@Laxman Tiwari we just rarely share our emotions with strangers. and most Russians have a strong will, brought up from childhood

@Дмитрий Ротар stop spamming you stupid bot

They just don't know Russian.

Probably because "о" is often pronounced as "а", so you could technically also translate it as an "А" if you want to preserve the correct pronunciation for non-russian speaking mfs.

@@dazedd-fi4yx , theoretically I guess. But actually, that would not happen in the standard transliterations used in the English-language press. O is always rendered as O, regardless of the actual pronunciation.

I agree

@@relytnedred47 С хера они нам братья? Воевали против нас в обеих войнах и сейчас памятники осквернили. На хер они пошли

@@user-rn7gd9mw7q из-за таких, как вы, стереотипы о грубых русских не перестанут существовать

@@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.

@@user-rn7gd9mw7q вам не кажется, что обобщать - дело глухое? Одно дело - что творит правящая партия, другое, что думают и делают люди. Личное этот парень, думаю, не виноват во всех треволнениях, он высказал положительное отношение к нам, а вы нелицеприятно высказались насчёт всех болгар сразу. Если вы думаете, что подобным агрессивным поведением вы заставите уважать себя и свою нацию, то вы ошибаетесь. Нужно иногда помнить, что люди не ответственны за то, как ведут себя власти. И, хотя, кто-то (иногда и большинство) встаёт на их сторону, не значит, что так думают и действуют все. Мусьё как раз в комментарии показал, что он то, как раз, к русским относится уважительно. Может, если человек из меньшинства, стоит ему показать, что он действительно прав насчёт нас? Спасибо большое за развернутый ответ, но боюсь, мы очень расходимся во взглядах, как стоит вести себя достойному представителю достойной нации Всего хорошего!

@@BiglerSakura The word is Italian, but the concept is international, let's not forget the Chinese or Japanese mafia. The point is when we can talk about the mafia and when about gangsterism phenomena.

LOL taking too much care of your appearance is considered kinda "gay" among men in Russia, unless you're a tv host or something it's considered "a good manners" if you show a bit of dismissive attitude towards men's appearance including a "model" haircut, anyway paying too much attention is considered kinda feminine "cause women supposed to do that not real men"

@@joshualieberman1059 Yes, I already know that this is the case in Russia. But I think these sexist stereotypes need to change. I am not a Russian, I am a foreigner interested in Russian culture and I believe that the sexist stereotypes in both my country - Turkey - and Russia should be destroyed.

@@hilalcalk8285 I am a woman, may I have my say about men? I dont want a man too fussy about his appearance -its expensive and takes time which he should spend on me and children, if you add his friends, fishing and football - when he is going to take the rubbish out?

@@irina8551 Of course, men don't have to spend a lot of time on their appearance, but I can't deny that well-groomed men are always ahead. Even taking just five minutes makes a big difference. This is my opinion of course, everyone's opinion is subjective.

Well, I'm not sure about that, maybe I just don't understand male appearance. But I can say that among young people different hairstyles and hair dye are more popular than among older people. And yes, most likely it's just the time spent on appearance, almost anyone can become much more attractive with the help sports, nutrition, hairstyle, makeup, etc * Personally, I also wear a short haircut and utilitarian clothes, it's really more convenient, but everyone decides for himself

It's more about culture of "manly men don't need to use skin care and spend money on good haircut" that is present(but will die hopefully) in Russia, not about genetics.

The prettiest men I’ve seen were in Russia actually. Just fantastic jaws and lips lol. But they’re just careless with their visuals so it doesn’t always show if you don’t pay attention.

Now this is gonna sound bad, but this stereotype is perpetuated by gold-diggers, who want to marry a rich foreigner and leave Russia. They always slander Russian men and foreign women, saying things like "foreign men are all beautiful, foreign women are all ugly". However only a few of them have the cunning to actually catch a big fish.

@@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.

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.

I agree. I’m American. I’m actually a very direct person myself. And having a Russian girlfriend, I’ve learned a lot from her, and she’s learned a lot from my friends and family. We’re not that different. She’s loved dearly by us.

Приезжайте. Будем рады. Arrive. We will be glad to.

@@user-iz3zu7fz5x Спасибо большое! 😊

100 %

Thank you :)

Thank you from Russia!)

@Бот Бегемот what is your point mate? Are you trying to pick a senseless fight? 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.

@Willis Sqou i don’t understand your question

A concept applicable to the US as well

@Бот Бегемот our government is not that great and I do not support it along with half of Poles if not more according to the latest polls. Your views nonetheless are biased and in line with your state controlled tv, which has an interest to potrey us Poles this way. Come and visit and then talk.

Gut zu wissen;) LG😊

Yeah why isn't anybody criticizing the guy who was completely shocked when women pay? WTF? What's so unimaginable about that?

@@surveyorsairinc2166 it is not common in slavic culture to let the woman pay, even if it's just between friends.

@@salsadip7453 No not true this is changing. Polish and Czech women pay without a problem. Don't make it an ethnic thing. It's a backwards relic stuck in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.

@@surveyorsairinc2166 Poland is getting westernized, the feminists are starting to rule Poland

It depends... Sometimes we speak slow

Discriminated is not the right word. I would say underrated.

@@skoppppppppka Думаю ты хотел сказать underappreciated

@@steelbear2063 нет. Underrated.

it's true, in the movies they portray Russians as some kind of villains and it's a shame

@Бот Бегемот не понимаю, зачем недалекие дамочки в России этого Лагерфельда цитируют постоянно, он какой-то авторитет в области русской красоты? Совсем нет. Да и сам он не Аполлон.
