Do you like Russians? What do you know about them?

One biggest difference between Russians (in general) and Americans is that Russians used to be more fatalistic. Over centuries we, Russians, develop this feeling that there are too many things shaping our lives that are beyond our control. And if things are too good and you are happy, you may bring the wreath of fate (there was a Russian movie about this - "Envy of Gods"). So instead of creating material wealth that can be easily taken away, people would spend more effort on inner, spiritual things. Results - great Russian literature and music. Great sense of humor is a part of defense mechanism too
Americans are much more confident believing in American dream.
Things are changing in Russia and Russians are becoming more like American, masters of their own lives.

Russians look like most Caucasians, but there are many that look Asian as well. I learned people are good or bad wherever they are and in general most do what they can to survive.

We had a really lovely couple on our street a few years ago from Russia, they were both very hard working, polite and friendly, they were both lovely people and he was blond haired as was she, they just looked like anyone else to me, their trades of character were also just like anyone elses as far as I was concerned.

confident i might decide to think of so, because it fairly is a fallen international, materialism is fairly plenty displayed, values have long previous down the drain that seems has now surfaced...it fairly is merely an occasion how the international is popping its wheel, merely as we talk I spoke back one Q and complaining an analogous element, she became using for a activity, very plenty qualified yet no longer in terms of visual charm, and the guy who have been given the interest is underqualified yet have been given seems and subsequently asking right here the place the international has long previous...it fairly is barely one occasion, even in looking one's companion now, those with seems have extra useful possibilities of mushy existence regardless of their ugliness interior them..unhappy isnt it?
