  • When you don't have to pay the rent nor any bills. Love dont exist.

• Russian people are quite traditionalists and have some point about family values and respect to elderly. It's OK if Russian girl wants you to meet her family, including grandmother and grandfather. When I was dating a girl who lived in Rostov-on-Don suburb we often spend evenings at dinner with her relatives because it's just the way it is. For Russians it's OK for adult people to live with their parents, or, truth to tell, Russian can see those eager to move to live on their own as bad sondaughter who don't care about their family. Show that you care about your parents and pay them attention, and a Russian girl would really appreciate it, as that's the sign of a decent man in Russia. Also, in controversy to common stereotype, not all Russians love drinking alcohol, in fact, there's a good chance to meet a Russian girl that will be cautious with somebody who drinks booze not at celebrations. On the other hand, tea is very popular in Russia, and sitting together in a kitchen or living room with mugs of tea having long chats is a Russian habbit. Tea quality is not that important, a big mug of tea makes feel cosy and helps the talk flow.

  • Finally! Someone remembers we like tea!!

  • I'm Russian girl and I wouldn't say that people are always for grown children living with parents. Most girls generally don't care if you live with your mom or not, especially Piter and Moscow citizens cause our real estate is expensive and most people under 25 CANNOT afford it (and me too). BUT! If you're a man older than 30 and you still live with your parents, you can receive very judgemental looks NOT only from women but also from other men. Because men are usually expected from Russian society to be providers for the family, it's expected from men to buy their own flat or house so their future spouse and children can move in. Many will call you "lazy" and "infantile" and these people don't care do you have big degrees or decent job, if you don't pay for your own living in 30s, Russian women will ignore you.

    Also, because most of Russian young people had experienced generational trauma of different levels of abuse, many girls after they get close to you will talk about problems in their relationship with their parents. My advice is: NEVER minimise the experience of your girlfriend and ALWAYS listen to her. When a Russian girl talks about her abusive mother/father, she's very serious about it. Many of girls are generally afraid to talk about domestical abuse with strangers cause it's a big chance they receive judgement and even shaming from close minded people. Talking with you about negative experience is a huge sign she DOES trust you and it's your role to not dissapoint your love ones.

  • Most of what you said is right-on Alex, good man

• As an American man dating a Russian woman, I can confirm at 3:26 that this is 100% true. She would talk forever about a topic and I barley get a word out. 😂 She is super lovey and supportive of anything that I do in life! I love her dearly. ❤️

  • I wish you good luck, I hope stupid politics will not interfere with peace between ordinary people.

  • @KateCassie that's ok, i hope you'll find somebody one day 🙏🏻 Everybody's different )

  • Now I see why I'm single. I'm Russian and for me this behavior is too stereotypical. But I'm not gonna change mine.

  • Where did you find her tho?

  • Sooo so cute!! Take care of her, good luck💗💗🥰

• I'm (American 44) newly dating (3 months) a Russian woman and I agree with the opening of doors and that she keeps herself well put together....she always has snacks too and knows how to cook just about anything. She's also the most educated person I've ever been with...super smart. She's also extremely assertive...we're going here, we're going there. There is no "I'll think about it" or "maybe"...it's either YES or NO. And when she says NO, its very blunt and direct like you just stepped on her cat. And if I tell her "Maybe" she's like "NO, NO, NO...there is no MAYBE bullshiz!" I've never been more obsessed with a female...

  • @kraanz what part is a red flag and why exactly?

  • Usonian not American

  • you are absolutely right, I am from Russia, and this is very destabilizing, American women are softer in this regard. Russians have become extremely belligerent or too active for 5-6 years now, it's sad that many of our women too.
    it was a very funny comparison with a cat.😄😹👍

  • Yeah, lol, good luck with that. All of those are major red flags, buddy.

  • Get out now!!!

• I had a Russian friend a long time ago, lost contact due to her moving and getting busy with life. We had no relationship but a nice friendship as she was married. I knew her husband too, very wonderful man. She gave me the rundown if I ever did date a Russian or anyone European as this hit the nail on the head exactly all these years later!

  I do miss that friendship and hope she and her husband are doing well where ever they're at!

  • Try to find your friends and reconnect with them again, I swear they will be heartily happy to hear you again

• As a guy married to a Russian girl for 7 years, i can confirm this video is 100% true. Since i come from Slavic country it wasn't hard to find a common language :)

  • What country you from ?

  • А јој ха ха ,нек вас Бог благослови,ипак су Руси скроз другачији ,ни близу попут нас

• Я 50% Русский и 50% Серб потому что мой папа из России а моя мама из Сербии.Красиво быть Сербом и Русским
  ☦👑🐻🇷🇺❤🐺👑☦

  • I am Russian and I love my Serbian people 🇷🇺 ❤ 🇷🇸

  • Serbian-Russian Alliance :0

  • @Кирилл Мирченко обрнуто

  • ты Мила Йевович?

• French guy here, and I also love "Moscow Does not Believe in Tears"! I think it's of the best Soviet films. It's actually a straight up existentialist film, using the easily relatable phenomenon of midlife crisis to illustrate the overcoming of the human condition (in this case, midlife crisis). One of my favourite part of the film is when they had this dinner party in the Moscow apartment, and the old guy said: 'Life begins at 40!'. That foreshadowing was just so artful.

  In general I think Russian art is just so genuine and sophisticated, unsurprising given its rich tradition of having the best composers, painters, and ballet schools. In western Europe for example, art schools focus primarily on conceptual stuff. There's a lot of emphasis on inventing new stuff merely for the sake of it. There's no content. It's mostly limited to mere 'self-expressions', simply because nothing else is left (but also because of pop influence where it's all just about 'self-expression'. But that was never the point of art. You can express yourself in other ways too). We also had a great ballet tradition in Paris, but alas it's been neglected nowadays. The great thing about Russia is that they've kept these artistic traditions and people still love them, while here children are brought up on American pop media. I hope that the Paris opera and ballet can revitalise but I know that it's a slim hope. I hope that Russia would hold onto its rich cultural scene and that parents would continue to expose their children to high culture from an early age, to treat it as part of their usual entertainment.

  • Хочется написать всем и каждому - пожалуйста, старайтесь сохранять свою уникальную культуру, тогда мир будет интересен. Всех люблю♥️

  • Same in Vienna, unfortunately. German and Austrian Youth (don’t know about the Suisse and German speaking minorities in other countries) take a lot from English and forget to speak the over 200 German dialects. It’s called Denglish and it’s horrible.
    Also coffee house culture seems to die. Vienna’s coffee culture is part of UNESCO and a lot of people go to Starbucks, for what.
    It’s hard to find a middle ground between change that’s needed (equality for example) and change that lets you forget your culture and heritage.

  • I'm Bulgarian and our culture is very similar to Russians, and I've noticed I'm very attracted to Russian movies and books, and so on, but I only like a handful of American stuff, and I can't stand the rest. American art is so over the top and fake to me. You perfectly put into words why I love Russian art so much!!!

  • Beautifully said! Right on point.

• Best line is “no it’s a comedy” Russian comedies are tragic 😂

  • 😂😂😂😇

  • The genre of tragedy and comedy is very intertwined in many of our films. It seems like a film about sad things, but with a huge number of funny and heartfelt jokes. But we also have a lot of just funny comedies and sad tragedies.

  • @Инна Юдакова they just don’t make films like that anymore.

  • No, it is very good films! My favourite is 'Kavkazska plenitza'. Ы
