- RUSSIAN CULTURE (from the perspective of several Americans who lived in or near Russia for 1-2 years.) Learn all about Russian culture and hear about the first time reactions Americans had when they moved to Russia. Russian culture vs. American culture. Russian culture vs. Ukrainian culture. An educational video about Russian culture. The culture of Russia may seem a little cold up front, but the more you get to know Russians, the more you'll realize how honest and loving they are with their family and close friends. Feel free to comment below your insights about Russian culture! Russian people are amazing!

Russian culture is great in the way they express emotion. In America we have to be so careful in the way we talk to not sound rude but in Russia people are honest in the way they speak. It is refreshing to see that.
" In America we have to be so careful in the way we talk" - How long have you gotten Japanese ceremonies? it used to be not so, I think :>
Yes they are very nice as long as you are not of color. My friend is having the hardest time with this issue.
@@kacgifts what do you mean ?
I find it adorable how they each compared Russians to a certain fruit who had a tough outer shell but is very sweet on the inside.
I really respect the blunt honesty of Russians. I would much rather someone tell me to my face they think I'm ugly and stupid like a Russian would then to pretend to be my friend and then tell everyone behind my back how ugly and stupid they think I am like Americans do. I really respect honesty more than anything.
Third guy really get the point. He understand Russian people.
Nope
Great presentation,delivery here.Truely a better perspective of the social culture,especially. 🐨
I really respect the blunt honesty of Russians. I would much prefer that to the fake passive aggressive niceness that is the cultural norm in America. I would have far FAR more respect for someone who flat out told me they didn't like me and to leave them alone than the passive aggressive b*tch who is nice to your face and talks about you behind your back.
In a few words we could see Russians are genuine and authentic. They are not superficial like Americans/Europeans. It really is the big difference.
When they describe russians,I see how Serbs and Russians are truly similar:)
I like this video about my Nation, but Not agree about the food though.
In Russia people eat healthier - almost no bad foods, not chips, or no fast food in US understanding of the word. We eat a lot of fish different kind, among them dry and cold smoked fish which is very hard to get in US, we eat river and lakes, because our lakes and rivers are not that polluted like in Europe f.e. We eat and drink a lot of sour milk product like Kefir, which is very healthy, but in US it became popular only few years ago. We eat more veggies than in US and bigger variety of preparing them. Lots of soups, not existing in US. We do not drink that much vodka, how in the west people think about us. We think smiling without no purpose is ill. We do not smile to unknown people. We have lots of tea parties and sittings and tea is usually served with pastries and pirogki, and 2-4 different cakes. We use any opportunity to celebrate, just to enjoy life and we are very conservative and value traditions.
And if we trust you, we will do everything for you and for your life, but you have to deserve the love and trust.
Russia is also Europe pal. Don't claim stuff about them and don't include yourself.
@@FranzFerdinand55 not really Europe because if its large scale it is considered Eurasian/Eurasia.
I adore this comment. I adore Russian people and families. My Russian friendships are the most loyal I have ever made. Beautiful Russia and its beautiful people. Your country is so strong, full of love and tradition that many people do not come close to understanding. I cannot Express the emotions I have for this country and the people. Love to you, Russia.
As an American I get much more connected to Russian cultures and norms especially when it comes to treating people
American government:
Say sike right now
WOW THE 3rd GUY LITERALLY DESCRIBED North and Northeast Brazilian Culture!!! with the exception that we smile.... but everything else he said, wow! we are very blunt!
Orthodox, like Catholics dont pray to Icons they ask saints to pray for them, the icon is just a reminder and supposed to inspire reverence.
Americans are so sensitive and indirect
I'm Cuban, but I'm in the U.S, and the culture is very plastic. That's not to be horrible, i'm very blunt. But I do agree that a smile is not always necessary and they are often cheapened. Americans have a habit of bastardizing things that are meant to be sacred. This video is pretty cool, and I can relate to a lot of this. With that being said, I still love the U.S., there's something about it that's very uplifting.
Thanks for your balanced point of view.
Damn the honesty thing, I really love that about the Russians
Wow you're answering so many cultural questions that I had being from Alaska
This was a really helpful video thank you
21:20 USSR didn't favor "Russian people", this is a popular misconception. They favored Russian culture/language, which was entirely pragmatic: they wanted to have this "communist melting pot" where the notion of ethnicity doesn't exist anymore and everyone is just "a Soviet man". And that kind new ethnos needed a common language/culture. So they favored Russian simply because it was already the most widespread language most people could speak (another option would be to adopt something like Esperanto). But the resulting culture was pretty far from the real Russian culture that existed before (in the 19th century) because it soaked in many elements from non-Russian cultures anyway. If you take a look at, say, modern "Russian" food: borsch is Ukrainian, shashlik is Georgian etc. etc.
It's like saying in the US they "favor English people" just because you have to speak English to be understood...
tl;dr USSR favored the most widespread culture everyone was already familiar with to base "Soviet culture" on
Very true.
There is line "nationality" in a soviet passport, but there is not the line in a russian passport. So, what didn't exist in SU as you think?
What the f... are you talking about? It's a lie. Soviet state supported and preserved very well the native cultures of all Soviet ethnicities. In every republic all pupils had to learn the native language(s), folk culture of different ethnicities was known to other Soviet people, often shown on TV etc. An exception is maybe nomadic people, who had to settle down in fixed settlements, because their children were "enforced" to go to school etc. But USSR supported and conserved the ethnical diversity well.
i know, but ironically slavic countries nowadays mostly kept their population slavic or at least european, while countries like england, sweden, germany and italy are turning into africa
22:25 my grandpa's mom wouldn't talk to him for a few months because he was Lithuanian but he was marrying a Russian woman. Also, I went to a Lithuanian summer camp (because i'm part Lithuanian) and since I was Russian, my mom told me not to tell anyone that I was Russian. Unfortunately, my friend who knew that I was Russian, told a lot of people that I was Russian, because of that, one person wouldn't even go near me.
thanks for sharing this video
The first one looks like Russian 😁
Russian people are nice and crative crafty respeful ..🇷🇺🇷🇺🌍🌎🌏🌎🌍🇷🇺🇷🇺
I live from India and your culture and thinking very good so very beautiful you
I love Russians ...recently i got a friend from Russia
Guy Number 3 vers Smart!
I love Russian culture (:
29:48 = Not fathers/men day!! Its litrely called as "Defender of the Fatherland Day" 23 of February , it is a hollyday for all men that were in the army or that are going to deffend the country in the future. pff... fathers day))) don't be silly!
Slavs are not similar because of the USSR! They come from the same cradle.
Woah is it just me or did that first girl who talked pick up a Russian accent or something? That's so cooolll
Oh my gosh I totally related to 47:40 about Russians being unfazed with everything. I'm Russian and a lot of times when I'm with my friends and they're freaking out about something I'm just like "mm. that happened. Cool." and they're like "HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM ABOUT THIS" 😂😂 So that's extremely relatable LOL.
Wow this is the first American I've heard who has 100% perfectly described Russia
My single disagreement with this video is about shaking hands, the reason people take their gloves off first has nothing to do with cleanliness, it's just that Russians have no concept of personal space and they don't want to shank hands with your glove, they want to shake hands with you. It's real physical contact that way
@@mikhailmorev8071 ♡...
The first guy reminds me so much of Nash Grier
4th guy didn’t mention that Russian tsar Peter the Great bought these Baltic lands at that time ( not country’s) from Sweden 300 years ago).
And that majority of ethnic Russians are, actually native to this lands. Also, Baltic states were not invaded by the Soviet Union. At least, not in the 1940.
true, that´s why Baltics must be part of Russia
These are Americans that came for missions trip so their view is a view from an occultist point of view. They obviously think they are a superior culture that came to save people from their way of life. They have some appreciation for things of Russian but over all have a distorted view because they were initially had ideas told and then tied to them(brainwashed) so everything they saw they put in that box. My perspective on them comes from my American born background from a Russian baptist family. Have been around many religious people from American baptist to Russian baptist and even they are occult like in my perspective.
I'm from Togliatti
I love you Russia or India
Culture depends on the location. In Moscow it's high
You say soviets opressed estonians, lithuanians and latvians. But these 3 republics had the highest standard of living in the whole of USSR. Higher than in Moscow.
Try looking at a bigger picture and check your facts first/
maybe it was just the region he was in or spoke to like minded people
USSR oppressed anyone it's socialism, it's oppression by nature
What is it about the tea and not drinking it?
Just ti clarify: they DO have houses!!! LOL And not everyone has double doors!
American russians I would say ....not the same thing
What should be taken to the deceased's house to offer condolences in Russia?
Jass Fleur an even number of flowers
although we are what americans would call "racists" its just protecting the people and their culture, and people and myself included are kinda annoyed to see tourists
ok, blazers. from this video I've learned that we Russians are like a pineapple, a watermelon...what else...ah, yeah - a chocolate covered sugar bunny^^ and you know what? this is all true:*
get sum hug there comrades
I like Russian culture
Coconuts aren't very good for that analogy. They're bitter on the inside, not sweet.
Sadly this is true , believe me I live there . Btw I'm not Russian .
...not sure where you were going with that but chocolate covered bunny? Only ones I’ve seen are chocolate bunny shaped shells that are hollow inside and empty...what you trying to say brah!??
looks like they are friendly people. americans usually have 'empty' eyes IMHO. even best actors in Hollywood movies have dumb empty eyes. But guys from this video somehow looks sincerely.
Agreed. BUT you do realize these are Americans who spent time in Russia. Not Russians. So for you to say their eyes look sincere voids your statement.
Tromsat I don’t think Americans have a culture because we are such a mixing pot. All Americans are immigrants ourselves. We do our own things with our own families.
It's not Father's Day!! It is the Veteran's Day. February 23.
48:09 lapchka isn't a real word in Russian and doesn't translate to anything, it's just a thing old Russian ladies call you. Sometimes they'll call you kotik which means kitten
lapochka should mean 'cute little paw' in accordance with grammar rules, but it just means smthng or smbdy cute (forget about paw)
Few know that Pushkin was black.
the last girl was cute enough
THEY ARE NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT COLD. THEY DO NOT WASTE SMILES LIKE IDIOTS. THAT IS ALL
When the German army initially swept through Russia, they told of capturing entire Russian divisions who were unable to fight due to being drunk with vodka.
Yes, nazis (whose soldiers actually consumed christal meth, by the way) are a veeery credible and objective source! Haha!
i love russian women better than american woman,they honest & dont cheat.....
Ukraine is very similar to Russia because it is Russia, lol
Basically like Texas and US before civil war, that kinf of thing
Woah I don’t understand how it’s Russia if it’s a whole different country, with a different name, a different language, different culture?
The Soviet Union collapsed into different countries c.1991.
@@lizzzardhi i would say Ukraine is not Russia, but both represent the Rus' people. Something like Germany and Austria, they just historically sort of split and the language was influenced by different things like Ukrainian by Polish and Russian by the old church slavonic.
1st
what is your mission? you can give russia nothing
Max Max What?
Its religious. I was very interested in hearing about Russian culture but all that was said in this video is pretty biased. Everyone talking was a missionary trying to brainwash an other culture into thinking like them. They have their superficial American background and describe what was weird to them. I would much rather hear a Russian tell us how America is different to them. And especially not in a religious context.
I agree. This mission is disrespectful. Orthodox church is 2000 years old. Go home
Why do these Americans have such an awkward accent
Im american and these guys sound completely american, nothing weird about their accent. They are mormons so they arent typical americans but their accents are very american
Cuz they're language is discount german
Their*
very midwestern accents.
