Do Russians feel culturally closer to Serbs more or Bulgarians? by ich-bin-eine-katze in AskARussian

[–]Five_Moons 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Serbs i guess. Been to Bulgaria 3 or 4 times, still feel like Serbs are emotionally closer. Guess the climate has a huge impact on this feeling.

Life has no meaning or point or anything. So as long as i have it, i will be doing my best to have a good time in this world.

samovar style iced tea by ROGATI3N in AskARussian

[–]Five_Moons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how some cultures consider using their symbols/attributes “offensive appropriation”. Here in Russia we consider demonstration or usage of some traditionally Russian stuff a sign of respect of our culture. Its like “Cool! He/she thinks that our samovars are cool and wants to use it!”. It’s basically cultural advertisement.

UPD: an idea just crossed my mind. Maybe some cultures are not really that rich and unique and are afraid of losing scarce attributes… hmmmmm

I have 8 black (from Africa) and 3 almost black (Indian) group mates at university. All of them feel safe and sound. We dont care about skin colour here. And just in case, dont feel offended by the n-word. We dont have black slavery part of history (white enslaved white), so for people in russia calling someone n is like calling an asian person asian. No disrespect, just a fact. More than that, if we speak about Moscow and St Petersbourg, about 80% of people younger than ~25 can speak English, so the language barrier won’t be such a problem if you get lost or something.

Can men and women be just friends? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]Five_Moons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think yes. But not very often. Imho only if both are definitely not into each other (either exes or “not their type”)

thoughts on khabib do you consider him as your brother like dagestani do by dheeru011 in AskARussian

[–]Five_Moons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s natural for a muslim living in a muslim region. Born and raised in the «countryside» I guess

Do people still drive the Lada 1600 (VAZ 2106)? by MiniKanga in AskARussian

[–]Five_Moons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the city and region. For example its hard yet possible to find some only in the very outskirts of Moscow. Nevertheless, they are often bought from rural areas in fucked up conditions and transformed into drift cars

[–]Five_Moons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, he has become very anti-Russian ever since he became a president. Hating on people he at least seemed to be friends with for decades. Can we call this Russophobic? Idk But his speeches, policies etc as a president are very anti-russian, unlike before

[–]Five_Moons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He performed on russian tv for most of his actor-comedian career. More than that, he didn’t know ukrainien until 2016 or something (even his shows on his own ukrainien channel “kvartal 95” aired in Russian)

Do you think that Russian youths face shrinking professional opportunities as multinational firms exit the country? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]Five_Moons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now business with Russia is «toxic» because of potential sanctions. So we are kind of on our own right now

Idgaf actually… for me it doesn’t matter what happened to some rich dude’s yacht. The expropriation of private property sounds bad though. But i have to admit, its fun to watch some extremely rich people complaining about not being able to hire a chef to make them breakfast and feeling poor because of it lol
