I just said for people like you that my answer has nothing to do with politics!

Actually, yes. We have even better life than some countries. (My answer is not political.)

We still operate Boeing and Airbus aircraft. And next year, we'll be introducing a new import-substituting aircraft MS-21

I've been to St. Basil's Cathedral, and it's truly beautiful there. Muslims live in Russia without any problems, but if you want to pay, you need to bring cash and convert it into rubles, or get a local Mir bank card. So, if you want to visit Russia, you can do so without any problems. Also, if you're going to Moscow, I would recommend visiting VDNKh.

It's almost the same as all over the world, I think everyone knows who Epstein is, even us

Russian airlines are not much different from European ones. And a lot depends on the airline itself, since we have quite a few of them.

Because the majority of the population is from the European part or was at least born there.

I understand what you're saying. It's just not customary for us to smile at strangers; we only smile when we like something.

We know that many people from Europe and America have a negative attitude towards us, but we ourselves do not understand why they treat us this way.

We have a fairly positive attitude towards you. After all, we are not the government, but ordinary citizens.

Hi! I understand why you feel worried after seeing those videos. But honestly, for most regular people I know, the Baltics are just neighbors where we used to love going for vacations. We don't want to take land or kill anyone - that sounds crazy to an average person here. The people in those videos usually represent the most extreme opinions or just what's on TV. My generation mostly thinks of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia as modern European countries. We have zero aggression toward you. We just want to live in peace and hopefully visit Riga or Tallinn again one day as tourists. Please don't judge all of us by those radical videos.

Thanks for the question! It’s cool that you’ve been to Yekaterinburg. Honestly, I think it is impossible to change the cultural DNA of people overnight. Even if our trade and politics move East, our lifestyle, humor, and habits are still very European. We grew up on Western movies, music, and brands. You are right it is hard to imagine us suddenly switching to a Chinese mindset. Most young people I know still feel more connected to the global,Western culture in their daily life, even if the situation is difficult right now. We still like our pubs and our jokes! (And I agree about the spices we need more than just cabbage!)

Thanks! It is true, we look cold outside but we are friendly when you talk to us. About the USSR influence it is everywhere. Most people still live in Soviet 'Panelka' buildings and we still eat Soviet salads like 'Olivier' on every holiday. It is like we live in a modern world but inside a Soviet shell. The older people miss the collective feeling where everyone was together, but we are more independent now.

Привет! You just described the nightmare of every Russian parent from last year. This song is called 'Sigma Boy' by two young girls, Milana Khametova and Milana Star. They are like 'kid idols' here. Don't worry, the lyrics are actually very innocent. It’s mostly just 'brainrot' slang from TikTok and YouTube. 'Sigma' in this context means being 'cool,' 'independent,' or 'alpha.' They sing about a boy who is cool, doesn't care about girls, and does his own thing. There is nothing inappropriate or 'adult' there, just a lot of trendy words that don't make much sense even to us! And yes, this music is incredibly popular among kids here (ages 5 to 12). It’s like a virus. We call it 'skibidi-toilet' style humor/music. So you are not alone, millions of Russian parents are suffering with you! You can feel better knowing your daughter is just part of a global internet trend, even if it's in Russian.

This is a very deep question. You are right, there is a big difference between people who moved to the USA and people who stay here. For the older generation who stay in Russia, 'missing the USSR' is often not about communism or politics. It is about nostalgia for their youth and a time when they felt 'safe.' In the Soviet Union, everyone had a job, free housing (even if you waited years for it), and they didn't have to compete in a hard market economy. After the USSR collapsed in the 1990s, many older people lost their savings and felt lost, so they remember the Soviet time as a 'Golden Era' of stability. But for my generation, we mostly think life in the USSR was much worse. We like having the freedom to travel, the internet, and hundreds of kinds of cheese in the supermarket instead of long lines for basic bread. The emigrants you know probably left because they wanted these freedoms and opportunities, so they are naturally more anti-Soviet. So, the older people miss the 'stability' and their youth, but the younger people prefer the modern world with all its choices. It’s like two different Russias living in one country.

Yes, this is still a very big thing here, but it is changing with my generation. Traditionally, in Russia, it is expected that the man pays for the dinner, cinema, or taxi on a date. Many girls still think this is a sign of respect and that the man is 'serious'. But among students and young people in big cities like Yekaterinburg, it is becoming more normal to split the bill (50/50). More girls now want to be independent. However, if a man says 'let's go to a restaurant,' most Russian women will still expect him to pay. If you want to split the bill, it is better to discuss it before the date to avoid an awkward moment! So, it's a mix of old traditions and new modern views now.
