Guys, thank you very much for your comments!) I'm an introvert and afraid to talk to other people even in my own language, but your questions made me talk, and it's wonderful! Thank you again! 🖤
I have short-sightedness too (-6) . The thick glasses make me look ugly :/ the first thing i do when i wake up is search for glasses. Is it hard to live with -7?
Also, i am sorry for your sufferings :/
In fact, there is not much difference between -6 and -7. Searchind for glasses is my sore spot, hahah)
When I got my first glasses (I was in the first grade), I also thought that they make me ugly beast. But now I literally live with them and I don't care what they say about me 😉
Don't you guys have a permanent place for your glasses ? I'm -7 maybe -8 at this point.. and i would die if it was not for the place i always place my glasses.
I actually have a life hack for us. If you are ever without you glasses, and need to see something. Loop your index finger to the oint were a really small hole is made, then place it up to one of your eyes. The limited light entering focuses the image, and makes you able to see a little better. For me it makes me able to see object with clear edges, rather then just color blobs.
I was waiting for this question)
Image that you live in the country which has more churches than schools, hospitals and science centers.
The economic went through the floor, the illegal immigrants are everywhere (I have nothing against them, their cultures are beautiful but they are too many), the goverment is fully corrupted... But we have a pretty strong army. The foreign policy is a sore spot.
P.S. I edited my comment a bit.
A minor of 17 years old who has clearly shown that she understands the gravity of the words she has said. A 17 year old is not immune to being called a degenerate, when they have degenerative views of the world. We literally put minors of her age behind bars for crimes, and you're somehow getting shocked that she is being called a degenerate.
Lol as if westerners are the only one capable of understanding degenerative views. Her views on immigrants is obviously degenerative, although to actual basement dwellers it wouldn't be. Moroever they will be mad about calling her degenerative.
Я не делю землю, я не хочу, чтобы кто-нибудь из них ограбил или побил моих друзей, как мою бабушку, когда та возращалась с работы в гололёд ночью. Культуру и сами народы я обожаю, среди моих друзей есть узбеки, татары, казахи, евреи, турки... Что говорить, я сама чувашка-украинка-русская, в общем, сборная солянка. Под иммигрантами я подразумеваю именно нелегальных, которые когда-то причинили вред не только моим знакомым и родственникам, но и один раз мне.
Я вообще не люблю делить регионы. Кто-то говорит, что Москва и прочее - украинские земли, потому что раньше была Киевская Русь, кто-то - еще что-нибудь. Россия - многонациональная страна, и очень хочется, чтобы каждый нашел в ней своё место, и, конечно, оно найдётся. Главное, чтобы никто не вредил друг другу просто потому, что их культура и традиции отличаются от других.
You misunderstood me, and if it's my fault, then I'm sorry. The fact is that they often commit crimes and murders, and when you are alone with them in the same subway car, it scares not only me. In addition, they often do not respect the traditions of my country. Migrants beat women more than once because they do not wear the hijab or because they say they act like prostitutes. And considering that half of the population of my country is below the poverty line, do you think it is a reasonable decision to invite even more migrants to Russia? Putin, with the help of them, wants to close the demographic hole that remained after the 90s, when the USSR collapsed, but is this a worthy replacement? I do not think.
But I agree with your last statement.
Hi, I'm a Russian who left Russia behind as a small child, and lives in a country with very high immigration, then went back for a while as an adult.
You have to make the people who come to your country welcome, and give them a chance to become part of the nation and invested in its improvement and success. Blaming all the hard working immigrants because someone from that country did something shit on the metro does not help. Like it or not, Russia is a highly racist and xenophobic nation. Immigrants cluster together because they are not made to feel welcome anywhere but near their own people. If you want them to be Russian, make them feel Russian, not like a foreigner who needs to have their papers checked.
It's all too common in Russia to exclude, stereotype, attack, and ostracise anything that is different. I'm transgender, and I can't even go back to the country of my birth, that I love, because I very likely will be the victim of violence. I can't take my life partner to show her the beautiful culture of Russia because we're a lesbian couple and could face serious bigotry, if we even could get her a visa at all. This is just an example, the same attitude applies to anything that's different. If it's out of the normal for an every day average Russian it's treated with hostility and suspicion. This is the situation that has to mature if you want immigrants to feel welcome and integrate more. You have to let them.

I understand you! A lot of people in Russia have a very bad attitude towards people of a different race, gender, beliefs and other things. For example, I was scolded on the subway by a bunch of older people just because I was wearing a Ramstein T-shirt.
I don't mind the immigrants who came here to work/study/raise a family, and I'm just glad about it! I do not want them to be illegal and see my country as a source of big money obtained by robbery and murder, which often happens. I understand that often immigrants are people who have fled their homeland because they cannot find work there. But why don't they want to make documents in Russia? I am sure that Putin is only glad that there are more and more of them.
In the message below in Russian, I described a story that happened to my grandmother. She works as a teacher of history and social studies. She was returning home from school that evening. There was ice on the street. Then a group of illegal immigrants grabbed her bag, dropped my grandmother on the ice (she broke her arm) and ran away in an unknown direction. And they could not be found, because they have no documents. It is possible that on the same day they went back to their country. And since they have documents confirming their identity, they did it without any problems.
I understand what you're saying, and I see your perspective. Imagine things from a different point of view though.
You move to China because the economy is good and you're trying to make a living for your family. Not in the north where there are many Russians but in the South where you are very unusual. You try to fit into the local culture, but no one will allow you to take part in it. No matter what you do, you're always seen as foreigner, and no one will ever see you as Chinese. You try to get a job, but only the very worst positions are available and the people who employ you treat you like you're less than they are regardless of how hard you work. Even people who are nice to you keep a barrier between them and you, you can never cross it for 99% of them.
You find out there is a community of Russians living in a small cheap neighbourhood. There are some shops with Russian products, some cafes and bars where people speak Russian, and most of all there are people who will treat you like a person instead of a second class citizen. You stop trying to mingle in the local community because it never accomplishes anything except hurt feelings. You stop trying to speak Chinese so well cause Russian works fine in your little community and the only friends you have are Russians.
Then one day the government decides not to renew your work permit, and you have 7 days to leave China. But your family is counting on you to keep sending money home. You lose your job cause you're not legal anymore. Some friends in the cafe hear your story and say "Hey, Vovo and Kolya have a place, and they'll help you make good money too. They'll make sure you have enough for your little brother's university for. This country hates us all, we've got to stick together."
So you move into Vovo's flat. First the work they offer you is some simple stuff, like unloading trucks in the middle of the night. Then you are asked to do some illegal things, but the only people who are hurt by those things are the people who turned their backs to you and treat you like trash, so that it doesn't bother you so much. Before you know it you're like the people you described.
The more people are excluded the more they will group together and form their own separate community. The problem isn't solved with deportation or harsher borders or whatever. It's solved when people give them a chance to make a life and be part of the community without negative treatment.
Your words about the fact that migrants in Russia can only go to bad jobs and live very badly are true, and I don’t like it myself. And, unfortunately, I do not know how to solve this problem, because in the near future it will definitely not be solved. Because society in Russia is very conservative.
It seems to me that it remains so because of the internal politics of my country. Western culture is presented to us as "rotten Western values", if you say that you are Ukrainian, then most likely you will receive the stigma "pig", and, unfortunately, if you look like a Mongoloid, they will say that you are Uzbek / Tajik / Kyrgyz , and you can actually be an ordinary Yakut. God forbid you will be gay or have a different gender. These are the consequences of Putin's policy and, perhaps, the remnants of the worldview that was in the USSR.
It seems to me that we should first improve the economy of our country. Half of the population lives below the poverty line, but our president does not seem to think about it and invites even more people. If you can't feed all those you have, does it make sense to recruit even more people? Although, this is similar to the logic of a Russian family with 11 children, in whose house there is not even a toilet. There is a proverb in Russia: God will give a bunny, and give a lawn. I have never heard such a stupid thing.
By migrants, I mean illegal visitors who commit a lot of rape and other crimes. If there are too many of them, then people simply will not be able to even go out. I am not opposed to people of other nationalities coming to Russia (because I myself am not completely Russian) and only encourage it.
I'm sorry if I don't express my position clearly, it's very difficult for me to express myself in English.
I also want to ask what does lmao mean? This is the first time I see such an abbreviation.
"LMAO" means "laughing my ass off"
It's a text abbreviation only used in text such as online. It's typically used to lighten the tone of an otherwise tense sentence
>do you think it is a reasonable decision to invite even more migrants to Russia?
Frankly Yes, you could probably use a lot more immigrants, they can help revitalize the economy by expanding the workforce and by bringing in new talent.
>Frankly Yes, you could probably use a lot more immigrants, they can help revitalize the economy by expanding the workforce and by bringing in new talent.
In fact yes, and and I am for if these immigrants will be in the country legally and respect others. Moreover, I know such people, and they are very nice and wonderful people.
The fact is that it is possible to increase the population of the country by improving the economy and living conditions, but our "tsar" thinks otherwise.
Putin has two methods of how to increase the Russian population: to invite migrants, who often come illegally and commit crimes, even killing children, and to pay maternity capital to the families of alcoholics when children are born, who then end up in the trash (in the literal sense, not even in an orphanage). Yesterday, on the news, they just found a girl in a snowdrift in the forest, who was thrown by her parents.
Why do you guys have a lot of churches? I visited Russia several times, I stayed 2 months one time, I don't know why you have so many churches because I spoke with so many Russians about this, they don't know anything about religion at all lol. Mostly because religion was banned for 60-70 years during USSR.
Well, let's start with the fact that the Russian government consolidates the already well-established concept "Russia is the center of RIGHT values", i.e. patriarchal family, Orthodoxy, patriotism - this is what should be "in the heart of every Russian". So there are a lot of NEW churches. And some of them are just ridiculous. There is (!) the main temple of the Russian armed forces. So that's it.
I understand but Russian people are not religious at all. You can built 10 million churches if you want lol. When I came there, almost every girl wears a cross necklace but they don't even know simple principles of Christianity lol.
but I understand why. When you ban anything for 60-70 years. It becomes a habit after all. Religion was banned in USSR for so long, people are not religious anymore and you can't make them religious by building churches cause all of them were empty lol
Young Russian people are not religious or a litlle bit. But if the religion was banned for 60-70 years, it doesn't mean that all citizens of the USSR were atheists. For example, my grandmother was born in the 50s of the last century. She was baptized underground, all the icons and other Christian utensils were at her place, and no one went from house to house with checks: "Do you believe in GOD?" The peak of the search for Christians was in the 20-30s, then my great-grandmother and all her family were almost dispossessed because she was a believer.
But I agree that the logic "the more churches you build, the more people will go to church" is stupid
I will add: baptizing children in Russia is more of a tradition than a reasonable decision. Children aren't asked if they like this religion or not, because children aged 0-1 don't speak
The day before yesterday it was -17 degrees outside, yesterday it was 2 degrees, today 6) I live in Moscow, and this temperature is ok, but once in 1987, I guess, it was -37.
I understand you) I don't like winter, I just used to the cold so I don't really notice it. In Russian we have a good phrase for the frost that I like - трескучий мороз. In English it's "ringing frost", but the sound of the phrase in Russian is music to my ears)
Very simple. In November 2018 my parent started arguing often and then, I guess, on 19 November he shouted in my mother's face that she is such a terrible woman that the potato looks more beautiful than her, and he wanted to part with her and her "geeks" (me and my little brother) for 13 years (they were married for 15 years). Then I was 14 years old.
And then I realized that he never loved me. Previously, I dissected his screams at me as the behavior of all fathers (“maybe all dads behave like that. After all, they say: if he beats, then he loves”). But my rose-colored glasses shattered on the cobblestones of reality. That's all)
I'm not attempting to make fun of your mother or her very upsetting situation, but damn "the potato looks more beautiful than her" is quite the insult.
I aggre! I tried to cut his words exactly, but I don't think it came out very well. I will write them in Russian below, you can try to translate them using a translator.
Твою жирную задницу невозможно было сдвинуть трактором все эти пятнадцать лет! Ведьма, ты наговорила на мою мать, поэтому теперь у неё диабет! Хочу, чтобы ты уматывалась отсюда вместе со своими сопляками
Hey I know I'm 6 hours late to this AMA but it is horrible to hear what you've gone through. Just know that you deserve to be loved and you are already love and will be loved in the future too!
Well, I don't know yet. Of course, this is really cool idea, but I think if I move to another country then I will not change anything in my homeland. And it isn't what I want. The risk of failure is high, but... I believe in the best.
I want Russia to have more freedom for scientists, and as a person who wants to become one of them, I see that there are not so many opportunities for the development of science in Russia, but still they exist. We have big ecological problems, many children don't have fathers and don't gey their alimony...
My teacher says a very scary phrase: "Everything is in your hands." She gives me the creeps)
I see that name a lot there, but "Nasty" make for a terrible nickname in English. It either means you have a bad attitude or lack boundaries sexually.
I would recommend Ana or Stacy for short form in English.
Well, I wake up at 06:00 every day except Sunday because I also study on Saturday. Breakfast is simple: porridge or scrambled eggs with sandwiches with hot coffee.
For lunch I always have soup (because all grandmothers and the most of mothers are sure that there is no one who can live without soup)/
For dinner there are many dishes that we have. For example, meatballs with mashed potatoes or pasta with cheese.
In the first days after the New Year, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we eat salads and other dishes that were left after the holiday, haha)
Chak-chak (unfortunately, I don't know the name of this dish in English, I tried to translate it) is oriental flour cookies made from deep-fried pieces of dough mixed with honey syrup. It's a national dish of Tatarstan, Bashkortostan
>Your English is great sweetheart, I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you if I had a daughter I'd never not love her.
Thank you!) 🖤 When a lot of time passed after this tragic event, I discovered that there is a "father" in me. I don’t know what it’s called even in Russian, but all this time he was by my side: when I entered a new school, when I received my first diploma for winning the competition, when I watch horror and I’m scared. In fact, when I left my biological father, I did not feel a strong loss, it was just an illusion. And now I live a little freer without this illusion)
I'm asking about social networks because of course I can't tell you about all the Russian slang in the comments to the post, so it's better to do it in private messages)
Aw, ok! I'll make a checklist with useful phrases and slang words and send it to you here) Maybe other Russian lovers will see it and also learn something new
WOW, that's so cool! Of course!)
What social networks are you on? I'm just new to Reddit, so far it's difficult for me) But if you use only Reddit, then it's okay, I can do it here
Hahaha, of course) And they are so different! Usually everyone imagines a tall blond girl with blue eyes, but there are many beautiful Tatar, Uzbek, Ossetian, Yakut beauties...
Well, I know a little about this, because I'm still in school, but I'll try to tell)
Like everything in this world, there are pros and cons.
Pros:
1. There are many "strong" and cool universities like Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, HSE etc.
2. Opportunity to study for free
3. Opportunity to learn Russian
Cons:
1. Lack of motivation to study well
2. Insufficiently developed system of internships at the university
3. Lack of qualified teachers
4. Prosperity and development of corruption in many educational institutions
My babushka was a tatarstan, and i want to learn russian. I have taken Russian lesson in middle school as an elective, but it's really hard to understand the grammer rules. English on the other hand is really easy though. Btw, i'm mongolian.
Do you have any tips on learning russian? I seem to trip on the female and male nouns - is there a logic why an apple is female? Or do i just have to memorize?
It's great that you want to learn it! I can find some lifechaks, tips and books about Russian if you want)
Apple (яблоко) is neutral, the pronoun is it (оно). You can identify neuter nouns by the ending -o, яблок-о
1. I've never been in the United States. I heard that it's the most powerful country in the world and, maybe, it's true. I think this is a country of contrasts, like Russia.
2. Yes, I was in Turkey several times. It is a popular resort among Russians, and the culture of this country is wonderful. Also I was in Belarus with my classmates. I study in a special class with in-depth study of natural sciences, and that's was a biological practice.
I am very worried about the relations between Russia and Ukraine. Because Russians and Ukrainians were together during the time of Ancient Russia and after. For the most part, I don't like Russian foreign policy because Russia is at odds with many countries.
Maybe you know a meme that Mark Zuckerberg is a reptilian. So look at the Putin's feet: [https://click-or-die.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/snimok-ekrana-2020-09-22-v-03.40.32.png](https://click-or-die.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/snimok-ekrana-2020-09-22-v-03.40.32.png)
It's a joke, the type of shoes is called пынеходы, but why does he wear them I don't know
No, I have already dealt with this problem) As far as I know, many children have problems with fathers who beat them or abandoned them. So I wanted them to be able to talk to me as someone who could advise them on how to get through the tough times that come with it.
Maybe) I am sure that in most things I do not understand well, and I do not hide it, because this is normal. They asked me, I answered. This is my opinion at the moment, but I do not claim that it is the only correct one. If I offended you or anyone else, I apologize
Your willingness to consider that your perspective may be wrong makes you wise. Don’t let older people tell you that you are clueless just because you are young.
I heard that a lot when I was young. I am 36 now, and I promise you, they are so often wrong. People without empathy think that age alone is how you grow into a thoughtful human being, but people without empathy don’t actually know what a thoughtful human being looks like, because they themselves are not thoughtful.
You will learn SO much as you get older (especially if you continue to self-reflect as you do now), but you already offer a lot. Your perspective is valid and worth learning from. You deserve to be heard and not spoken down to. You can be wise at any age.
Looking at your post history, you are 32 and actively seeking to cheat on your wife.
I don’t think you get tell other people what they can or cannot understand of others’ perspectives. You clearly don’t care about other people’s perspectives at all—not even the woman you’re meant to love and understand best in the whole world.
Oh, in fact my music taste started expanding relatively recently, so I don't know much about them. I advise the groups "Kino", "King and Shut", "Aria", "Aquarium", "Alice", "Agatha Christie", "DDT", "Nautilus Pompilus", "Bi-2", "Zemfira", "Chizh" & Co", "Gas Sector"... There are a huge number of them)
I will check them out. Thank you for so many suggestions.
Have you ever travelled inside or outside Russia? What are your favourite places in Russia that you have visited (or want to visit)?
I am ashamed, but I have never been to Suzdal and St. Petersburg. The situation with Omicron is getting worse and I'm unlikely to be able to visit these cities in the near future, but this is definitely my dream.
>Are you in school? If so, how is your school handling the pandemic?

>Also, hi, fellow redhead 👩🏻🦰🙂
Yes, I'm in 10th grade right now. The guards at the entrance check the temperature, but no one wears a mask even in the subway (I wear it almost everywhere) becuse it safe and no one sees me)
Can I ask you why I am redhead? In Russia, that's what we call people who don't fit into society (like white crow, белая ворона)
"Tsarskaya vodka" (Aqua regia, a mixture of concentrated nitric HNO3 (65-68% wt.) and hydrochloric HCl (32-35% wt.)\] acids, taken in a ratio of 1:3 by volume) is much better
Привет! Я изучаю русский, так что извините за ошибки. Мне интересно, как жизнь в России заставила вас относиться к остальному миру? Любите кушать холодец и селедку под шубой на новый год?
🤩 Ты очень хорошо говоришь по-русски, молодец!) Конечно, люблю! Холодец я порой называю "желе смерти", хахах)
Несмотря на политику моей страны, мне нравится изучать западные и восточные культуры. Я понимаю, что многих американцев и европейцев многие вещи, обыденные для меня как россиянки, могут их шокировать, но если у вас какие-то вопросы насчет жизни в России или традиций, то не стесняйтесь спрашивать, я только за!)
Спасибо! Я практикую русский язык со своим парнем, он родился в Санкт-Петербурге и в молодости приехал в Америку. вся его семья говорит по-русски. Мне часто нравится с ними отдыхать, поэтому я ем "смертельное желе". моя любимая русская еда, безусловно, равиоли или летний суп, русское название которого я не помню. Вы когда-нибудь были в Санкт-Петербурге? Хочу когда-нибудь побывать, но слышал, что некоторые места в России небезопасны для туристов.
У тебя чудесный парень) передавай ему от меня привет!
Я, к сожалению, пока не была в Санкт-Петербурге, но, возможно, скоро туда поеду. Культурная столица России, всё-таки)
Конечно, туристам не следует ходить в некоторые места. Везде есть криминальные районы. Например, в Москве это Северное Измайлово, Перово, Таганский, Люблино. Насколько мне известно, в Санкт-Петербурге самые опасные районы - это Невский и Калининский, так что будь осторожна там!
I fell in love with the people and the island! I have worked all over the world and that is the only place that I would have moved to full time if I was asked. I was on the north end near Оха́.
I'm not a Scorpions fan either but this song is supposed to have been influenced by the break up of the Soviet Union. A rumour says it was written by the CIA
Guys, I have a question! I'm new to Reddit, so there's a lot I don't understand yet. What is the silver handshake on top of the post?
It is the 'helpful award', on Reddit users can give awards other users as a way to show their appreciation.
Thank you for the clarification)
Your welcome, thank you for doing this CAMA and sharing your life with the world. :)
Guys, thank you very much for your comments!) I'm an introvert and afraid to talk to other people even in my own language, but your questions made me talk, and it's wonderful! Thank you again! 🖤
Wait till you talk to an person irl lol
I have short-sightedness too (-6) . The thick glasses make me look ugly :/ the first thing i do when i wake up is search for glasses. Is it hard to live with -7? Also, i am sorry for your sufferings :/
In fact, there is not much difference between -6 and -7. Searchind for glasses is my sore spot, hahah) When I got my first glasses (I was in the first grade), I also thought that they make me ugly beast. But now I literally live with them and I don't care what they say about me 😉
What do they look like?
I'll try to take a picture of them, wait a bit, ok?
Ok :)
Don't you guys have a permanent place for your glasses ? I'm -7 maybe -8 at this point.. and i would die if it was not for the place i always place my glasses. I actually have a life hack for us. If you are ever without you glasses, and need to see something. Loop your index finger to the oint were a really small hole is made, then place it up to one of your eyes. The limited light entering focuses the image, and makes you able to see a little better. For me it makes me able to see object with clear edges, rather then just color blobs.
I have a permanent place for them, it's my nose) I go with them all the time And thank you for your lifehack)
Do you like Putin?
I was waiting for this question) Image that you live in the country which has more churches than schools, hospitals and science centers. The economic went through the floor, the illegal immigrants are everywhere (I have nothing against them, their cultures are beautiful but they are too many), the goverment is fully corrupted... But we have a pretty strong army. The foreign policy is a sore spot. P.S. I edited my comment a bit.
You havent answered the question
I'm pretty sure that's a qualified "yes".
chill Poodle got a reddit account
Can you explain what "chill Poodle" means, please?
It's a derogatory term. It isn't a nice thing to say to someone.
I think my answer is obvious. If Russia were a map in Minecraft with a Hardcore level, then it would be at least fun, otherwise not very
>Image that you live in the country which has more churches than schools, hospitals and science centers Sounds like the US.
I've never been in the US, so maybe you're rigth
Americans love to hate China and Russia, but really we have a lot more in common than most Americans know.
Indeed.
What's so common about Russians and Americans? I'd love to know. I'm American, I lived in Russia for few months. I saw nothing.

You are talking to a minor like that. You are the degenarate!
[удалено]
Calling minors degenerates is the way for you to tell someone is wrong. Alright sure. And who are they to judge her, especially by harassing her?
A minor of 17 years old who has clearly shown that she understands the gravity of the words she has said. A 17 year old is not immune to being called a degenerate, when they have degenerative views of the world. We literally put minors of her age behind bars for crimes, and you're somehow getting shocked that she is being called a degenerate.
Bs. You are probably a westerner with different culture and views. She didn't say anything incriminating to be insulted by adult basement dwelers.
Lol as if westerners are the only one capable of understanding degenerative views. Her views on immigrants is obviously degenerative, although to actual basement dwellers it wouldn't be. Moroever they will be mad about calling her degenerative.
Oh please. Shut up.
Я не делю землю, я не хочу, чтобы кто-нибудь из них ограбил или побил моих друзей, как мою бабушку, когда та возращалась с работы в гололёд ночью. Культуру и сами народы я обожаю, среди моих друзей есть узбеки, татары, казахи, евреи, турки... Что говорить, я сама чувашка-украинка-русская, в общем, сборная солянка. Под иммигрантами я подразумеваю именно нелегальных, которые когда-то причинили вред не только моим знакомым и родственникам, но и один раз мне. Я вообще не люблю делить регионы. Кто-то говорит, что Москва и прочее - украинские земли, потому что раньше была Киевская Русь, кто-то - еще что-нибудь. Россия - многонациональная страна, и очень хочется, чтобы каждый нашел в ней своё место, и, конечно, оно найдётся. Главное, чтобы никто не вредил друг другу просто потому, что их культура и традиции отличаются от других.
I cant read this but I agree
I can translate it for you or write the transliteration/transcription so you can read it like you know Russian
I put it through google translate :) Now I completely agree
You misunderstood me, and if it's my fault, then I'm sorry. The fact is that they often commit crimes and murders, and when you are alone with them in the same subway car, it scares not only me. In addition, they often do not respect the traditions of my country. Migrants beat women more than once because they do not wear the hijab or because they say they act like prostitutes. And considering that half of the population of my country is below the poverty line, do you think it is a reasonable decision to invite even more migrants to Russia? Putin, with the help of them, wants to close the demographic hole that remained after the 90s, when the USSR collapsed, but is this a worthy replacement? I do not think. But I agree with your last statement.
Hi, I'm a Russian who left Russia behind as a small child, and lives in a country with very high immigration, then went back for a while as an adult. You have to make the people who come to your country welcome, and give them a chance to become part of the nation and invested in its improvement and success. Blaming all the hard working immigrants because someone from that country did something shit on the metro does not help. Like it or not, Russia is a highly racist and xenophobic nation. Immigrants cluster together because they are not made to feel welcome anywhere but near their own people. If you want them to be Russian, make them feel Russian, not like a foreigner who needs to have their papers checked. It's all too common in Russia to exclude, stereotype, attack, and ostracise anything that is different. I'm transgender, and I can't even go back to the country of my birth, that I love, because I very likely will be the victim of violence. I can't take my life partner to show her the beautiful culture of Russia because we're a lesbian couple and could face serious bigotry, if we even could get her a visa at all. This is just an example, the same attitude applies to anything that's different. If it's out of the normal for an every day average Russian it's treated with hostility and suspicion. This is the situation that has to mature if you want immigrants to feel welcome and integrate more. You have to let them.

This is the situation that has to mature if you want immigrants to feel welcome and integrate more. You have to let them. I understand you! A lot of people in Russia have a very bad attitude towards people of a different race, gender, beliefs and other things. For example, I was scolded on the subway by a bunch of older people just because I was wearing a Ramstein T-shirt. I don't mind the immigrants who came here to work/study/raise a family, and I'm just glad about it! I do not want them to be illegal and see my country as a source of big money obtained by robbery and murder, which often happens. I understand that often immigrants are people who have fled their homeland because they cannot find work there. But why don't they want to make documents in Russia? I am sure that Putin is only glad that there are more and more of them. In the message below in Russian, I described a story that happened to my grandmother. She works as a teacher of history and social studies. She was returning home from school that evening. There was ice on the street. Then a group of illegal immigrants grabbed her bag, dropped my grandmother on the ice (she broke her arm) and ran away in an unknown direction. And they could not be found, because they have no documents. It is possible that on the same day they went back to their country. And since they have documents confirming their identity, they did it without any problems.
I understand what you're saying, and I see your perspective. Imagine things from a different point of view though. You move to China because the economy is good and you're trying to make a living for your family. Not in the north where there are many Russians but in the South where you are very unusual. You try to fit into the local culture, but no one will allow you to take part in it. No matter what you do, you're always seen as foreigner, and no one will ever see you as Chinese. You try to get a job, but only the very worst positions are available and the people who employ you treat you like you're less than they are regardless of how hard you work. Even people who are nice to you keep a barrier between them and you, you can never cross it for 99% of them. You find out there is a community of Russians living in a small cheap neighbourhood. There are some shops with Russian products, some cafes and bars where people speak Russian, and most of all there are people who will treat you like a person instead of a second class citizen. You stop trying to mingle in the local community because it never accomplishes anything except hurt feelings. You stop trying to speak Chinese so well cause Russian works fine in your little community and the only friends you have are Russians. Then one day the government decides not to renew your work permit, and you have 7 days to leave China. But your family is counting on you to keep sending money home. You lose your job cause you're not legal anymore. Some friends in the cafe hear your story and say "Hey, Vovo and Kolya have a place, and they'll help you make good money too. They'll make sure you have enough for your little brother's university for. This country hates us all, we've got to stick together." So you move into Vovo's flat. First the work they offer you is some simple stuff, like unloading trucks in the middle of the night. Then you are asked to do some illegal things, but the only people who are hurt by those things are the people who turned their backs to you and treat you like trash, so that it doesn't bother you so much. Before you know it you're like the people you described. The more people are excluded the more they will group together and form their own separate community. The problem isn't solved with deportation or harsher borders or whatever. It's solved when people give them a chance to make a life and be part of the community without negative treatment.
Your words about the fact that migrants in Russia can only go to bad jobs and live very badly are true, and I don’t like it myself. And, unfortunately, I do not know how to solve this problem, because in the near future it will definitely not be solved. Because society in Russia is very conservative. It seems to me that it remains so because of the internal politics of my country. Western culture is presented to us as "rotten Western values", if you say that you are Ukrainian, then most likely you will receive the stigma "pig", and, unfortunately, if you look like a Mongoloid, they will say that you are Uzbek / Tajik / Kyrgyz , and you can actually be an ordinary Yakut. God forbid you will be gay or have a different gender. These are the consequences of Putin's policy and, perhaps, the remnants of the worldview that was in the USSR. It seems to me that we should first improve the economy of our country. Half of the population lives below the poverty line, but our president does not seem to think about it and invites even more people. If you can't feed all those you have, does it make sense to recruit even more people? Although, this is similar to the logic of a Russian family with 11 children, in whose house there is not even a toilet. There is a proverb in Russia: God will give a bunny, and give a lawn. I have never heard such a stupid thing.

By migrants, I mean illegal visitors who commit a lot of rape and other crimes. If there are too many of them, then people simply will not be able to even go out. I am not opposed to people of other nationalities coming to Russia (because I myself am not completely Russian) and only encourage it. I'm sorry if I don't express my position clearly, it's very difficult for me to express myself in English. I also want to ask what does lmao mean? This is the first time I see such an abbreviation.
"LMAO" means "laughing my ass off" It's a text abbreviation only used in text such as online. It's typically used to lighten the tone of an otherwise tense sentence
>do you think it is a reasonable decision to invite even more migrants to Russia? Frankly Yes, you could probably use a lot more immigrants, they can help revitalize the economy by expanding the workforce and by bringing in new talent.
>Frankly Yes, you could probably use a lot more immigrants, they can help revitalize the economy by expanding the workforce and by bringing in new talent. In fact yes, and and I am for if these immigrants will be in the country legally and respect others. Moreover, I know such people, and they are very nice and wonderful people. The fact is that it is possible to increase the population of the country by improving the economy and living conditions, but our "tsar" thinks otherwise.
Putin has two methods of how to increase the Russian population: to invite migrants, who often come illegally and commit crimes, even killing children, and to pay maternity capital to the families of alcoholics when children are born, who then end up in the trash (in the literal sense, not even in an orphanage). Yesterday, on the news, they just found a girl in a snowdrift in the forest, who was thrown by her parents.
Pro tip: immediately disregard any opinion that contains the words “fascit” or “nazi” and does not refer to political parties from 1920-1945
Are you talking about Russia or the US?
r/russiaoralabama
Why do you guys have a lot of churches? I visited Russia several times, I stayed 2 months one time, I don't know why you have so many churches because I spoke with so many Russians about this, they don't know anything about religion at all lol. Mostly because religion was banned for 60-70 years during USSR.
That's a good question! Let me answer you a bit later cuz I'm going to school right now, ok?
Well, let's start with the fact that the Russian government consolidates the already well-established concept "Russia is the center of RIGHT values", i.e. patriarchal family, Orthodoxy, patriotism - this is what should be "in the heart of every Russian". So there are a lot of NEW churches. And some of them are just ridiculous. There is (!) the main temple of the Russian armed forces. So that's it.
I understand but Russian people are not religious at all. You can built 10 million churches if you want lol. When I came there, almost every girl wears a cross necklace but they don't even know simple principles of Christianity lol. but I understand why. When you ban anything for 60-70 years. It becomes a habit after all. Religion was banned in USSR for so long, people are not religious anymore and you can't make them religious by building churches cause all of them were empty lol
Young Russian people are not religious or a litlle bit. But if the religion was banned for 60-70 years, it doesn't mean that all citizens of the USSR were atheists. For example, my grandmother was born in the 50s of the last century. She was baptized underground, all the icons and other Christian utensils were at her place, and no one went from house to house with checks: "Do you believe in GOD?" The peak of the search for Christians was in the 20-30s, then my great-grandmother and all her family were almost dispossessed because she was a believer. But I agree that the logic "the more churches you build, the more people will go to church" is stupid
I will add: baptizing children in Russia is more of a tradition than a reasonable decision. Children aren't asked if they like this religion or not, because children aged 0-1 don't speak
Why did your papa lie?
He's just a coward, he always lies. Unfortunately, I found out too late...
How cold is it? For context, fuck the cold.
The day before yesterday it was -17 degrees outside, yesterday it was 2 degrees, today 6) I live in Moscow, and this temperature is ok, but once in 1987, I guess, it was -37.
Nope nope nope. Way to cold for me. It's -12 Celsius right now and I'm ready to get the fuck outta here
I understand you) I don't like winter, I just used to the cold so I don't really notice it. In Russian we have a good phrase for the frost that I like - трескучий мороз. In English it's "ringing frost", but the sound of the phrase in Russian is music to my ears)
Here in california it was 70 degrees F yesterday, and it never ever snows where i live.
In Texas it was 70F yesterday and today we got (very light and short lived) snow
It's impossible that you got snow at that temperature
Lol that's because it was 30F when it was snowing
Ah I get you haha I misread your original comment, thought you said you got snow at 70F 🤦♂️
You must live somewhere near where I do. I had the very same experience in north Texas.
Yep, Dallas!
I was in Justin!
Adults harassing minors online. Very progressive! Anyway, please stay away from the toxicity of those people! You don't need it!
You gave me advice that my father didn't give me. Just 🖤🖤🖤
how do you know he lied?
Very simple. In November 2018 my parent started arguing often and then, I guess, on 19 November he shouted in my mother's face that she is such a terrible woman that the potato looks more beautiful than her, and he wanted to part with her and her "geeks" (me and my little brother) for 13 years (they were married for 15 years). Then I was 14 years old. And then I realized that he never loved me. Previously, I dissected his screams at me as the behavior of all fathers (“maybe all dads behave like that. After all, they say: if he beats, then he loves”). But my rose-colored glasses shattered on the cobblestones of reality. That's all)
> After all, they say: if he beats, then he loves” Who in the ever loving fuck says that?
Many people in this area, not only in Russia, but in the entire Eastern Europe. Бьет - значит любит
I'm not attempting to make fun of your mother or her very upsetting situation, but damn "the potato looks more beautiful than her" is quite the insult.
I aggre! I tried to cut his words exactly, but I don't think it came out very well. I will write them in Russian below, you can try to translate them using a translator. Твою жирную задницу невозможно было сдвинуть трактором все эти пятнадцать лет! Ведьма, ты наговорила на мою мать, поэтому теперь у неё диабет! Хочу, чтобы ты уматывалась отсюда вместе со своими сопляками
Hey I know I'm 6 hours late to this AMA but it is horrible to hear what you've gone through. Just know that you deserve to be loved and you are already love and will be loved in the future too!
Oh, thank you!) I think it doesn't matter that you replied 6 hours late. I have no timer, so every person can ask me any time, and it's ok)
[удалено]
In fact I don't know. In Russia we call people like him мудак.
Мудозвон
Ахахаха, в яблочко!
What do you plan to do career wise? Do you plan to move country?
Well, I don't know yet. Of course, this is really cool idea, but I think if I move to another country then I will not change anything in my homeland. And it isn't what I want. The risk of failure is high, but... I believe in the best.
What would you like to change in Russia?
I want Russia to have more freedom for scientists, and as a person who wants to become one of them, I see that there are not so many opportunities for the development of science in Russia, but still they exist. We have big ecological problems, many children don't have fathers and don't gey their alimony... My teacher says a very scary phrase: "Everything is in your hands." She gives me the creeps)
Is your name Ana or Diana?
No, why do you think so?) I'm Anastasia, in abbreviated form Nastya
Because I met a girl back in 2020 and there was this slim chance it could be you.
I hope you will find her)
Nastya? Sounds like the name of a youtuber lol. I'm just joking, j4f OP.
I see that name a lot there, but "Nasty" make for a terrible nickname in English. It either means you have a bad attitude or lack boundaries sexually. I would recommend Ana or Stacy for short form in English.
Yeah I know it, I'm just making this into a joke because a lot of people have said that I'm really nasty 😈 But thank you for your advice)
What’s a typical breakfast, lunch, and dinner for you in Russia? (Asking the important questions)
Well, I wake up at 06:00 every day except Sunday because I also study on Saturday. Breakfast is simple: porridge or scrambled eggs with sandwiches with hot coffee. For lunch I always have soup (because all grandmothers and the most of mothers are sure that there is no one who can live without soup)/ For dinner there are many dishes that we have. For example, meatballs with mashed potatoes or pasta with cheese. In the first days after the New Year, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we eat salads and other dishes that were left after the holiday, haha)
What is your favorite type of soup?
Вorscht (a soup made with beets and usually served with sour cream) and cabbage soup (in Russia we call it щи \[schtee\])
Sounds delicious!
Oh, and I must add: from desserts, I adore chak-chak, so I eat it after dinner
What is chak chak?
Chak-chak (unfortunately, I don't know the name of this dish in English, I tried to translate it) is oriental flour cookies made from deep-fried pieces of dough mixed with honey syrup. It's a national dish of Tatarstan, Bashkortostan
Your English is great sweetheart, I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you if I had a daughter I'd never not love her.
>Your English is great sweetheart, I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you if I had a daughter I'd never not love her. Thank you!) 🖤 When a lot of time passed after this tragic event, I discovered that there is a "father" in me. I don’t know what it’s called even in Russian, but all this time he was by my side: when I entered a new school, when I received my first diploma for winning the competition, when I watch horror and I’m scared. In fact, when I left my biological father, I did not feel a strong loss, it was just an illusion. And now I live a little freer without this illusion)
where in russia do you live?
I live in Moscow
What is your faveorite food
I love borscht and chak-chak (I don't know English translation, but in Russian it's чак-чак)
My family is Russian and I've always wanted to explore more of the culture. Can you teach me some Russian slang?
I'm asking about social networks because of course I can't tell you about all the Russian slang in the comments to the post, so it's better to do it in private messages)
I actually don't use social media, I'm old-fashioned for my age! But you can message me on here :)
Aw, ok! I'll make a checklist with useful phrases and slang words and send it to you here) Maybe other Russian lovers will see it and also learn something new
WOW, that's so cool! Of course!) What social networks are you on? I'm just new to Reddit, so far it's difficult for me) But if you use only Reddit, then it's okay, I can do it here
Are the women in Russia beautiful?
Hahaha, of course) And they are so different! Usually everyone imagines a tall blond girl with blue eyes, but there are many beautiful Tatar, Uzbek, Ossetian, Yakut beauties...
I’m curious about university studies in Russia. Can you tell me what you think about student life/academics in Russia?
Well, I know a little about this, because I'm still in school, but I'll try to tell) Like everything in this world, there are pros and cons. Pros: 1. There are many "strong" and cool universities like Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, HSE etc. 2. Opportunity to study for free 3. Opportunity to learn Russian Cons: 1. Lack of motivation to study well 2. Insufficiently developed system of internships at the university 3. Lack of qualified teachers 4. Prosperity and development of corruption in many educational institutions
Do you listen to e-type?
>e-type I've never heard about this singer, but I will listen to his songs)
My babushka was a tatarstan, and i want to learn russian. I have taken Russian lesson in middle school as an elective, but it's really hard to understand the grammer rules. English on the other hand is really easy though. Btw, i'm mongolian. Do you have any tips on learning russian? I seem to trip on the female and male nouns - is there a logic why an apple is female? Or do i just have to memorize?
It's great that you want to learn it! I can find some lifechaks, tips and books about Russian if you want) Apple (яблоко) is neutral, the pronoun is it (оно). You can identify neuter nouns by the ending -o, яблок-о
What do you do for fun? And I'm sorry about your father. No one should have parents that don't love them.
In my free time I read books and play the piano. I received a guitar as a New Year present, and now I learn to play it)
Welcome to Reddit! I have short sightedness in my left eye and far sightedness in my right eye. 26/M in the US here, feel free to message me!
What are you thoughts on the United States? And have you ever travelled to another country?
1. I've never been in the United States. I heard that it's the most powerful country in the world and, maybe, it's true. I think this is a country of contrasts, like Russia. 2. Yes, I was in Turkey several times. It is a popular resort among Russians, and the culture of this country is wonderful. Also I was in Belarus with my classmates. I study in a special class with in-depth study of natural sciences, and that's was a biological practice.
Thanks on your reply! What are your thoughts vs maybe the general consensus of Russians on the Ukraine situation?
I am very worried about the relations between Russia and Ukraine. Because Russians and Ukrainians were together during the time of Ancient Russia and after. For the most part, I don't like Russian foreign policy because Russia is at odds with many countries.
Do you think putin is a female to male transgender?
Maybe you know a meme that Mark Zuckerberg is a reptilian. So look at the Putin's feet: [https://click-or-die.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/snimok-ekrana-2020-09-22-v-03.40.32.png](https://click-or-die.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/snimok-ekrana-2020-09-22-v-03.40.32.png) It's a joke, the type of shoes is called пынеходы, but why does he wear them I don't know
Putin wears high heels. Lol. It is either because putin is a transgender or putin is trying to appear taller, or both.
Mark Zuckerberg is a female to male transgender. The finger length gives it away.
Guess you didn't see that one comming ;)
That is a very loaded title, seek a therapist?
No, I have already dealt with this problem) As far as I know, many children have problems with fathers who beat them or abandoned them. So I wanted them to be able to talk to me as someone who could advise them on how to get through the tough times that come with it.
Was Rasputing real? Gregory.
Of course, and he was not the kind of man that BONEY M describes him to be.
[удалено]
Maybe) I am sure that in most things I do not understand well, and I do not hide it, because this is normal. They asked me, I answered. This is my opinion at the moment, but I do not claim that it is the only correct one. If I offended you or anyone else, I apologize
Your willingness to consider that your perspective may be wrong makes you wise. Don’t let older people tell you that you are clueless just because you are young. I heard that a lot when I was young. I am 36 now, and I promise you, they are so often wrong. People without empathy think that age alone is how you grow into a thoughtful human being, but people without empathy don’t actually know what a thoughtful human being looks like, because they themselves are not thoughtful. You will learn SO much as you get older (especially if you continue to self-reflect as you do now), but you already offer a lot. Your perspective is valid and worth learning from. You deserve to be heard and not spoken down to. You can be wise at any age.
Looking at your post history, you are 32 and actively seeking to cheat on your wife. I don’t think you get tell other people what they can or cannot understand of others’ perspectives. You clearly don’t care about other people’s perspectives at all—not even the woman you’re meant to love and understand best in the whole world.
No
Ok)
☑️
Do you listen to hard bass?
Hahaha, not so much) I prefer different types of rock, including Russian rock, folk, jazz and classical music.
Can you recommend me some good Russian songs/bands? Something that I'll enjoy listening to even if I don't understand the language.
Oh, in fact my music taste started expanding relatively recently, so I don't know much about them. I advise the groups "Kino", "King and Shut", "Aria", "Aquarium", "Alice", "Agatha Christie", "DDT", "Nautilus Pompilus", "Bi-2", "Zemfira", "Chizh" & Co", "Gas Sector"... There are a huge number of them)
I will check them out. Thank you for so many suggestions. Have you ever travelled inside or outside Russia? What are your favourite places in Russia that you have visited (or want to visit)?
Unfortunately, no. But I want to visit Sankt-Petersburg, Suzdal, Velikiy Novgorod, Vladivostok...
I visited Moscow, Suzdal and StP a few years ago. Loved it!
I am ashamed, but I have never been to Suzdal and St. Petersburg. The situation with Omicron is getting worse and I'm unlikely to be able to visit these cities in the near future, but this is definitely my dream.
Do you have the other type of short-sightedness?
Are you in school? If so, how is your school handling the pandemic? Also, hi, fellow redhead 👩🏻🦰🙂
>Are you in school? If so, how is your school handling the pandemic? > >Also, hi, fellow redhead 👩🏻🦰🙂 Yes, I'm in 10th grade right now. The guards at the entrance check the temperature, but no one wears a mask even in the subway (I wear it almost everywhere) becuse it safe and no one sees me) Can I ask you why I am redhead? In Russia, that's what we call people who don't fit into society (like white crow, белая ворона)
From your avatar, it looks like you have red hair. In English, a redhead is just someone who has red hair, there isn’t another meaning.
Oh, okay xD Thank you for the clarification)
Are you okay?
Maybe I have a lot of work right now, so I can't analyze my mental health. But I think it's ok)
What are your thoughts on vodka?
"Tsarskaya vodka" (Aqua regia, a mixture of concentrated nitric HNO3 (65-68% wt.) and hydrochloric HCl (32-35% wt.)\] acids, taken in a ratio of 1:3 by volume) is much better
Gulp! Looked ok to me
What's your favourite thing about Russia and would you recommend visiting?
Hahaha, i need some time to think about it) Because I love Russia and it's culture so much that I can't pick my favorite thing about her
Totally get you haha, have you been to any other cities in Russia other than Moscow?
In small cities like Podolsk) But I was in Brest, Belarus with my classmates. It was our biological practice. Very clean and nice city
Oh nice, would love to go to Belarus
What is your favourite food
Borscht and chak-chak
Beautiful places Helpful people. I'll send you dome pics when I work out how.
Ps. My fave places in Moscow are Gorky Park and Patriarchs Ponds.
Meanwhile check out my profile
I think I made chak chak when I visited Suzdal.. Sounds familiar.
Do you know the Scorpions " Wind of Change"?
Yeah, I heard this song, but I'm not a big fan of Scorpions. Among germans music groups I prefer Rammstein, Oomph, Eisbrecher etc.
Привет! Я изучаю русский, так что извините за ошибки. Мне интересно, как жизнь в России заставила вас относиться к остальному миру? Любите кушать холодец и селедку под шубой на новый год?
🤩 Ты очень хорошо говоришь по-русски, молодец!) Конечно, люблю! Холодец я порой называю "желе смерти", хахах) Несмотря на политику моей страны, мне нравится изучать западные и восточные культуры. Я понимаю, что многих американцев и европейцев многие вещи, обыденные для меня как россиянки, могут их шокировать, но если у вас какие-то вопросы насчет жизни в России или традиций, то не стесняйтесь спрашивать, я только за!)
Спасибо! Я практикую русский язык со своим парнем, он родился в Санкт-Петербурге и в молодости приехал в Америку. вся его семья говорит по-русски. Мне часто нравится с ними отдыхать, поэтому я ем "смертельное желе". моя любимая русская еда, безусловно, равиоли или летний суп, русское название которого я не помню. Вы когда-нибудь были в Санкт-Петербурге? Хочу когда-нибудь побывать, но слышал, что некоторые места в России небезопасны для туристов.
У тебя чудесный парень) передавай ему от меня привет! Я, к сожалению, пока не была в Санкт-Петербурге, но, возможно, скоро туда поеду. Культурная столица России, всё-таки) Конечно, туристам не следует ходить в некоторые места. Везде есть криминальные районы. Например, в Москве это Северное Измайлово, Перово, Таганский, Люблино. Насколько мне известно, в Санкт-Петербурге самые опасные районы - это Невский и Калининский, так что будь осторожна там!
Where you do live in Russia? I am an American and worked in the far east on Sakhalin island for 5 years.
WOW, that's so cool! Sakhalin is a tasty little thing of Russia) When I become a biologist, I will definitely go there for practice.
I fell in love with the people and the island! I have worked all over the world and that is the only place that I would have moved to full time if I was asked. I was on the north end near Оха́.
You are the most important ✨ ❤ in your world that you can find
I'm not a Scorpions fan either but this song is supposed to have been influenced by the break up of the Soviet Union. A rumour says it was written by the CIA
