I get so tired of hearing this "Russian soul" shit. or having Russians explain how they are just so much deeper intellectually than the rest of the world. You know what it means? you don't need to be Pushkin to understand it... in its practical application, it means you have a free license to bitch and complain to any fucking random stranger about every problem you've ever had in your life and problems you think you might have and problems you've made up just to feel like you have as many problems as the next guy.
asking someone "how are you" is something you learn early on not to do in Russia.
I lived in Russia for 10 years. I listened to enough complaining and bitching and did enough arguing to last 100 lifetimes.
Russians on the whole are depressing and negative. Life in Russia is hard for sure... but Russians make it totally unbearable.
The only thing more obnoxious than listening to a Russian bitch and complain about every fucking thing under the sun is listening to them give you advice about anything and everything, even when they have no clue what you OR they themselves are talking about.
Russian communities in the US are generally divided into two groups... Russians and Russians who think Russian are depressing, obnoxious idiots and won't associate with them.
