11:00 - Thin english humour, I understand. You're kidding, right? 12:10 - If you ever come to Russia, feel free :) It is just a steretype that there is no freedom of speech, or evil hooligans waiting you on the streets, when actually, we drink black tea just as you guys. 13:10 - True. New Year is more important here. Russia is big multicultural federation and not everyone celebrates christmas. Old New Year is also a thing. 15:00 - It's OK guys if you don't know about Pushkin. Not everyone likes poetry. His poems were about Russian government, very touching. Just like Lermontov. 15:10 - Where do you get these statistics? lol 15:17 - Really? Good looking? Do you mean all russian women are sluts? Or you try to insult the british women? Not every russian is good looking, just as english. People the same everywhere. Just because you can have sympathy for a russian girl, does not mean every girl in Russia is good looking. IMHO, I hate russian women, even though I am a russian. Every since my thirteens, my girl schoolmates was hanging out in the company of twenty-thirty year olds, and I was quite envy about it. Why do they always have this sort of attention? Always a free gifts and special treatment. But I guess I can be thankful for that. And the fact when they immigrate behind the border just to marry some unemployed fatass redneck Willy without even a toilet in his home - is just depressing to me.

8:45 - Hahaha! It's the worst russian pronounce I ever heard! And I was in Uzbekistan. By the way, we never say "Nazdorovie" because it translates as "On health!" - it's very empty phrase, means nothing. It is only said in hollywood movies about russian mafia and other steretypes, guys, shame on you :) In the movie about Jason Bourne, his russian passport were saying "Foma AKDBKDFM" - good description how much you guys know about Russia. Maybe you even expect a bears on a bicycle? :D BTW that phrase would mean in its correct variant: - Thank you! - No problem! (Your health!) 8:55 - Nah, you got the wrong info. That was all about advertisement on TV about non-alcoholic beer. We all know what do advertisers want when they sell the alcohol-free beer, alcohol-free vodka - to buy the real vodka, and real beer. Not the right thing to be advertised for the youth, you must understand.

6:20 - As a russian, I believe this custom goes back from the second world war, when people were extremely hungry, especially people in the Leningrad area. When I was visiting family of my girlfriend in Saint Petersburg, her family was always cooking up the big dishes, even though I was not asking. And when I was filled, they said "Eat it! My grandmother died in the blockade of Leningrad! She was eating wooden sandwiches!" - it would be rude not to finish my borsch. I felt sick, but I understand that fear of hunger just lives inside people. Very funny to hear it from British :D I've heard that you guys never expect the guest to actually eat anything.
