Hello, friends!
In this video, I'll tell you what you don`t need to do in Russia.
So how do you, the viewers of my channel, interested in Russian language and Russian culture
you maybe visit Russia.
It is obvious!
So, armed with a notebook and pen and write after me!
First, don`t walk in the house in shoes.
Remember, friends: Russian people never walk in the house in shoes.
Because Russian people are very like cleanliness
and if everyone will go to the house in a shoe, how much we need to clean our house ?!
Probably, every day, several times!
We do not need that! Therefore, we always tell our guests to take off their shoes.
Second, if you are talking to a man about Russian politics - never criticize Russia.
Russia may criticize the man who grew up there, was born. That is precisely the Russian people can criticize Russia.
If it makes a foreigner, he will have a problem!
Third, do not try to out-drink Russian people.
But if you succeed, you will automatically become a Russian man!
Fourth, you can not refuse a drink with a Russian man.
If you suddenly refuse to drink with a Russian man, he will ask you: "Do you respect me?"
And if even then you will not want to drink, you will have a problem.
Therefore, it is better to keep the conversation going!
Fifth, You can not talk very loudly on public transport, in cafes or restaurants.
In Russia it is not accepted to shout loudly in the café, if it's just not a sport bar.
Not accepted loudly discussing something at the table.
in a cafe or restaurant.
Therefore, if you do so, then you will begin to whisper around people
"boo" at you, telling you that you have behaved quiet,
and they're right!
Because Russian people have great respect for each other's personal space, and try not to interfere with it
with loud cries, shouts.
Sixth, it is impossible to walking in Russia without documents.
In our country, you can stop in the street and ask for the police to show your documents.
This is normal.
Therefore, dear friends, be sure to carry documents.
Because, if you suddenly they would not have it, then you will have a big problems.
Seventh: do not smile at strangers Russian man in the street.
In our country it is not accepted to bring smiles to strangers.
We protect them to relatives, friends, for good friends.
And so, if you'll smile in the street to a person,
you may be misunderstood, and consider, for example, that you are a homosexual
or if you need anything from this man,
or you're trying to sell something to the man.
Either you are fraud.
In general, do not do it
It is better to leave your smile for friends, for family.
Also, if you visit the country when passing any political meeting in the city center,
or any procession, try to stay away from it.
Because often political meetings are not agreed by the authorities
and you just strolling in the center, can be taken to the police, and you will sit in the jail there a long time,
it is not known how long
Do you need it?
There have been cases of this in Moscow, when they were unauthorized political meetings, people just passing by
look at what is happening and the police were taken them together with the participants of the meeting, as they were there stupidly
because were there in this place at this time.
Therefore, friends, stay away from any political meeting.
Also in Russia, and, I think, in any other big city, don`t show your money on the street,
consider them.
Or sit with the phone constantly on the subway.
If you sit in a subway car Always hold your phone,
and your bag, because so many cases where thiefs before the train departure from the station
pull out your phone or bag, sprint,
the door behind him is closes, the train is leaving, and you'll never see
neither your cell phone or passport, or your money.
A stay in a foreign country without a passport, without any money, but even just without the phone - it's awful!
This is the worst thing that can happen to all of you on a journey!
Therefore, my friends, I beg of you, watch your bags, your phone, your documents.
when you are in Russia.
Well, it is as you probably already guessed, don`t show that you are gay in Russia.
Russia has a bad attitude to the homosexual.
If, for example, any Russian person sees on the street passing a couple of guys or girls
holding hands,
then you will be directed not only glances, but maybe someone even get into a fight,
will insult you.
If you do not want to end up in the hospital with broken ribs, it is better not to show it.
That's all! I hope you will now be much easier in Russia.
