"Why are Russians often seen as amoral, brutal, or ruthless?" In this video, I tackle this intriguing question from a subscriber's perspective as a writer born in the USSR. Join me as I uncover the deep social and historical forces that shape Russian behavior, exploring the layers of the social pyramid, the influence of state power, and its impact on morality and actions. From loyalty to authority to the importance of personal connections, I dive into the unique dynamics of Russian culture and social structures. Get ready for an eye-opening journey into the complexities behind the perceptions.

I have the good old EU brown passport.
Buwaya is indeed “crocodile”. I like crocodiles.
I suggest that you o back to doing that, and you aren't helping a thing in our fight for our nation. You can not seek revenge by sending your money to fight Russia now. It is rightfully your threat, not ours, but like before you want to sit back, let the Americans do it all, and reap the benefits derived in the aftermath.
But at least you were truthful, even though you thought you were being cleverly sarcastic, about your desires to destroy this nation. At least now we know now exactly where you really do stand & what your motivations truly are as well.
You have the good old EU brown passport because the reptiles ruling Europe pulled you, the dregs of the third world and the Muslim savages to dispossess their own people.
“you aren’t helping a thing in our fight for our nation”
I think quite a few of you are rather thick. That’s OK in itself, but it leads to an inability to deal with problems. One rejects information because it makes you feel bad, or inadequate, and therefore it cannot be. I have seen exactly this in the San Francisco School board. Ask about the decades long struggle over 8th Grade Algebra or math curricula. MY peeps in all that were FOB Chinese parents with barely any English. YOUR peeps, were you in that, would have been the typical SF “progressives”. Its amazing what eloquent hatred they could dredge up vs Chinese mamas.
Are you the baddies?

You are just another ungrateful immigrant pet of our garbage establishment that needs to go home.
I am all for destroying your nation by improving your education. That is certain to lead to disaster! (evil laugh) Ha ha ha ha.
I may not even be attempting sarcasm. Proper education/intellectual preparation may well melt your (your, as in specifically you) mind. It is a cruel fate, but if needs must...
But in truth you no longer need to worry as we have retired to Spain. I have left wrangling with the SF School board to others. You may want to march over there to reinforce the idiot progs, it seems they need the help.
Lucky you! We have “gone home”. Years ago.

Its not looking good!
Unfortunately, the proposition won. They need you over there!
Your ability to enter a hair-on-fire rage when receiving feedback from a foreigner will be essential to the Progressive cause going forward!
The video is a bunch of baloney made to entertain confirmation bias. None of the things mentioned is unique or at least more typical to the Russians compared to Europeans.
nothing, absolutely nothing will ever surpass the romantic Russian classical era — so, I’m inclined to keep an open mind regarding the dynamics of Russian culture

TLDR version - Russians can be brilliant while consistently being huge PITBs. Especially to each other.
In modern times (post 1960’s-1970’s?) however the creative “spark” seems to be gone.
I didn’t much follow Russian dance/ballet, but no doubt there’s a strong correlation to the orchestral era. Surely Tchaikovsky would be indicative of the dance era given the related commissions.
Orlando Figes does a brilliant overview of every art form, from ballet to poetry to orchestral music to painting. Its all there. Chock full of personalities and incidents and of course, “the big picture”.
“Natasha’s Dance” is taken from a scene in “War And Peace”.
These days cornflakes are as bad for me as a double scotch. Diabetes....
bttt
We’ll get you listen to “Rite of Spring”. Probably.
From watching some crash videos, there are the worst drivers in the world.
The YouTube channel is also amusing. She states "Visit my website at www.elvirabary.com to learn more about me, my books, and the Sphinx Method, a unique tool I created to help understand both others and oneself." M A E K E T I N G in the basic form of self-promotion."
As she advises: "You can subscribe in two ways: either fill out the subscription form below or take my personality quiz to explore the Sphinx Method. This quiz introduces you to this unique system and helps you discover your core personality type and subtype."
A week into President Trump's four year long administration, and much of consequence is going on. Sphinx method lady is not consequential. But she is marketing herself.
