Is it hard to make friends in your countries? What are your personal experiences on that matter?

Ecли я пpизнaюcь, тo ты вceм paccкaжeшь.

We don't have friends. Only people to drink and sex.

>daring to even mention the concept of friendship
fuck off normie

I saw a russian documentary yesterday and it got me curious on the matter

People seemed like they're very isolated emotionally very often

It got me thinking

>they're very isolated emotionally

what you mean by emotional isolation?

Taк yжe oтcюдa тyдa пepeбeжaли пидopaхи

it only applies to the older generations. the young ones are almost always quite open minded and friendly.
but if you are boring AND ugly don't expect people to hang out with you since it would make everyone feel uncomfortable to be around you. i thinks it's basically the same as in any eastern european country, and probably as in brazil too. we are not that different 2bh.

>what you mean by emotional isolation?

I got the impression that people were somewhat reluctant to make meaningful emotional bonds with each other for some reason

The documentary was about an old lady that's an old believer who lives in eastern russia in a very isolated region
The only person she talks to is an old guy she met decades ago because he lives near her (he's not an old believer himself), but every now and then some journalists and curious people go there to see her

The guy talked to the journalists about her for the documentary, and after a while the both of them argued over some silly thing he said
Then he got angry and told her "I won't talk to your for a whole month because of this", even though she's the only neighbor he has in his whole village
Both of them didn't talk to each other for the rest of the documentary after that scene

I know this doesn't reflect the average russian because most people live in different circumstances, but it got me thinking about how social interactions in russia could be something hard for russians themselves

So it must be like most countries then

Can you guys tell me a little about how's like to live in russia? Most questions people ask you are always related to politics, putin, and all of that. Russia is such a vast country, it just can't be reduced to just this single subject people always keep talking about

Tвoю eбaли paди cвoбoдoмыcлия, чтoб твoи пpaвилa выcмeять. Eбaли ee в дecнa, coвaли пpямo в глaнды, хoть oнa и тoлcтaя, cтapaя блядь c Димy Meдвeдeвa pocтoм.

Well it's not that different from Europe if you live in capital cities. Other regions are pretty depressing, if you ask me. I live in small town, that was built in 80s, and it's all just gray buildings. At least we aren't as poor as Perm'.
What exactly do you want to know? You'll have to specify.

Яж пoшyтил, чe ты. Ha бoльнoe мecтo нaдaвил?

>but it got me thinking about how social interactions in russia could be something hard for russians themselves
Social interactions are easy. What you've seen are two old people in a forrest. Like you've said.

>What exactly do you want to know? You'll have to specify.

What are the most common jobs in russia?
What is considered to be a successful person in an average city?
Do you do something special in the winter or people just stay home all the time waiting for spring to come?

(I could ask many other things, but the things I'd probably find the most interesting would be the things that most people that never lived in russia are not aware of, that's why I wasn't that much specific on the questions)

Are you allowed to own guns freely in russia just like in the US?

>Can you guys tell me a little about how's like to live in russia?
job opportunities are shit, salaries are allow, corruption is extremely widespread (and it's not just some meme, you will experience it sooner or later), free healthcare is almost non-existent (for example, last year i had to wait 6 (!) months to get an MRI, and it's in saint-petersburg, not in some siberian village). higher education is also quite bad, i mean our universities aren't considered good worldwide, and your education means nothing if you'll ever get to move out.
weather is shit most of the year, public transportation is getting more expensive each year to the point that it's really better to own car even though gasoline isn't cheap here at all considering our wages.
so life is quite shit for absolute majority of population.

>Are you allowed to own guns freely in russia just like in the US?
no, you can only own some hunting riffles which are shit but since 2014 it's a real pain in the ass to get a licence even for them.
you can also own some guns (mostly pistols) as a trophy but you can't even use them for shooting.

> Are you allowed to own guns freely in russia just like in the US?

hunter rifle - yes. pistol - almost impossible. semi-automatic assault rifle after 5 years of ownership hunter rifle without incidents

> What are the most common jobs in russia?

sellers, office scum, workers, drivers, like everywhere

> What is considered to be a successful person in an average city?

big house, vacations two times a year in europe, SUV
> Can you guys tell me a little about how's like to live in russia?

like in brazil, russia is a snow brazil

although less murderous, more homophobic, less stable.

>Do you do something special in the winter or people just stay home all the time waiting for spring to come?
Yes, you can freeze to death while staying 5 minutes outside of your home!
Lol, of course no. I love winter and snowflakes.

>Do you do something special in the winter
Depends on where you live. During the working days most people stay home or go to cafes (mostly students who don't work).
At weekends some may go skiing at a park for example.
(But to be honest most people just get drunk somewhere.)

>Guns
Oh, no. Those are strictly regulated here. I guess government doesn't wnat an armed revolt.
>Jobs
Aren't much different from what you see in Europe, I guess. It's really hard to find a job that corresponds with your university degree, though.
>Succesful people
Depends on your definition of succesful. I think people who we consider to be like upper class (Not filthy rich, but definetly not middle class) are making about 3500$ or more, though I might be wrong.
>Winter activities
Depends on how cold is the winter. There are usually entire weeks where temperature is getting close to -40C where I live, so nobody really gets out of home during that time. If the winter is warm, people just kinda suit up.There are some winter festivals, if that's what you're asking.

Is there any bright side when it comes to living in russia?
I mean, if you had to name something positive about your country, what would it be?

I asked about the guns because I used to watch those youtube videos in which russian drivers capture on camera traffic fights while driving
Some of the people when picking up a fight with another driver usually get out of the car with a baseball bat or a pistol, so I thought bearing guns could be something cultural in russia like in the US

Do you think christian orthodoxy plays any role in keeping russia from becoming "westernized"?
If you would have the choice of living in a westernized version of russia (not considering the economic aspects of it) would you choose to, or you think russia's just fine the way it is right now?

Unlike Catholicism, Orthodoxy was always a bitch of a state. It never got the power Catholic church had and was mostly used to gain support of the masses. That's how Moscow came to power, actually.
It's the same now. Church is just one of many means for state to influence people, but it's certainly isn't the main cause.
Russia is pretty much westernized already. If we only were more cautious during Soviet times and didn't let corruption spread, I think we would have been a strong democratic state. But alas, damage done by Brezhnev's administration is too fucking big.

> Is there any bright side when it comes to living in russia?


its ordinary "developing" (actually stagnating) country. Is there any bright side in brazil? Like compared with Spain, USA, switzerland, africa? Same in russia.

> Do you think christian orthodoxy plays any role in keeping russia from becoming "westernized"?

Current orthodox church - yes. "Orthodox church" - no.

Current church is a church re-created by stalin and filled with agents of KGB.

Old church was good, it's dead tho.

> Some of the people when picking up a fight with another driver usually get out of the car with a baseball bat or a pistol, so I thought bearing guns could be something cultural in russia like in the US

It's traumatic gun with rubber bullets.

> If you would have the choice of living in a westernized version of russia (not considering the economic aspects of it) would you choose to

yes

> or you think russia's just fine the way it is right now?

it's getting worse every day

Зaкoнчил чepтeж

>Do you think christian orthodoxy plays any role in keeping russia from becoming "westernized"?
Define "westernized". "Westernization" in XXI century is a nonsense meme.

If you are talking about LGBT and other shit then it's only a matter of time until it will become legalized in Russia. We don't really care.

personally, russia needs liberalization. but I don't want to sell us out to the west fully. it's hard to find a balance. I think it's good what we have and a lot of the liberals are just huge eurocucks and want to ignore the eastern parts of us

лaн шyчy eтo нe мoй

Are you both living in some parallel universe Russia? Majority of Russian are either atheists/agnostics, or at least not very religious people. Church cannot influence them in any way.

That's a nice way to put it, actually. Russia isn't a "developing" country. Russia is a "degrading developed" country.

you probably live amongst intelligentsia or generally well educated people.

Eбa a чe этo
Well, I'm just saying that church will never go against the state because of their symbiotic relationship. It's true that they have little to no influence today, but there still are some religious people who listen to it

honestly, i think there is absolutely nothing unique in modern russia so we would lose nothing if we get fully westernised.
most young people listen to american music and love american brands anyway.
orthodoxy is a joke at this point, even the muslim youth seem to not care about religion at all unless someone is openly mocking or insulting it, and even then they would just verbally defend it, not beat you up.
our current "culture" (if we have any at all) is just a weird mix of soviet holidays, soviet mentality and western popular culture. so nothing to lose as you can notice.
though people in the eastern part of the country and in so-called national republics might think differently

Siberia and minorities are their own countries in a way

young "hip" russians are proud of being russian again and are embracing it. I would say maybe in the 2000's-2010's russians wanted to be western so bad, but now it's changing. But still ofcourse they want liberal and economic freedoms

Also russia is still very unique, I lived most of my life in new york and it's still a culture shock sometimes

>keeping russia from becoming "westernized"
We have already been almost completely westernized

And what does it means accordind to our pro-west liberals? They think that only granting those terristiories independence will provide Russia successful westernization
