Sad Russians?

Just curious, do Russians like being sad? It seems like the whole country is bleak and depressing. Communism never emphasized bright colors or happiness. Russian leaders are dour, strong men. People do not smile at each other. Alcoholism is the norm. Is there happiness in Russia? Why is it so sad? Has it ever been happy?

I don't understand it either. Russia must be a happy place to live

Some cultures believe you should be depressed and sad all the time or you're an idiot. France is another example.

I'm so depressed that I didn't go with my best friend to buy clothes today, even though I had promised him that I will. Not even the first time, sometimes I just hate seeing other people.
Instead I just sit on my arse and incinerate muh kush

I feel ok at the moment.

Cute.

you're a bad person

Seriously Russia looks like the setting of a post-apocalyptic survival game
