People in Russia adapt to misery by a deep, deep humor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Russian humor is to adapt or make some sense or nonsense out of the insanity of their lives.
The Russians are extreme people: they are generous but crazy at the same time. They always have something to say, and I really like that.
The Russians are a very sentimental people.
Most comedy comes out of misery.
The idea that if you are very clever you shouldn't be an actor would be laughable in Russia.
Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility.
I love the Russians for their verve, their melancholia, their vivacity, their unpredictability, and their humour.
You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.
Misery is the stuff of comedy, if one can just live long enough to get over it.
Many Russia experts note the deep and sad capacity of the Russian people for suffering.
