I don't have any opinions about Russians. There are celebrity persons in each country. Different people do different things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Russia is very big and very varied. People are different in different regions.
In American films, Russians are often portrayed like cartoon villains without clear motivations.
The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks.
I love the Russians for their verve, their melancholia, their vivacity, their unpredictability, and their humour.
The Russian people get so insanely close to each other as friends. Their lives are interrelated so much on an everyday basis.
The Russians are a very sentimental people.
In the Russian experience, although the Russian state is oppressive, it is their state, it is part of their fabric, and so the relation between Russian citizens and their state is complicated.
The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.
Russians aren't perfect. Their politics are messed up, and they keep going through self-defeating economic cycles. But I have a lot of respect for Russia, and a lot of love for Russians.
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.
