The Russian people and Russian culture are the linchpin, the glue that binds together this unique civilization.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Russian people get so insanely close to each other as friends. Their lives are interrelated so much on an everyday basis.
The Russian people have their own cultural code, their own tradition.
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.
I feel very uneasy with a lot of aspects of the Russian life and the Russian people.
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.
From the country with limited hope to grow your own business and express your own personality, Russia has become the land of significant opportunity.
I don't have any opinions about Russians. There are celebrity persons in each country. Different people do different things.
Russia is very big and very varied. People are different in different regions.
I love the Russians for their verve, their melancholia, their vivacity, their unpredictability, and their humour.
The great drama of Russian history has been between its state and society. Put simply, Russia has always had too much state and not enough society.
