The Russians are very much more up and down than the French.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We know that the French are very different from the Americans in their satisfaction with life. They're much less satisfied. Americans are pretty high up there, while the French are quite low - the world champions in life satisfaction are actually the Danes.
The French consider themselves the guardians of the world's culture and do not bother to hide the fact, which is annoying, but Paris is still where good Americans want to go when they die - and Brits, Russians, and Chinese as well, these days.
The French are very individualistic.
French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.
I don't think Russia will follow the United States's way. I don't think Russia will follow the French way. I'm sure Russia will find its own way.
The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks.
The French are simply incapable of telling the truth.
There is an enormous difference between Russia and Western Europe.
France can never accept that it is no longer a dominating power in the world of culture. This is true both of the French right and the French left. They keep thinking that Americans are primitive cowboys or farmers who do not understand anything.
I don't have any opinions about Russians. There are celebrity persons in each country. Different people do different things.
