Hilka  +  235275 Mon, 12 Jun 06 06:34 PM I'm not an Russian expert, though, but as a citizen of your neighbour, Finland, I suppose I can have an opinion. Most people in Finland have a neutral or positive attitude towards Russia, but referring to our mutual history, a fair part of the old dislike Russian. It's a shame, really, but the old have experienced wars and lost their husbands and sons. Anyway, generally Finns like you and your country, and I'm included those who like Russia.

	Vicky23  +  238012 Tue, 20 Jun 06 05:48 AM do people have bad impression of russians? i have never heard of that before. i think generally they are nice. i have not met a russian before, but in my country we treat russians as friends, cos we two countries are next to each other and we are used to be in a very good relationship, we called the russia "old brother". in asia people don't like the japanese. they are the most notorious.

	Dr. Stylus  +  248924 Wed, 26 Jul 06 03:07 AM Ay-up! I know im late but i wonder is anybody still here from Russia? So my english is quite not perfect i believe guuuuys! forget about your idea that russians always get 'minced'! We like beer more than vodka! also we have the same number of 'muffins' here like as you have... andaa/ as to bears all over the place - this is a 'manky', totally 'mazed', completely 'mental' announcement!!! Eventually some of you will visit Russia and will laugh 'they *** off' when remembered what they were thinking about it. cheers mates! oh, i forgot.. if still someone here who talks in Russian..please do! don't be embarrassed!

	Petr A  +  249126 Wed, 26 Jul 06 04:14 PM Amelie! I'm Russian and I don't worry about what another nations think about Russian people. What are you waiting? Praisings? Damnations? BBC, Fox and others form other nation's opinion about Russia. Russian tourists (often not the best people) help him. But all Russia know what Finns do on the rest in Saint-Petersburg. Can this knowledge help to make opinion about all Finns? I don't think so. Imagine the topic "Are there Jews (or black men) on this forum? What other people think about Jews?" And replies: "To be honest I don't like Jews. The Jews I met..." Petr A Joined on Thu, Jul 6 2006 Russia New Member 47 God is in the Truth, not in the power! (Alexander Nevskiy)

	Jujav4ik  +  251417 Wed, 02 Aug 06 01:47 AM Fuf, very interesting discussion! Trying to find some info on the question "What people think about the Russians?", i've finally found some answers for my forth coming  blog article about it, because it's hard for me to judge the stereotypes foreigners got about the Russians. What do I think about Russian ppl? They just different, in order to understand the mentality and our culture, foreigners have to live for some time in Russia: that's the only way to find out.
