This is really heartwarming to see! I came to Russia in 2012 and at that point my friends didn't really understand why or where I was going to. People here in Russia were questioning my decision as well, as not many of them could understand why would a person from "the West" come and live here. But time passed and now I see more and more foreigners and Russian-born foreigners coming back and most have very similar reasoning! I'm glad more people appreciate this wonderful country and value everything that it has to offer! Thanks for the interviews and all the best!!

In my culture if you’re not smiling it means you have mental illness basically the opposite of Russians but i learned to understand. Mexicans we live hard lives and we say it’s better to smile than be sad about it. Even in death we will smile, all men should be friends unless it’s war.

There is interesting phenomena called "двор", "выходи во двор в футбол играть". The Soviet style residential artitecture had squares of 9 story buildings and all kids in that "двор" were like brothers and sisters. I believe that "real friendship" you are describing is coming from that phenomena: you moved in to our "двор", you start playing soccer or hockey with us, so you becoming our brother. (Just hypothesis to investigate by a journalist). I used to live next to Lumumba University and there were many black guys, sons of diplomats and students of that university. In a few months, they start playing soccer with us, learn few swerting words and they became brothers too. No difference, you just scream to the six floor: "Hei Kassim! Are you coming to play?" I guess that sort of similar to Jewish communities in Odessa, where "двор" was you second family. Another theory of mental formation is "agricultural tribe" vs. "family tribe". I. Agricultural tribe - anyone who ready to "plant field with us" is our family. These two things might be the reason of that friendship you are describing.

Russia is a civilization uniting many cultures. There is no arrogance towards other nations, because there is an interest towards other cultures. We just become more rich in cultures, foods, clothes, ideas, dances, talents, places to visit. We are not trying to become all the same, we like to be different. Just like men and women.

@@user-ib9sw7id9r I agree, the hostility against russia and russians might increase. The west has set its course for SELF-DESTRUCTION. There is no civilization without family, without marriage, without masculine men and feminine women. If I were a russian general, I'd just delay the war against the west like, for 20 years, the west(NATO) will fall by itself. There are NO MEN in the west anymore, and you know, only men fight in wars, women are the minority of front line soldiers. Yeah I am aware of the flight ban, people are going through armenia as well. Feels so unreal that the west is what it is now. It is just like rome before its collapse in 476, but we are like, 10-20 years from it, I can tell. Men in the west specially in europe are not men anymore, with exception of the warsaw pact countries that have resisted feminism and woke ideologies so far.

Такое построение мультикультурности, как вы это назвали, характерно для империи суши. Империя суши присоединяет малые народы, сохраняя их культуру и образ жизни. Запрещаются только совсем дикие традиции вроде каннибализма, многоженства, работорговли. Империя дает защиту, работу и заботу. Но малый народ берет на себя обязательства вступать в защиту общей империи наравне с имперским народом. В нашем случае-с русским. При этом при сохранении традиционного уклада малого народа, его элиты интегрируются в имперские элиты на совершенно равноправных условиях. Любой может вспомнить примеры грузинских князей, генералов, польских генералов русской армии, немецких высших чиновников (тот же Витте). Сейчас самые яркие примеры-это Шойгу, Собянин, Хуснулин, Набиулина. В своем крае малый народ живет по своим порядкам, при этом «дичь» убирается общеимперскими законами- уголовным кодексом, административным и т п. Но когда представитель малого народа выезжает в другой регион, то там он общается и живет по общеимперским законам. То есть русского в нашем случае. Поэтому наш гость ролика так себя хорошо сувствует среди армян, азербайджанцев и бурятов. За предеоами своего традициооного места они живут по общеимперским законам, как и вы. Кроме России сейчас в мире есть еще 2 таких же общества-это Иран и Китай. Построенные на тех же принципах.

А вот сша и Британия-это классические империи моря. Британия, правда, уже в прошлом. Они контролируют не сушу и территории, а пути , смыслы и элиты через ложные смыслы. Им не надо было и сейчас не надо заботиться и присоединять малые страны и народы. А надо наладить контроль за элитами и через них получать ресурсы. Поэтому в сша нет общеимперского смысла. Есть разрозненные группы, элиты сша контролируют глав диаспор, и через них влияют в том числе и на политику в той же Мексике, например. Ну или напрямую подкупают/меняют элиты соседнего государства, начиная получать ресурсы его. При этом забота о населении остается заботой этого государства. И войны идут по тому же принципу. Если сша/британии надо военное решение вопроса, они не воюют сами, своим народом, а страются подчиненное государство/народ через его элиты отправить воевать за себя. Самый яркий пример такого контроля страны-это британская колонизация Индии. Когда британцев там было порядка 60000 чел, но через контроль и подкуп индийских элит контролировалась страна с населением во много раз превосзодящим саму Британию. И в этом британцам , в случае именно с индией, очень помогала кастовая система: держа в руках контроль над главой касты, ты держал контроль и ресурсы этой касты. Конечно, ни о какой интеграции элит подчиненного народа речи не шло и не идет при таком механизме устройства империи. И потому , что нет общеимперского смысла в империях моря и у них нет умения и задачи сохранить малый народ в его первозданности, и идет именно навязывание малым народам культуры и языка сверху, до степени, что народ становится не индейцем или мексиканцем в америке, а просто американцем. Или , наоборот, идет защитная реакция в виде полного огораживания от внешнего воздействия и «американизации». В США тоже пытаются научиться выстраивать отношения внутри страны на принципах империи суши, но выходит пока не очень. То есть присутствуют ее элементы. Равно как и в России/Китае/ Иране присутствуют элементы империи моря-это флот, сми, литература, кино (то есть тоанслирование своих смыслов). И у тех и у других эти элементы вторичны и именно элементы, а не главная стратегия

России давно нужно пересмотреть свою миграционную политику . Пока что реально мы видим толпы мигрантов из Средней Азии , которых завозят в страну под видом "специалистов" , которые не желают ассимилироваться с обществом , живут анклавами и получают гражданство РФ скорее всего через свои диаспоры (думаю у прокуратуры к этим диаспорам и тому же ФМС должна возникнуть масса вопросов) . И когда смотришь видео , снятое нашими бывшими соотечественниками , пытающимися вернуться в Россию , говорящими на прекрасном русском языке и мигрантами-азиатами , которые по-русски часто двух слов не могут связать , но получают гражданство быстрее остальных --- это вызывает не только удивление ..

I am a hands on learner so a tutor in Russia will be needed. I can read and write but speaking it and understanding is a bit harder. I need that in person conversation. Иметь русских друзей - одно из самых удивительных впечатлений. Они честны и заботливы. Даниил, я рад, что ты отдашь своему сообществу. Именно этим я и займусь, когда приду. А потом русский трудно выучить. Я пробовал приложения и онлайн, и это не мое. Я практический ученик, поэтому мне понадобится репетитор в России.

About Baikal and its size - one interesting fact, about 336 rivers flow into the lake, and only one Angara River flows out. So, if you block all the rivers flowing into Lake Baikal, then the water from the lake will flow through the Angara River ... 400 years, the lake is so huge! And I also want to say that Dan has a very open look and a kind sincere face, this is something that we Russians really appreciate! Sincerity is always appreciated and respected in Russia. And, by the way, the plans that he announced were also pleased - they are a nice couple with Ksenia and I want them to be able to build their happiness here in Russia, in any case, I wish them that!

The different ethnicities that live in Russia have their origins in one of the regions of the same country - Russia. Like, for example, Buriats are native to Buriatia, which is within Russia. And so on. Or nationalities from other former Soviet Republics and live in Russia still feel that they belong. The historic and cultural roots of all these people are with Russia. In the case of the US, different ethnicities have their cultural and historic roots outside the US. Apart from the native Americans. So there's a divide among these communities.
