Russians and Americans

Russians and Americans think that there are more opportunities to find commonalities with the alien from the universe than "alien" from Russia. Immigrants in Russia feel the same even for American colleagues, classmates and even spouses. The key to acquiring and maintaining mutual respect in a cross-cultural relationship is to understand the unique cultural norms of people in different countries. If you are not going to investigate the historical and psychological aspects of typical Americans and Russian behavior and traditions in detail, let's see the difference between representatives of these two cultures.

I would like to tell you the similarities and differences between a typical American and a typical Russian. They are both kind and similar, like inventions and novelty. Russians and Americans appreciate and love their children and their families. They are ready to help at any time. But there are such differences: Americans are optimistic about life, Russians are pessimistic. Americans prefer to gamble (рисковать), Russians are very cautious (осторожны). Russians make all decisions by groups of people, Americans decide everything independently (самостоятельно). The material value of Americans is higher than the mental value (духовные), the Russian spirit is higher than the material value. Unlike Russians, Americans value (дорожить) time. According to the regulations, Americans have two cars. The first car is family and the second car is work. Everyone is different, I think it is impossible to decide the difference between Russian and American (установить)

Many Russian-Americans are politically and socially conservative, this is a response to anti-religious purification in the Soviet homeland. But for some Russian-Americans like Sacramento like Elena Mironciuc, "NPR listens, Subaru drives and keeps freedom", since the election, even generalization of Russian free media organizations It is too much. Mironciuc believes that Russian intervention in the election of the United States is sponsored by the Kremlin. But she said, "It depicts the way you think that all Russians - grandmothers, children, pregnant women - sit in front of the computer on Twitter and Facebook This concern to Russians Reminds me of demonicization of the Cold War.
