  • @KINO . Yes I can imagine! You have probably seen side both of the worlds.
    I think when you are born to the envorinment so aggresive, you are automatically adapted to it. That's all you know and see, you don't recognise it as vividly because there is nothing to compare it with. But every (almost) every person got bullied in Russia at some point in time. Agression - that is so innate in people, subsequently comes from poor and disfunctional childhoods and opressed and strict political settings etc.
    Racism is very different to lets say, US or Britain, even historically. But, from the social & cultural point of view, there isn't much acitivism and enlightment going on in the equality sector, specifically for racism. Feminism is only becoming more apparent, yet many women themself aren't aware of the terminology which really says a lot about the social and cultural awareness, but it's getting there. Of course, the country is very patriarchal in itself, sinse the Christian development, and its deeply rooted to the society, so any change will take very long and gradual time to even begin to shift.
    The new Russians though, are breaking through with a great power, thanks a lot to the social media etc. Despite all of that, the atmosphere is much more friendlier and calmer now than it was in my childhood, in the beginning of 2000s, and its no surprise as Russia was under radical, political and social changes with a lot of chaos, deficit, gangs and murders taking place. So it's no surprise how and why people became aggresive and it's changing, slowly but surely.
  • I actually lived in Russia in 2006 - for about 6 months.

    How are you finding things? I had a different experience as a Afro Latino male living in st Petersburg . There were placed that were extremely welcoming and curious but some places were off limits
