What was especially important for the Russian troops was the battle with the Swedes. What is especially important to know in Russia? Questions and tasks

Among Europeans, the conviction is ripening that quotas must be introduced for vacationers from Russia, otherwise their too noticeable presence offends public morality.

Being a European according to the “Protestant ethic” that guides my everyday life, with disgust, like the Europeans themselves, I perceive the behavior of my debauched compatriots both abroad and often in Moscow. The tone is set by "new Russian pigs" like those who "distinguished themselves" in Courchevel, but their attendants usually behave obscenely. And just as Russians in Russia often disapprove of the behavior of migrants (“chocks”) from the wilder south, so Europeans are annoyed by the antics and manners of Russian nouveau riches.

The fact is that the money goes to the Russian nouveaux riches and their servants not through hard work, as in classical bourgeois society, but through robbery and looting of their own country, sanctioned by an organized ruling group. And what is easy to get is easy to spend. And a typical European, who grew up on the matrix of “Protestant ethics” with its cult of labor gaining success in life as evidence of God’s chosen people, treats easily enriched dubious “Russians”, even if they generously throw tips, with internal contempt and disgust. This is how a generation ago they treated the Arab petrodollar sheikhs and their numerous servants, and normal Arabs still cannot wash off the shameful reputation that the Arab nouveau riche once earned. The current negative attitude of Western (and Eastern) people towards tourists from Russia is all the more offensive because many millions of Russian emigrants, including those who have left for permanent residence in various Western countries relatively recently, are quickly adapting to the understandable and rational norms of "Protestant ethics" and live about the same, if materially not better, as local citizens. We are the same as all other people, but the regime in our country, which determines the behavior of its subjects, is so retrograde and pathological that it cannot but distort the psyche of modern Russian people. What is the pop, such is the arrival.

A number of recent publications in Russian newspapers are encouraging - the problem seems to be recognized and is beginning to reach public opinion. Not everyone in Russia is mired in disgust, many are also offended by their fallen compatriots, like me.

Evgeny Arsyukhin writes about this in the article “What is seen through holes in socks: Western millionaires are simple in everyday life, and ours amaze the world with breathtaking spending” (Rossiyskaya Gazeta, February 9, 2007 http://www.rg.ru/2007/02/ 09/millionaire.html):

“The other day the head of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz, went to a mosque in the Turkish city of Edirne. Taking off his shoes, he showed the world the holes in his socks. And later, at the market, he exacerbated the impression by borrowing 150 euros from the security guard for a souvenir. This story begs the question: why are their millionaires simple in everyday life to the point of stinginess, while ours amaze humanity with mind-blowing personal spending? If we confine ourselves to moralizing, then this text can be ended right there. Because in fact there are many reasons, they are complex and hardly lie only in morality.

All Russian millionaires are similar, Western ones are very different. The frugality of American and Canadian millionaires (Mr. Wolfowitz is an American) reaches the point of absurdity, and their wives keep expense books like students. Suit - no more than 400 dollars, shoes - no more than 150 (which is intensively repaired until it is completely worn out). The house is the one in which you lived when you were not a millionaire, the most modest (by US standards) car (no more than 25 thousand) and the same wife (despite the fact that 80 percent of rich Russians get divorced in the region of 40 years to find who is younger). But the millionaire will never stint on strong stocks and on education for children, who, by the way, are kept in a black body until the death of their fathers. The Germans are very similar to the moneybags of the New World, with the difference that they are younger and even more aggressive in business.

But the British look like Russians. Their fortunes are mostly hereditary, hence the sense of caste and the need to maintain this caste by appearing at expensive parties and playing ruinous sports like polo. But having paid tribute to prejudices, the same Englishmen save even more harshly, and a servant who buys a shirt from an Indian for two pounds for a "master" is a common thing. The Swedish moneybags are considered leaders in stinginess. Furniture from Ikea, food from semi-finished products, a house in the country with an area of 20 (!) Square meters, plus a car from 10 years ago.

Psychologists see the reason for the stinginess of the Western rich in the fact that, with rare exceptions, they "made themselves," and in decades. In the USA and Canada, people get richer before retirement, in Europe - earlier, but at the cost of exhausting, even by American standards, work. Hence the holy confidence of Americans that the richer is the one who spends less and saves a lot.

Newspapers are full of advice - save 10-20 percent of your income. Many follow the advice, so there are a lot of millionaires in the USA. You can evict everyone from New York, populate the city only with American millionaires, and still not enough. However, in Germany every 80th is a millionaire.

Needless to say, in Russia, by definition, there are no people who have been saving money for 30-40 years. And they are unlikely to appear, given that inflation is five times higher in our country, and rates on bank deposits do not even allow it to be beaten off. But our moneybags appear as if from nothing. Read the official biography of anyone - it is impossible to understand from it where something came from. Only in recent years have people appeared who, with a stretch, can be said that they "made themselves." I personally know several such millionaires. But it is better not to ask them the question of start-up capital. And against the backdrop of all-Russian chic, they are considered, at best, "simply wealthy."

Even under Ivan the Terrible, English envoys were surprised that the tsar was served as many dishes as a person is not even able to try, and the uncooked went from the table to the trash. The English simply forgot that three centuries earlier they had the same thing. This is called "conspicuous spending" and is considered a property of feudalism. Feudalism has long passed, the propensity to outrageous remains. Why?

First, it didn't take long. Even under Nicholas II, real feudalism reigned in the village, and the collective farm - isn't it a feudal estate? Secondly, the roots of this feudal habit are important. The feudal lord - he doesn't work. And he doesn't value his money.

It is impossible to say that our rich people do not work. But think about it: how many American millionaires could afford a two-week vacation in Courchevel? Two weeks in the USA is a standard vacation for the staff, and the moneybags do not have it at all, as well as the "relaxation" characteristic of our elite after work.

Labor cannot be measured in terms of time. This is an argument for those who praise their patron with foam at the mouth: they say that he does not have time to wash his hands. But labor experts have long noticed that the lion's share of the working time of the Russian rich is spent on "graters", that is, tedious negotiations with officials and bandits, as well as on petty control of subordinates. So, the head of one large firm stays up late simply because he personally signs payments, not trusting his financial director. He doesn't do anything else.

The rich are not loved anywhere. But in a different way. In Russia and in France: "May you die." In the USA: "Someday I will become such a bastard."

Loyalty to the rich in the United States has a much more prosaic reason. If in Russia you and Roman Abramovich pay 13 percent of taxes each, then in the USA the average millionaire shares with the budget five times more intensively than a typical manager. One percent of the US population provides a third of tax revenues to the federal budget, and together with another 10 percent of people from among the "ordinary millionaires" they fill two-thirds of the country's money. At the same time, the middle class, earning 45 percent of US money, gives the treasury only 10 percent of its volume. And since people in the USA follow the budget (the budget of the city of Los Angeles is 15 volumes available on the Internet to anyone, the budget of an average Russian city is a pamphlet at most), everyone understands very well: hospitals, roads, schools - from their oligarch money.

In this regard, attempts to push our business into some kind of "charity" are ridiculous. Why commemorate the Morozovs and Tretyakovs when the problem can be solved through a progressive tax? However, it does not exist, and its absence is presented as a blessing. Draw your own conclusions.

A million for show-off - the Russian rich with their defiant spending first surprised the world. Now they're more likely to mix. Take the same Courchevel. A Western oligarch will not go there. The hotels are old, the pools are dirty, there is no entertainment other than skiing, the service is disgusting, the staff is rude. Also me, "price - quality".

Our people pay colossal sums for this squalor, and they are even proud of it. Why? The resort was known as "status" in the sense that "there are all of ours." And this is more expensive than Paris with its mass. Wealth in Russia is made on personal connections. Not on education, not on diligence, but like this - "turn up in time under the arm" of another rich person or official. And all potential oligarchs are only busy with "tucking up".

Let's say someone is looking for a wedding general to land on a good asset. You don’t need to do anything special, all the “husks” will do it for a miserable 3-4 thousand dollars, it is important that “the person is reliable”. And then they bring me up: "Meet Ivan Ivanovich, a good boy, OURS." And the boy dreams of sitting in an armchair and eating Ivan Ivanovich.

Not without reason: Ivan, most likely, was also simply "successfully introduced" at one time, and he himself is nothing special.

So do not laugh at the socks of the manager of the world's largest bank. Firstly, though tattered, yes it is. Secondly, Korolev also had tattered socks, because his head was stuffed with Cosmos. The vacuum in the head is instantly filled with socks.

Yes, it is bad that the gap between the rich and the poor is growing and that the money of the rich does not go to decent salaries for their hired managers, normal workers. But there are worse things.

The worst thing is that the upstart mentality tends to poison everything around it. A typical picture: a novice finance lawyer, a salary of $500, a shirt for $800. Wouldn't it be better to invest in English courses?

The main thing, however, is that this mentality does not poison the whole of Russia. While there is talk of diversifying the economy, our country earns semi-feudal rent from its raw materials. God knows what a difficult job. If we forget about this and imagine that we are cooler than China, which has made a name for itself with the hard labor of billions, there is a danger of seriously breaking firewood.

The cure for the "billionaires' disease" is very simple. It is necessary through taxes to force them to "share" with society, and to give the most active part of society the opportunity to grow rich.

From a typical public speech of millionaires from different countries

USA: "Looking at me, you will understand - the American dream is alive, it did not remain in the days of our valiant pioneers..."

Germany: "Having invested the remaining euros from the miraculous scholarship into the purchase of a decent computer, I did not suspect that someday the newspapers would call me the "King of the Internet" ...

France: "There are still too many people in our country who cannot afford to study, eat well, have as many children as they want..."

Sweden: "By the will of fate, I was lucky, for which I am still embarrassed in front of our fellow citizens who are less fortunate ..."

Russia: "Realizing the social responsibility of business, we are doing everything to implement social programs aimed at further increasing the well-being of the inhabitants of our difficult region..."

The author Evgeny Arsyukhin compares the spending of a Russian nouveau riche and a Swiss millionaire who grew up in the citadel of the "Protestant ethic" of John Calvin - Geneva. The Russian nouveau riche has an apartment in the center of Moscow, a country house and an estate abroad for $40 million, and a Genevan millionaire has an apartment in the city and a house in the mountains, for a total of $20 million. The Russian has 3 million cars, the Swiss has 30 thousand. The Russian has an airplane (40) and a yacht (50), the Swiss has no such whim at all. The Russian has servants (guards, servants, girl escort, translators) for 10 million, and the Swiss has a cleaner-governess for 40 thousand. The Russian does not invest in antiques, and the Swiss spends an average of 100 thousand a year on it. A Russian spends 1-2 million on vacation, while a Swiss millionaire prefers to relax in his country house. And there is a significant difference in spending on the education of children: the Russian nouveau riche spends 50 thousand dollars a year for these purposes, and the Swiss 300-500 thousand.

As a percentage of the population, Russian dollar millionaires are 0.06%, and in the US - 3% (every 30th US citizen). And how many poor people there are in the Russian Federation - “I looked around me - my soul became wounded by the sufferings of mankind” (Alexander Radishchev, “Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow” / 1790 /). And today's Russians do not have the strength to change the situation, they have long been skinned and therefore crumbled, and they can only degrade and die out. So, with every right, healthy Europeans want to fence themselves off from Russians who betrayed and do not respect themselves. God bless them, with their easy money - few people are pleased to look at infectious patients.

Tatyana Zykova and Fyodor Lukyanov in the same issue of Rossiyskaya Gazeta published an article "Ski track for the fifth column: Austrian resorts introduce quotas for tourists from Russia" (http://www.rg.ru/2007/02/09/austria-kvoty .html):

“Surprising, but true. Either under the influence of recent events in Courchevel, or from an overabundance of ski tourists from Moscow, fashionable Austrian ski resorts have decided to introduce an unprecedented "quota" for tourists from Russia. There has never been such discrimination in the world of the tourism industry.

The owners of hotels in the Austrian resort town of Kitzbühel in the Austrian Alps have tacitly agreed to introduce a quota for Russian guests in the amount of 10 percent of the total number of visitors. According to the head of the local tourism industry, Renata Danier, quoted by the Guardian, from 16 to 20 owners of four- and five-star hotels in the city took part in the voting on this issue. In a statement drawn up on this occasion by representatives of the hotel business in Kitzbühel, it is said that such a quota for tourists from Russia is a necessary measure, since otherwise it will be impossible to preserve the "mixture of nations" for which the city has always been famous.

There are, however, motives that the owners of hotels in the Alps and the Austrian authorities are not so willing to talk about. Tourism experts believe that this measure was primarily intended to limit the purchase of Russian real estate in the city. The fact is that wealthy Russians have recently been buying up ski chalets and hotels at prices of millions of dollars, and this is pushing local businessmen out of the market. "It's time to act before we get pushed out," Mayor Klaus Winkler says candidly.

Meanwhile, according to a Russian source for RG, part of the roots of the current situation lie in internecine squabbles in the global international tourism market. It is no coincidence that the scandalous information "about the dominance of Russians" in prestigious world resorts with references to statements by Austrian officials appeared in the influential British newspaper The Guardian. Russians with the help of their wallets in recent years really "squeeze out" foreigners, the same Englishmen, from their favorite vacation spots. And as a result, local travel companies are forced to offer their customers more and more expensive tours, which, moreover, grow from year to year, causing protests.

However, there is another point of view. According to the press secretary of the Russian Union of Tourism Industry Irina Tyurina, limiting the flow of tourists has long been accepted in the international "tourist" cuisine. This is done in order, firstly, to avoid financial losses from unforeseen situations: possible visa, political, weather, financial and even epidemiological crises and risks in certain countries where people cannot leave for one reason or another. And secondly, for the sake of the spiritual comfort of tourists (at their own numerous requests), so that in some hotels, for example, mostly citizens from one country would live, and in others, on the contrary, the "international" was going to.

“Recreation “in Russian”: are the claims of foreigners justified?

President of the Association of Austrian Hotel Owners Sepp Schellhorn condemned the decision of the owners of the Kitzbühl hotels, calling it "absurd" and "myopic", especially in connection with the economic component.

Russian tourists abroad are loved and hated at the same time, which is understandable: our compatriots annually bring significant profits to travel companies, hotels, airlines and local residents, but at the same time they are overly distinguished by their "ability to relax." Special complaints are made against the "middle" class - people who cannot always afford expensive vacations, preferring to go abroad on a relatively cheap ticket, but to spend money "on the spot" or relax "to the fullest".

Foreign publications regularly publish articles in which Russians appear in a very unsightly light. Of course, some of these claims are not without merit. Those who have been in Egypt or Turkey at the height of the season will confirm that the majority of Russian vacationers do not deny themselves anything, even if these "whims" touch the space of other people.

In Turkey, for example, there is a Russian-German confrontation. Considering that the resort was "opened" by the Germans, this is quite understandable. But it comes to action: one of the leading tour operators in Germany "Neckermann" has already put forward a proposal to separate tourists according to nationality. The Daily Telegraph quotes Neckermann spokesman Gunther Traeger as saying: "Let there be separate hotels for Russians and special hotels for tourists from other countries, first of all for middle and lower class hotels."

In Europe, there is another trend, perhaps based precisely on the experience of resort countries: servicing Russians is often perceived by local entrepreneurs as an opportunity to make good money. In addition to the generally accepted joy that Russians leave good tips, there is an unspoken rule that a tourist from Russia is easily deceived, which is what souvenir merchants, owners of mini-hotels focus on.

Of course, Russians are different, but they judge by pathology, which, alas, exceeds a certain “critical mass”. About this - an indicative discussion on the forum http://travel.mail.ru:

Freaks are not foreigners, but "burners" like you. "But is it correct to attribute to the whole nation the ordinary bad manners of its individual representatives?" These are not individual representatives, but a representative mass, by which they are judged. I’ve been riding in the Alps since the 80s and I didn’t feel such a shame for our country until the doors were opened there for our cattle.

I agree that the nation as a whole is not judged by individual frostbitten people, but the problem is that it is precisely in the majority that they go to these resorts. To be honest, looking at them makes me more annoyed and ashamed than proud. Unfortunately. And I would love to do the opposite.

Name: Maka-Maka
Alas, most of our people read about good manners only in books. The problem is that we have forgotten how to respect ourselves, and therefore we do not respect our neighbor either (in the apartment, on the beach, on the dance floor, etc.). Westerners, on the other hand, have a well-developed sense of where decent behavior ends and indecent behavior begins. So, alas, they are right. Although we are not all like that. Let's learn to respect ourselves and behave in such a way that no one would think of pointing fingers at us.

You see, bros. There is such a category of Russians who live among other Russians in Russia, but without much satisfaction, because there is more swinishness and bestiality among Russians than anyone else. Travel around the countries, communicate with people and life will open up to you from the other side. And what have we personally done, brothers, so that we are not only respected, but also loved? Sorry if offended or offended. If you understand of course

You need to behave decently everywhere, and not get drunk to death and do whatever your heart desires. And this applies to everyone. Most Russian tourists get drunk on the plane. It's boring to watch. It's called tormented. According to them, an opinion is formed about the Russians. And they often try to deceive the Russians, especially by selling different souvenirs, it is insanely annoying.

Dear Russians, I see you every summer in Crimea. Ruso-tourist can be seen for a kilometer - no shame, no conscience. How will they treat you if there is no culture. You throw garbage at your feet, leave bottles right on the beach, swearing just sounds everywhere. You know, no self-respecting country wants to see even the most profitable tourists who do not have a minimum culture. Listen!

Name: Orbi
There has always been a certain number of frostbitten among our vacationers (and by the way, now, in my opinion, there are fewer of them). The dissatisfaction of the Europeans, in my opinion, arose now because, to their surprise, they suddenly discovered that the Russians no longer go to admire a civilized and rich Europe, but go just to relax, and the Europeans, to some extent, turned out to be service personnel for the Russians. That apparently for them was an offensive discovery.

Name: I
The answer is like a Russian - I saw you like that before ... and after ... What are you completely different ... I read and am touched ... Treat others (regardless of the nation) the way you want them to treat you. .. And I wouldn’t go into reconnaissance with the Russian ... They can make a boar ...

Name: Katerina

Yes, some of the Russian vacationers are really ashamed. Explain why, when I come to another country, nowhere do they take me for a Russian. Because expect in real life rudeness, swearing and inability to calmly understand the situation. By the way, I noticed that when a problem arises, Russians always refer to dislike for them. And if we talked more with foreigners (rather than looking for a drinking companion), we would understand that funny things happen to everyone and problems are all solved quite calmly. What is Russian? He is rude, calls the staff someone. And here is an example. Cuba. A bunch of Russian men, getting drunk on rum in the hotel, wanted pickles. So, in a rude way, they stumbled into the hotel kitchen and forced the black cooks to boil water, find vinegar, and so on. and pickle cucumbers. Imagine, well, the Cubans did not have enough snacks. They could also just kick the hotel staff if "something is wrong." In short, darkness. And we introduced ourselves "from the Baltic states!. It's a shame.

Unfortunately, the attitude towards the citizens of the Russian Federation has changed a lot after the obstacles to traveling abroad were eliminated. It's just a fact. As a fact, the fact that the number of words that do not correspond to the vocabulary of a normal person can be found in the discussion of the reasons or rather the personal attitude to the problem everywhere and here too. I am far from predicting recipes, but I am sure that the main reason for the decline in the cultural behavior of citizens is due to complete impunity for this behavior here in Russia. This is the consumption of alcohol in public places and the deliberate creation of emergency situations on the roads. And of course, benakozannost for these actions is their encouragement. This applies to all categories of citizens. Alas, in the crowd we do not see a person who eats himself, we have lost.

The porridge was brewed by the Austrians last year. At one of the resorts, ours smashed several hotel rooms in a “drunken wave” and made a fire on the balcony from the remnants of furniture - and the Austrians lost money from our tours. I am in Germany, so I know for sure, I myself was there at that time, which resort - I don’t want to say. The quota for Russians was already last year, and they are already squeaking after the Russians - where are they without us? Who will feed them with their glaciers?

Agree - rubbish. About 10-12 years ago, Hurghada was a peaceful resort .... what happened to it where ours are .... And ask for an opinion about our local playboy girls. SHAME ...... I loved this place very much, I went myself. I booked a small hotel without Russians (by the way, 4 stars), everything is quiet, peaceful and decent ... alone .... and ours show themselves everywhere. In London, at the airport, they buy everything (I agree. The Japanese also do this, but somehow it’s more cultured ...) ... I haven’t seen all this for 5 years. Very happy........ live in UK

It’s just that in Russia we behave like savages, and when we come to Europe we simply transfer our behavior there as well. Anyone who has ever been to Europe understands that people there are different, they are kinder and more attentive to others, against the background of them, Russians seem like pigs, although not all of them, of course. Coming to Europe, for some time you need to get used to the standard accepted in that society in relations between people. At first, it's even funny how stupid they are. But when you come back, you get used to our barbaric behavior much longer. Periodically so bitter that you want to howl.

Name: Roman
Until the Ruso-tourist acquires a minimum culture of behavior in public places, they will be oppressed, and to everyone's indignation, they will do it reasonably! Russo-tourist can be seen from afar. Not a single foreign tourist will spit under his feet, will not throw garbage on the beach, will not smoke under his breath to children, will not swear at the entire coast. Dear compatriots - we buy together the rules of etiquette and the rules of conduct in public places. See you after graduation!!!

I can confirm that there is an opinion about Russians abroad who go beyond the bounds of decency, even in 5 * hotels ... Noisy gatherings, fishing in a marina in a forbidden zone, to the shame of all Europeans - there is no way to escape from nature like this ... This is true, and all hoteliers greet Russians with horror and prepare the reception very carefully, then sometimes they observe either bloody scenes of jealousy or long legs of a girlfriend, and consider Russians a bit of snobs. Although there are very nice and educated people in our society who are always welcome and honored, such people usually leave good tips and are just pleasant to talk to. Good luck on the resorts...

In the Crimea, the Russian tourist behaves as if they had arrived there for the first and last time. One gets the impression that it's high to get screwed in a foreign land. I'm wondering, do you have the same dump in the cities that remains in the Crimea after the light brown-tourist?

Let's start with the fact that our country really lost a lot of smart, honest and intelligent people in 1917, in the 30s. (repression) and during the years of stagnation (emigration). And the second factor, in a sense of impunity and anonymity. We have a big country, maybe (!) no one will know, especially when it comes to those who, having come to live in a large city from a sparsely populated area and having rude a passerby on the street, are firmly convinced that this is not his acquaintance or acquaintance of an acquaintance. As for the Internet, which is even more impersonal than the telephone, it is perceived by many as a field for a splash of negative emotions.

The Austrians are worried because where our tourists are used to, other tourists stop going. Although ours bring money, they spoil the atmosphere of calmness, security and bring the spirit of familiarity, excesses, arrogance and arrogance. This is understandable, since many go on vacation on expensive tours, while they themselves live paycheck to paycheck. This is an unhealthy show.

funny, right! I was vacationing in the Canary Islands with my husband, but did not speak Russian. I heard this about myself: that foreigners are all freaks, what they want from us, the great ones, etc. At the same time, the company behaved like a pig, to put it mildly ... They don’t want anything from us Russians! Just behave yourself and show the culture of Chekhov, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.

That's right, even Belarusians try to choose hotels where there are no Russians. You, as rightly noted, invade the living space of other people. When they make a remark to you, you become aggressive and inadequate. Because this attitude towards you. Where you are - noise, obscenity, booze and garbage. You don't care about those around you. And if rich Russians are still tolerated for big money, then your middle class is a headache for everyone: both for hotels and for other vacationers. From where the Russian mass tourist comes, tourists from other countries very soon leave. Only you do not understand such subtleties)).

What can you talk about with a person who does not respect someone else's land? Dear Russians, who think that you can behave like a pig everywhere - the advice is to stay at home, spit on the ceiling, and do not ride around the world, disgracing your people! Good luck to all!

Gali Hensel Age 47, Europe
I agree with those who claim that a certain part of the "annealers" spoils the attitude towards all Russians indiscriminately. And all because all the other nations, if they get drunk, then peacefully "anneal" in their circle, without bullying anyone. In Germany, you can walk among the drunken Germans without any fear. If they fight, then only in their own circle, and they don’t bully anyone. And the Russians will get drunk - and let's be weird. They either want to punch someone unfamiliar in the face, or they start pestering unfamiliar citizens "to talk about life." Well, Russian pathos is a song ... How! We defeated everyone, defeated everyone, and if so, we will once again "arrange Stalingrad for them." So that they don’t fucking forget ... who’s here ... this one, what’s his name ... A familiar melody, right? :) In general, fame among Russians is something... There was a time, I worked part-time in a private hotel in Cologne. The hotel is small, family run. But they also had a "quota" for Russians - no more than one guest from Russia in HALF A YEAR! I don’t know what they had against the Russians there ... They didn’t report to me, but I didn’t really ask. When the people found out that I, so to speak, was originally Russian, they were surprised - for a year of work on the farm with access to the cash register, products and other "material values" I HAVE NOTHING STOLEN - what a glory about the Russians. Ordinary to tears, chess word! And those Russians who came every six months were quite decent people. Well, strange, of course. They look like wolves from under their foreheads, the ladies are all overdressed and in high heels, well, they don’t greet the maids and sit at breakfast, as if slammed with a dusty bag. But I think that this is not such a great sin, honestly ... The people from the reception neighed, gossiped and forgot. Well, our man does not smile, they did not accustom him. But after all, they set a quota for admission ... I think that such garbage is not in that one hotel.

The Italians are also very noisy, but do not thump. And they are much less. I'm talking about hotels where the middle class rests. I don't know about the rest. There are many Russians, Russia is big. You have enough staff. And one more thing - Russians prefer all-inclusive. It has been noticed that as soon as the hotel decides to focus on the Russians, it switches to all inclusive. Tips disappear from the staff and the level of service drops sharply.

Gali Hensel Age 47, Europe
Rest as you wish, dear ones. But just don’t complain and don’t be indignant that visas are given to you with a scratch, that the staff does not respect you, and that the measures for entering different countries are being tightened. Only one thing is a pity - along with you, all this negativity has to be chewed by those who do not drink to the squeal of a pig, who do not anneal and, in general, are quite civilized. Of course, you don't care about them. Before the prestige of Russia - too. The main thing is to get drunk. Then I agree with those who believe that there is no difference where to eat vodka - in Egypt, Turkey or at home.

We were in Austria for the New Year - the first week in the outback, where Russians are a rarity. Surprisingly friendly attitude, if you fall - be sure someone will stop and offer help. Second week - Zell am See. Solid Russian-speaking ... How embarrassing for their behavior ...

Olga 29 years old, Israel, Ashdod
I live in Israel. I can confirm - all the shit in our country speaks Russian. All organized crime, prostitutes, drug dealers. In firms run by Russians, employees are often deceived when paying salaries. Terribly ashamed of their nation. We inspire children - we are not Russians, we are Jews, so that we do not associate ourselves with this abomination.

MY COMMENT: When a Russian person, having received good money through corruption or looting or servility, does not feel like a self-sufficient master in Russia, he compensates for his inferiority complex with boorish behavior where he himself falls into the position of being served - in a foreign resort. And it burns to the fullest. But this is not the middle class, but the service class. The normal working middle class, to which I myself and my circle belong, follows the normal “Protestant ethics”, as in the whole world, and if he leaves to live and work in the West, he does not stand out against the general background in anything special. Perhaps he doesn’t walk around in holey socks, but he doesn’t allow himself to be outrageous in public places, unlike the Russian nouveau riche and his massive highly paid serf.

Commanders and naval commanders of the times of Catherine the Second 1. His talent was recognized in all European capitals. He was a brilliant strategist, articulating

in his book The Science of Victory, the essence of the military tactics used by him in the well-known triad: eye, speed, onslaught. 2. Catherine II appointed him commander of the Black Sea Fleet. He was the first to apply the tactics of the line boom at sea. Z. He participated in the Russian-Turkish war of 1787 - 1791. and commanded one of the advancing columns during the capture of the Turkish fortress of Izmail 4. He commanded a squadron of the Baltic Fleet. During the Russo-Turkish War, after the victory in the Chesme Bay, Catherine II awarded him the title of Count of Chesmensky. 5. GENERAL FIELD MARSHAL, THE HIGHEST PRINCE commanded the troops during the capture of the Ochakov fortress. By decree of the Empress, he was given the title of Prince of Tauride. b. In July 1770, the Turkish army was defeated by Russian troops under the command of this commander near the Larga River. 7. Commanded a squadron of the Baltic Fleet. His squadron circled Europe and on July 5, 1770, completely destroyed the Turkish squadron in the Chesmepa Bay. 8. Who commanded the Black Sea Fleet during the Russian-Turkish war of 1787-1891? 9. Who is Tadeusz Kosciuszko? 10. In the summer of 1770, battles took place near the Larga and Cahul rivers, in which the Russian troops defeated the Turkish ones. One hundred of the Russian commanders then declared that "our glory and dignity cannot endure to endure the presence of the enemy standing in our sight without stepping on him."

Every nation has its own characteristics. The “Russians”, by whom they mean all those who speak Russian abroad, have a particularly large number of them, and they are in many ways unique.

In this case, Russians mean those who live on the territory of Russia or in the countries of the former CIS. Because everyone's childhood was about the same, family traditions, customs, rules and signs - too.

1. Disputes for any reason

A Russian person loves to argue on a variety of issues, both private and general. A Russian person is often interested in a dispute not as a means of finding the truth, but as a mental exercise, as a form of emotional, sincere communication with each other. That is why, in Russian communicative culture, those who argue so often lose the thread of the dispute, easily deviate from the original topic.

2. Avral

In the past, Russia was a country of risky farming. A short agricultural cycle - 4-5 months - forced the farmer to constantly rush. Sowing and reaping turned into a real suffering, a battle for the harvest. That is why our people tend to work urgently when it is critical, and the rest of the time - to react to circumstances.

3. Fight to friendship

To fight, and then drink vodka together and literally fall in love with a recent opponent - this is our way. A fight is the highest form of solving interpersonal conflicts, and if it has already been completed, there is nothing to share.

4. Dress up before going to the store

The dress and heels are the perfect outfit for an ordinary woman's outing. Previously, this was called “going out to people”, and “going to people” cannot be sloppy - this is a sign of decadence and licentiousness.

5. Take a seat before the ride

When the suitcases are already packed, we usually pause to sit quietly for a minute before the trip. Many do not like this tradition, considering it a relic of paganism, but this "minute" simply gives a respite in the turmoil of fees. Plus, this is a tradition - before, and even now, believers always prayed before the road.

6. Say long toasts

Only the laziest Russian person will say a simple toast "For health" or something like that. We just have something to say.

7. Tell jokes as often as possible.

We can tell a story and in the middle say, “Oh! It’s like in that adekdote…”, and we will definitely tell it. Although no one asks us.

8. Congratulate each other after a shower or bath

Although according to the rules you need to wish each other a light steam before the bath, we say: “Enjoy your bath!” only after a bath or shower. It used to be a spell. It was supposed to protect the washing person from the machinations of the brownie living in the bathhouse.

9. Answer in detail the question “How are you?”

"How are you?" It is customary for foreigners to answer this duty question with the duty “OK, thank you!”. We are all wrong. Because “good” or “bad” are unambiguous concepts. Our man knows that nothing unambiguous in life does not happen. And this needs to be explained...

10. Don't smile at strangers

We don't smile at strangers. It's kind of weird for us. Because ours do not like falsehood. If a stranger smiles at you, this is hardly good, rather the opposite. Sincere smiles are for friends, relatives and loved ones.

11. Celebrate the New Year on a bigger scale than Christmas

Tree - for the New Year. Gifts for the New Year. New Year is the main winter holiday. Christmas is celebrated by far fewer people, and much more modestly. This is a consequence of decades of Soviet power, which in every possible way belittled the religious holiday. Before the revolution in Russia, Christmas was much more important than the New Year.

We often say phrases from Soviet films and cartoons, emphasizing or illustrating our thoughts and observations. Again, in the USSR it was very convenient, everyone looked and knew the same thing, the common cultural consumption led to a common vocabulary.

13. Calling all women "girl"

If we want to call the waitress, we shout "girl!" If we address a 40-year-old woman, we call her "girl". Any woman whom the tongue turns to call a “girl” is a girl for us. And everyone is happy. Because all these “madame”, “miss”, “lady”, “madame” and so on are overloaded with semantic meanings. You need to know who to contact. And you can't go wrong with a girl.

In addition, in Soviet times, the genderless “comrade” was considered an official address. "Girl" is still more affectionate and polite.

14. Sitting at the table for hours, constantly talking

We sit down at the table, have dinner and talk. Then we just talk, then we eat and talk some more, then we drink tea and talk, and even going home, we, standing on the threshold, talk for some more time. In general, we like to eat while talking, or talking while eating. In short, we love to eat and talk.

15. Never throw away bags

In every normal Russian, everyone has a package with packages. Thrift comes from poverty, which has been characteristic of our society for more than one century.

16. Never visit without a gift.

It can be a cake or wine for dinner, chocolate or flowers (provided that there is not an even number of them). In fact, it doesn’t matter what exactly, the main thing is to bring something. Because “well, you won’t come empty-handed” is disrespect for the owners of the house.

17. When stirring tea, leave the spoon in the cup

With a spoon, the tea cools much faster. Plus, it tastes so much better, any Russian will tell you that.

18. Give an odd number of flowers for the holidays, and bring an even number to the funeral

Pagan beliefs interpret even numbers as symbols of death and evil. Remember the saying "trouble never comes alone"?
Many ancient cultures associated paired numbers with completeness, completion, in this case, the life path. In other countries, flowers are usually sold by the dozen: half a dozen, a dozen, etc.

19. Celebrate the Old New Year

The Old New Year is a rare historical phenomenon, an additional holiday that resulted from a change in the chronology. Due to this discrepancy in calendars, we celebrate two "New Years" - according to the old and new styles. By the twentieth century, the calendar of Russia, which continued to use the Julian calendar, was 13 days behind Europe, which had long since switched to the Gregorian calendar. To narrow this gap, in 1918 they switched to the Gregorian calendar - a new style.

20. Take a steam bath with a broom

The broom performed an important function in the house of Russian people, even in pre-Christian times. They drove away evil spirits. A broom placed against the wall served as a kind of amulet. The broom drove out the disease from the body, from where the tradition of bathing with him in the bath came from. In fact, whipping with a broom is a religious rite, and you can wash yourself at the same time.

21. Heart-to-heart conversations

It is very difficult for a foreigner to explain what it is ... Russian people love to pour out, even “turn out” their soul in front of an interlocutor, they are not shy about doing this, they are not shy about telling about their innermost; they can pour out their hearts to an outsider, a fellow traveler on a train. Net communication, adopted in the West, usually carries a certain disapproving connotation in Russian word usage - it means unreal, official, far-fetched, insincere.

22. Pay for women in a restaurant

Russia is a rather patriarchal country where many old stereotypes are still alive. According to them, a man is a breadwinner, and a woman goes to the strongest, able to provide decent food for her and her offspring. Therefore, male generosity, willingness to feed (read: pay) is a manifestation of strength and power. This is the same as letting the ladies go ahead or giving way to her.

Now many social roles have blurred, but some traditions continue to live without any logical explanations. It's just accepted.

23. And yet ...

, .

Without special reasons, he never changed the order of his studies. Everywhere he devoted the morning to reading, extracts, drawing up plans or other mental work. Rising early, he immediately set to work. Without finishing his morning work, he was afraid to get dressed, so as not to prematurely leave the study for a walk. Before dinner, which he put off until the evening, he took a walk in any weather ... He liked to write poetry mainly in the fall ...

P. A. Pletnev

He rushed about in a dream and in reality for whole years with some creature, and when it matured in him, appeared before his spirit already created completely, then it poured out in a fiery stream into words and speech: the metal instantly freezes in the air, and the creation is ready.

Work was sacred to him, a font in which ulcers were healed... When he sensed a touch of inspiration, when he set to work, he calmed down, matured, was reborn...

P. A. Vyazemsky

Of all the seasons, he loved autumn most of all, and the worse it was, the better for him. He said that only in autumn the demon of poetry took possession of him, and told about this how he had written the last poem at that time: “Poltava”. It was in Petersburg. The weather was disgusting. He sat at home, writing all day. Poems he dreamed even in his sleep, so that he jumped out of bed at night and wrote them down in the dark. When hunger seized him, he ran to the nearest tavern, the poems pursued him there too, he ate in haste, whatever he got, and ran home to write down what he got on the run and at dinner. In this way he composed hundreds of verses a day. Sometimes thoughts that did not fit into poetry were written down by him in prose. But then the finishing followed, in which not even a fourth part of the sketches remained ... Despite, however, such work, he finished Poltava, I remember, in three weeks ...

M. V. Yuzefovich

How did Pushkin himself talk about his work, about inspiration? Let's read the lines of his poetic memoirs:

In sweet silence
I am sweetly lulled by my imagination,
And poetry awakens in me:
The soul is embarrassed by lyrical excitement,

It trembles and sounds, and searches, as in a dream,
Finally pour out free manifestation -
And then an invisible swarm of guests comes to me,
Old acquaintances, fruits of my dreams.

And the thoughts in my head are worried in courage,
And light rhymes run towards them,
And fingers ask for a pen, pen for paper,
A minute - and the verses will flow freely ...

(1) Yakonov climbed the path through the wasteland, not noticing where, not noticing the rise. (2) And the legs are tired, dislocating from bumps. (3) And then from the high place where he wandered, he already looked around with reasonable eyes, trying to understand where he was. (4) The ground underfoot is in fragments of brick, in rubble, in broken glass, and some kind of rickety plank shed or booth in the neighborhood, and the fence remaining below around a large area for unstarted construction. (5) And in this hill, which had undergone a strange desolation not far from the center of the capital, white steps went up, about seven in number, then stopped and began, it seems, again. (6) Some kind of dull memory wavered in Yakonov at the sight of these white steps, and where the steps led was poorly distinguished in the darkness: a building of a strange shape, at the same time, as it were, destroyed and survived. (7) The staircase went up to wide iron doors, closed tightly and knee-deep in packed rubble. (8)Yes! (9)Yes! (10) A shattering memory spurred Yakonov. (11) He looked back. (12) Marked by rows of lanterns, the river wound far below, with a strangely familiar bend going under the bridge and further to the Kremlin. (13) But the bell tower? (14) She is not. (15) Or are these piles of stone from the bell tower? (16) Yakonov felt hot in his eyes. (17) He closed his eyes, sat down quietly. (18) On the stone fragments that filled up the porch. (19) Twenty-two years ago, in this very place, he stood with a girl named Agnia. (20) That same autumn, in the evening, they walked along the alleys near Taganskaya Square, and Agnia said in her quiet voice, which was hard to hear in the city rumble:

-(21) Do you want me to show you one of the most beautiful places in Moscow?

(22) And she led him to the fence of a small brick church, painted in white and red paint and facing the altar in a curved nameless alley. (23) Inside the fence it was crowded, there was only a narrow path for the procession around the church. (24) And right there, in the corner of the fence, an old large oak tree grew, it was taller than the church, its branches, already yellow, overshadowed both the dome and the alley, which made the church seem quite tiny.

- (25) This is the church, - said Agnia.

- (26) But not the most beautiful place in Moscow.

- (27) Wait.

(28) She led him to the porch of the main entrance, went out of the shadows into the stream of sunset and sat on the low parapet, where the fence broke off and the gap for the gate began.

-(29) So look!

(30) Anton gasped. (31) They fell out of the gorge of the city and reached a steep height with a spacious open distance. (32) The river burned in the sun. (33) Zamoskvorechye lay on the left, dazzling with a yellow sheen of glass, almost underfoot the Yauza flowed into the Moscow River, on the right behind it rose the carved contours of the Kremlin, and even further away five red-gold domes of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior flared in the sun. (34) And in all this golden radiance, Agnes, in a thrown yellow shawl, also seemed golden, sat squinting in the sun.

- (35) Yes! (Zb) This is Moscow! Anton said excitedly.

- (37) But she - leaves, Anton, - Agnia sang. - Moscow - leaves! ..

- (38) Where does she go there? (39) Fantasy.

- (40) This church will be demolished, Anton, - Agnia repeated her.

-(41) How do you know? - Anton got angry. - (42) This is an artistic monument, they will leave it like a drink.

(43) He looked at a tiny bell tower, through the slot of which oak branches peered into the bells.

-(44) Will be demolished! Agnia prophesied confidently, still sitting motionless, in the yellow light and in the yellow shawl.

(45) Yakonov woke up. (46) Yes, ... they destroyed the hipped bell tower and turned the stairs descending to the river. (47) I couldn’t even believe that that sunny evening and this December dawn took place on the same square meters of Moscow land. (48) But the view from the hill was still far, and the windings of the river were the same, repeated by the last lanterns ...
