About Russians

If you live somewhere in the “West”, you may often hear or read something bad about Russians. What you hear and read is mostly “something like truth”.  Mostly these “news” are presented in a way, so that they cause bad opinnion about Russia. I personally don’t like it. Therefore I found the following citation interesting, funny and truth. Vyacheslav Nikonov, a prominent Russian commentator, has quoted his Canadian friend, who came up with the following explanation of Russophobia: The main problem is that these Russians have white skin. If they had been green, or pink, or came from Mars…or had flowers sticking out of their ears, then everybody would have said – well, these people are different, like Turks, or Chinese, or Japanese. We have no questions about the Japanese. They are different, their civilisation is different. But these Russians … they are white but they have totally different brains … which is thoroughly suspicious.
