If anyone still has questions on the subject of "Why foreigners think bears roam our streets and bast shoes are the most common footwear," I don’t. I get it now. Want to understand too? Repeat my experiment: 1. Go to the Yahoo server. 2. Click on the Video section. 3. Type russia into the search bar. .....and the first link you get, sitting there in the upper left corner, vividly demonstrates to any foreigner what Russia is all about: Attention: Alexeï Fadeev, Golden Voice of Russia Alexeï Fadeev was the leader of the most popular Rock Group of URSS, "FORWARD". He still compose and give concert all over Europa. Alexei Fadeev, the golden voice of Russia He was the leader of the most popular (!!!!) rock group in the USSR, "Forward" (?!). Well then, let’s not panic and click on the video itself! (I’m not posting it here so as not to traumatize the readers of my friends feed) And there you have it. Mother Russia. Some guy vaguely resembling Maxim Kononenko, dressed in a kosovorotka (a traditional Russian shirt). Standing in a dim hall. With balalaikas in the background!!!!!!!!!!! And bellowing something in a heart-rending voice. After that, you will have absolutely no doubt that in Russia: - children are given vodka from kindergarten onward (for their afternoon snack) - any trip longer than a kilometer is made by sleigh - every evening everyone goes to the banya (Russian bathhouse), where after drinking, fighting, and all-around debauchery they sing long, mournful songs.
