The myth is that everyone here is always drunk on vodka and people all ride bears, play on balalaikas and dance the kazachok and that we’re either drunk or mad.

  • While there IS a problem with alcoholism, a lot of people don’t drink, especially not vodka.
  • Funnily enough, bears do appear, but VERY rarely. And the people that ride bears or have them as pets? They’re considered unusual by other Russians.
  • Balalaika is dead I know one person that plays it and thats it
  • We dance the kazachok only ironically at this point lol
  • We’re not always mad. We’re. Just people. With emotions.
  • But, ushankas ARE great and warm, so people do wear them – not ALL of them though.
  • Also we’re not all superpeople
