Всем привет. Ситуация такая: я в 5 классе, недавно сглупил и назвал одноклассницу прыщавой. Быстро понял, что перегнул палку, поэтому несколько раз искренне извинился перед ней. Она прощать отказалась — я принял это и просто перестал с ней общаться. Но на этом всё не закончилось. Её друзья начали писать мне в личку и в общий чат класса, требуя «извиняться 100 раз, пока не простит». Дальше пошли прямые угрозы: мне около 4 раз написали, что «повесят на дверь» и изобьют. В общем чате начали грубить про мою маму, а в личке закидывали оскорблениями и спамом даже после того, как я закрыл диалог. Самое обидное — классный руководитель встала на их сторону, сказала мне «успокойся, тебя никто не убьет» и вызвала родителей в школу из-за моего первого слова. Я сохранил все скриншоты с угрозами и травлей и в понедельник собираюсь показать их директору вместе с мамой. Друзья советуют искать компромисс, но я считаю, что угрозы расправой и мое обзывательство — это вообще несоразмерные вещи. Правильно ли я делаю, что собираюсь идти с доказательствами к директору? Меня неоднократно буллили

Hello! Привет!!!!

I’m studying Russian and starting to fall in love with the country and its multiculturalism. I’d love to learn about some interesting facts, urban legends, traditional folklore and other cool things to be found all across the country.

Russian or not Russian brand.

And, what's the difference between kvas of eastern and western Russia? Are them all with alcohol?

So I have been big big fan of Russian weather since I was 6 I'm planning to visit Russia next month solo traveling on private visa, is there any issues I can face while camping? I want to do snow camping in Siberia region with my girlfriend. Will it be safe as a foreigner?

So I want to move to Russia and there i got a job offer, however I need for a certain job in Russia a certificate of renounciation or absence of Ukrainian citizenship since I was born there (better said certificate of absence of dual citizenship but my country doesn't make those) and I would like to know if getting one could bring me legal trouble in Russi? So if it would count as financing a hostile state since I would have to pay the Ukrainian consulate in my country money to get it the certificate.

Not a troll question or anything, I know the topic is sensitive but I just want answers.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently learning Russian and have been actively looking for some language exchange partners. I’m a lesbian, and some of my recent experiences have left me a bit confused, so I wanted to ask for your opinion.

I've basically encountered two types of reactions when people find out I'm gay:

First, I met a few people who were overtly homophobic and used really bad words about gay men. But strangely, they told me they were completely fine with lesbians. This confused me, because I always assumed that supporting or opposing the LGBTQ+ community usually applies across all genders...

Secondly, I’ve met people who explicitly told me they are "fine with gays" and they are not homophobic. However, when the conversation naturally shifts to my daily life—like sometimes I like to casually mention my dating life or my relationship issues—the vibe suddenly gets a lit awkward. They don't have much to say, the conversation stalls, and it feels like they just want to distance themselves or end the chat.

It made me realize that maybe just saying "I'm not homophobic" doesn't necessarily mean that person is actually "gay-friendly" or comfortable hearing about a gay relationship.

Is this an accurate read? In Russian culture, does "not homophobic" just mean "I tolerate it as long as you don't talk about it"?...

I’d love to hear your thoughts so I can better understand the culture and navigate finding more compatible language partners. Thanks!

Hello, I'm an Indian medical student in russia studying in MRSU, saransk.

Ребята, подскажите пожалуйста лучшие варианты -- в этот момент -- для перевода с западного счета (Великобритании) в российский (Мир, и тд) .

Заранее благодарю 🙏

He performed this a while back with a hologram too.

Idk if anyone cares to discuss this topic :))

Timati was v popular in the Baltic states when I was a teenager and we listened to him a lot (don’t shoot me)

I’m American. As well as Russian culture, I’m also fascinated by Chechens, their culture, language, history, etc. And I want to visit Grozny one day. But from a Russian perspective, what do y’all think of Chechnya/Grozny as a tourist destination? What were your experiences if y’all have visited there.

Hi everyone! I’m just curious what some popular tourist destinations are, both domestic and international, that are (somewhat) unique to Russians?

In Canada for example, people often travel domestically to the Vancouver area for milder weather and to experience the city; internationally, they frequent Cuba more than any other country in the world with over a million Canadians visiting every year.

Where do Russians like to visit more than anyone else? :)

I know a siberian girl who dreams of vacationing to Italy and Turkey.

I understand the attractive of Italy, but why Turkey?, Im Mexican and to my eyes is like someone wanting to visit Somalia or Uzbekistan as an attractive vacation place

Any takes on it?

They fly in russia. Some can fly in air shows like the other aircraft in the past?

I live in the Midwestern part of the United States and most women here despise winter. Men either like it or are indifferent. Is winter looked upon similarly in Russia, where women hate it for the most part? Or is it something most look forward to?

Do men not go in labor and delivery with their women?
My Partner is claiming he's not going to be in the room with me as I give birth. He is from Russia and says thats not the norm there.
I am 32 weeks pregnant and he is trying to say he is not. I do not believe in that. We are in America sorry but I think its cowardice to not be a part of the moment you helped create. I respect every cultural difference but this seems like a lack of support.

70% divorce rate, also cheating is common.

But how many open relationships are out there?

I have always been interested in Russian culture, but I feel that in the West, we actually know very little about it. I would like to learn about folk myths, key historical figures, the Russian mindset, and so on. Essentially, I want to explore Russian culture in greater depth. For now, I plan to read the poems and works of Pushkin, as I know he is the most beloved author in Russia.

I'm a chinese korean woman living in Canada. The times I've interacted with a Russian person as a classmate or hobby member, I noticed our teamwork or chemistry gets along very well. Our English speaking comprehension may not be the best, but our kinesthetic intelligence, pacing, and manners work very compatibily.

Even just walking by each other, I noticed Russians and I often stare longer at each other but it never feels judgmental or awkward, always appreciative. It often makes me shy because they aura is so pure and intense.

One time, a philosophy professor made the class participate in a "split or steal" experiment. The only ones in the class who played "split" were the two Russian friends and me. Each person had two rounds with random partners, I lost both trying to split.

One of the guys walked past me on campus, smiled, and greeted me with my name. I never even introduced myself, so he must've only saw my name tag when we did the class experiment. It's been years since I was university but I still think about it.

I’m in the United States and it’s nearly impossible to find an objective book about this man. It’s all garbage. I need a thorough book about his life, nothing more, nothing less.

Okay this is probably a stupid question but is it a good idea to study in Russia as of currently? Because for the longest time I’ve always wanted to study in Russia and pursue a further study there however I’m doing my research about the situation in Russia.

Some people tell me it’s fine, some people tell me to bring flowers to the funeral. I just need some advice or opinions on this matter?

I plan to take pure biology or applied biology in Russia and yes I’m willing to learn Russian (and I am slowly, I’m not the best because cs has only taught me how to swear at someone in Russian) and I’ve been told courses like those will be taught mainly in Russian as well.

Last time I've been to Tehran was back in late 2023. They were there but so were the Chinese and Koreans and Africans and some Europeans and even Americans. A lot has happened since then. Two wars in one year would discourage any tourists from visiting Iran. I could be wrong. I'm wondering if anyone you know has traveled to Iran or intends to do so.

Hello everyone! I'm 22 and from Portugal and in the beggining of this year I met a girl from Russia online and you probably know how the story goes.

She's from Tomsk, and we will be meeting in Istanbul, Turkey for the first time this january, with her father coming along to get to know me as well. We're gonna spend a week together and my wish was (if we have properly established trust), to go back with her on the plane to Novosibirsk, and spent a week both there and in Tomsk.

Thing is, I've spoken with some russian people who live here in Portugal (family friends and such) and they all advise me that this is not safe at all, that because I'm on medication and the authorities can be unpredictable there's a lot that could go wrong, and if it did, there would be no real way for me to get any sort of legal help since our embassies and consulates warn that their power is extremely weakened.

I know you guys get a lot of questions regarding safety and such all the time, it's annoying to hear a 1000th one, but I'm not absurdely experienced with travel, and I want to hear the perspective of the people in this subreddit about this.

As it stands (from the talks I've had) it seems like too much of a risk for me to take, but I want to visit her and see her hometown very bad. I know there's a lot of propaganda and misinformation, so I want you guys' unbiased views and opinions, while still asking for respect as this post comes from a place of vulnerability.

It's very difficult for me to accomodate the idea of not being able to meet her family, and see the place she grew up in...

Thank you all for your atention!

Edit: I'm suprised about your questions regarding this being a scam, I didn't expect to get so many ahahah.

I just have to say that if it was a scam it would be the most elaborate ever. We've talking, calling and videocalling almost every day since may. She constantly sends me pictures and videos of her life, I've seen her rooms, her house, her little brother. We've had some rocky patches, it's not like she's a perfect woman or me a perfect man. She was terrified to tell her parents initially and while it ended up being a struggle, they ended up being ok with the Istanbul plan for us to meet, but it's on their own terms.

I know it can seem like a red flag when a twenty two year old starts dating online like this, but I promise you guys, we've both involved our families in our relationship, my mom knows her, my sister knows her, her parents know me, if you don't trust my judgement at least trust my parents who have done their research and have absolutely no doubts about her being "real".

Is there anywhere that sells geniune set of all the medals that Wagner PMC issued ?

I see odd ones on Ebay etc but unsure if they are fake

I used to be able to transfer money from a foreign bank card to my YooMoney account in the app. Now this topup method is shown as temporarely unavailable and support said they are working on resolving the issue.

1. Since when is this method unavailable?

2. When will it be available again? (weeks, months, never?)
