I still can’t understand why do we, Russians, avoid our compatriots when abroad. Shame for me, but even I sometimes make a wry face when I hear “that typical accent”.
In every country there are dozens of national communties: Chinese try to help every newbie coming to town, Italians built their “little Italy” just to feel like home. What do we have? Brighton beach, where people think they left Soviet union. We believe that Russian emigrants are the ones you should never deal with, if don’t want to be fooled.
I have no idea what the matter is.

Dear Angry Russian, I will surely download your book of travel stories from some torrent-tracker when you’ll publish one!!

Marina, I do love my motherland too – which doesn’t mean I can’t complain about it. Russians are the worst Russophobes in the world, but when some other nation tries to keep up the ball, they’re in big trouble. And, very true, Russians are much more intelligent than Brits. What’s more important is our critical approach to everything aka bullshit filter fine-tuned in decades of indoctrination. Your average Brit is amazingly gullible and believes everything he’s being told on the telly. But you can’t fool us!

Jaime, I AM a travel writer And yes they did, which had a somewhat adverse effect on my level of angriness. This rant was supposed to be much, much angrier!

Considering the comments on Camelshitistan and the alcoholic saggy-titted motherland, I think you would be a wonderful travel writer, Angry Russian!

Oh and you still haven’t told us if the Dark Masters in the UK Border Agency renewed your visa or not!

Hahaha very entertaining, and I agree with most of the above. However, I do love Russia and there is a lot of good about it.

“У ней особенная стать, в Россию можно только верить…”

Russians analyze things and think deeper than your average English person does. They feel more passionately, firecely and more genuinely. Their emotions can be wild, untamed and chaotic, but at least they have it unlike here, in England where having an emotion is a sin…
