Hi All!!! I'm in this topic would like to talk and find out the truth about the myths (About America and Russia)Sorry for my English!!!!I'll answer any questions that will be asked of me!But please, not the wars and the policy of " I hate it!!!!
Myths Russians hold about America: everyone is prosperous and lives in two-story houses (коттедж), and the country is one of the most wealthy in the world. The education and medical systems are the best in the world (WRONG!!!). Everything is very advanced. Демократия! (Democracy rules.) But the government is overly-influenced by lobbyists. Well, I guess that last one isn't a myth.
Myths Americans hold about Russia: nothing has changed since the Soviet Union. It's still a broken down mess of a country. The men are mafia, the young women are prostitutes. Aeroflot is a very dangerous airline, you risk your life if you fly Aeroflot. Siberia is very cold.
Sorry Grey, but...you asked.
Here's a question for you. Why is everyone so fixated on America? Canada, being a somewhat socialist country, also a northern country, and Sweden for the same reasons, are much better models for Russia. The old obsession with Amerika still holds sway.
There is no mafia in Russia does not thrive - is a myth. On the streets as in any other country calmly.(as well as everywhere there are hooligans and swindlers, but it is not mafia) Girls like in any other country there are various good and there is bad.Why think about America. I think because we had also a little know how and for us to You. And the fact that this is also a big country. No one would think that in America all live in the cottages. - it is also a myth. In America, more without домных than in Russia on statistics. But the level of life in something you have it better. But you live on credit from the state (or is it a myth?) and are afraid of losing their jobs and everything else. In Russia less worries about career, more about the family. And people live in different ways. In Russia think that the best medicine is Japan (for the reason that during the 2 world war, the Japanese conducted many experiments over the Russians and other peoples) even more than the Germans! Some of that in Russia the best in medicine, some of that in America
The Russians think that Russian education is better than American. The reason is America teaches us that want to students.(highly specialized) Russia teaches all of Sciences (regardless of need in life or not) School education of Russia is the primary education in the Universities of America.(friends studied in an exchange program in Montana)

Americans are far more fixated on "work" and "success", which many equate to having a bunch of expensive "stuff".
But there is a plus in the U.S. in the fact that it is possible for a short time to get a few specialties. Especially if I say don't like Humanities or Vice versa, I love technical
Credit cards come from private companies/banks, not the state. Yes, people live on credit.
What do you mean, in the schools boys and girls go in pairs? Do you mean, in high school, some boys and girls have boyfriends/girlfriends, and it's allowed to walk together? It's allowed only outside of the classroom.
The schools in Russia seem very good, the teachers are highly trained in teaching methods. The main problem is that there are not enough qualified English teachers. The English teachers in rural areas generally are poorly prepared.
The Japanese did medical experiments on Russians during the war? On Russian prisoners of war, or how did they do experiments on Russians?
