2) The resistance of camels to thirst is due to the fact that they are able to lose up to a quarter of their body weight due to water, and moisture in their blood is retained in much greater quantities than in other animals.

(6) Some kind of dull memory swayed in Yakonov at the sight of these white steps, and where the steps led was difficult to discern in the darkness: a building of a strange shape, at the same time seemingly destroyed and surviving. (7) The stairs went up to wide iron doors, tightly closed and knee-deep in packed rubble. (8) Yes! (9) Yes! (10) The striking memory spurred Yakonov. (11) He looked around. (12) Marked by rows of lanterns, the river wound far below, going in a strangely familiar bend under the bridge and further to the Kremlin. (13) But the bell tower? (14) She is not there. (15) Or are these piles of stone from the bell tower? (16) Yakonov felt hot in his eyes. (17) He closed his eyes and sat down quietly. (18) On the stone fragments that covered the porch. (19) Twenty-two years ago, in this very place, he stood with a girl whose name was Agnia. (20) That same autumn, in the evening, they walked along the alleys near Taganskaya Square, and Agnia said in her quiet voice, which was difficult to hear in the rumbling of the city:
- (21) Do you want me to show you one of the most beautiful places in Moscow?
(22) And she led him to the fence of a small brick church, painted in white and red paint and facing the altar in a crooked, nameless alley. (23) It was crowded inside the fence; there was only a narrow path for the procession around the church. (24) And right there, in the corner of the fence, a large old oak tree grew, it was taller than the church, its branches, already yellow, shaded both the dome and the alley, making the church seem completely tiny.
“(25) This is the church,” said Agnia.
- (26) But not the most beautiful place in Moscow.
- (27) Wait.
(28) She led him to the porch of the main entrance, walked out of the shadows into the stream of sunset and sat down on the low parapet, where the fence broke and the gap for the gate began.
-(29) So look!
(30) Anton gasped. (31) They fell out of the gorge of the city and came out to a steep height with a spacious open distance. (32) The river burned in the sun. (33) To the left lay Zamoskvorechye, blinding with the yellow shine of glass, the Yauza flowed into the Moscow River almost underfoot, to the right behind it rose the carved contours of the Kremlin, and even further away the five red-gold domes of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior blazed in the sun. (34) And in all this golden radiance, Agnia, in a thrown yellow shawl, who also seemed golden, sat, squinting in the sun.
- (35) Yes! (Zb) This is Moscow! - Anton said excitedly.
- (37) But she is leaving, Anton, - Agnia sang. - Moscow is leaving!..
- (38) Where does she go there? (39) Fantasy.
“(40) This church will be demolished, Anton,” Agnia repeated.
-(41) How do you know? - Anton got angry. - (42) This is an artistic monument, they’ll leave it like that.
(43) He looked at the tiny bell tower, through the slots of which oak branches peered into the bells.
-(44) They will demolish it! - Agnia prophesied confidently, sitting still as motionless, in the yellow light and in a yellow shawl.
(45) Yakonov woke up. (46) Yes, ... they destroyed the tented bell tower and turned around the stairs going down to the river. (47) I couldn’t even believe that that sunny evening and that December dawn took place on the same square meters of Moscow land. (48) But the view from the hill was still far away, and there were the same windings of the river, repeated by the last lanterns...
(According to A. Solzhenitsyn*)
Why was the battle with the Swedes especially important for the Russian troops? Support your answer with evidence from history. What examples from the text confirm that this is a historical battle?
Answer
In 1706, the Polish king Augustus II renounced the Polish crown. After this victory, Charles the Twelfth with the main forces decided to go to Moscow through Warsaw, Minsk, Smolensk. But at the border, the Swedish king encountered strong resistance and turned to Ukraine to give the troops a break. The 16,000-strong corps of General Levengaupt came out from Riga to help the king, but was defeated by the flying detachment of Peter the Great. Charles, having received no support, continued to move deeper into Ukraine, where Hetman Ivan Mazepa, who dreamed of a “Grand Duchy of Ukraine” headed by himself, promised the king support with an army and food. But the A.D. squad Menshikov took the city of Baturin, Mazepa’s stronghold. Karl's attempts to reach the Moscow direction were repulsed by Russian troops.
Then the Swedes decided to besiege Poltava, where there were supplies of food and ammunition and where there were unprotected roads. The dilapidated fortress of Poltava withstood the siege for three months thanks to the courage of the garrison, consisting of six and a half thousand people. In July, Peter the Great arrived with the main forces. On July 27, 1709, the Poltava “battle” began, ending with the defeat of the Swedes. Karl and Mazepa fled to Turkey. Having actually lost its land army, Sweden retained a powerful fleet in the Baltic and continued the war.
From the text of Pushkin’s poem we understand that we are talking about a historical battle: the poet mentions the names of Swedish and Russian commanders (Rosen, Schlippenbach, Sheremetev, Bruce, Bour, Repnin), accurately describes the course of the battle, using realistic details (for example: “cast iron balls” “they hiss in the blood”; the horse, “Sensing the fatal fire / Trembling”).
There is a growing conviction among Europeans that quotas must be introduced for vacationers from Russia, otherwise their too noticeable presence offends public morality.
Being a European according to the “Protestant ethic”, which guides me in everyday life, with disgust, like the Europeans themselves, I perceive the behavior of my disgruntled compatriots both abroad and often in Moscow. The tone is set by “New Russian pigs” like those who “distinguished themselves” in Courchevel, but their servants usually behave indecently. And just as Russians in Russia often disapprove of the behavior of migrants (“churok”) from the wilder south, so Europeans are irritated by the antics and manners of the Russian nouveau riche.
The fact is that the money goes to the Russian nouveau riche and their servants not through hard work, as in classical bourgeois society, but through the robbery and looting of their own country, sanctioned by the organized ruling group. And what comes easily is easily spent. And a typical European, who grew up on the matrix of the “Protestant ethic” with its cult of labor to gain success in life as evidence of God’s chosenness, treats the dubious “Russians” who easily enrich themselves, even if they generously throw in tips, with internal contempt and disgust. This is how the Arab petrodollar sheikhs and their numerous servants were treated a generation ago, and normal Arabs still cannot wash themselves of the shameful reputation that the Arab nouveau riche once earned. The current negative attitude of Western (and even Eastern) people towards tourists from Russia is all the more offensive since many millions of Russian emigrants, including those who left for permanent residence in various Western countries relatively recently, are quickly adapting to the understandable and rational norms of the “Protestant ethic” and live about the same, if not better financially, as local citizens. We are the same as all other people, but the regime in our country, which determines the style of behavior of its subjects, is so retrograde and pathological that it cannot help but distort the psyche of modern Russian people. As is the pop, so is the arrival.
A number of recent publications in Russian newspapers are encouraging - the problem seems to be recognized and is beginning to reach public opinion. Not everyone in Russia is mired in swinishness; many are also offended for their fallen fellow tribesmen, just like me.
Evgeny Arsyukhin writes about this in the article “What can be seen through holes in socks: Western millionaires are simple in everyday life, but ours amaze the world with mind-blowing expenses” (Rossiyskaya Gazeta, February 9, 2007 http://www.rg.ru/2007/02/ 09/millioner.html):
“The other day, the head of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz, went to a mosque in the Turkish city of Edirne. Taking off his shoes, he showed the world the holes in his socks. And later at the market he made the impression worse by borrowing 150 euros from the security guard for a souvenir. This story begs the question: why are their millionaires simple in their everyday lives to the point of stinginess, while ours amaze humanity with mind-boggling personal spending? If we limit ourselves to moralizing, then this text can be ended right there. Because in fact there are many reasons, they are complex and are unlikely to lie only in morality.
All Russian millionaires are alike, Western ones are very different. The thriftiness of American and Canadian millionaires (Mr. Wolfowitz is an American) reaches the point of absurdity, and their wives keep notebooks of expenses like students. A suit - no more than 400 dollars, shoes - no more than 150 (which are intensively repaired until completely worn out). The house is the same one in which you lived when you were not a millionaire, the most modest (by US standards) car (no more than 25 thousand) and the same wife (despite the fact that 80 percent of rich Russians get divorced around 40 years old in order to find someone younger). But the millionaire will never skimp on strong shares and on education for children, who, by the way, are kept in a black body until the death of their father. The Germans are very similar to the moneybags of the New World, with the difference that they are younger and even more aggressive in business.
But the British look like Russians. Their conditions are mostly hereditary, hence the feeling of caste and the need to maintain this caste by appearing at expensive parties and playing ruinous sports like polo. But paying tribute to prejudices, the same Englishmen save even more harshly, and a servant buying a shirt for a “master” from an Indian for two pounds is a common thing. Swedish moneybags are considered the leaders in stinginess. Furniture from Ikea, food from semi-finished products, a house outside the city with an area of 20 (!) square meters, plus a 10-year-old car.
Psychologists see the reason for the stinginess of the Western rich in the fact that, with rare exceptions, they have “made themselves,” and over decades. In the USA and Canada people get rich before retirement, in Europe - earlier, but at the cost of exhausting, even by American standards, labor. Hence the sacred belief of Americans that those who spend less and save a lot are richer.
Newspapers are full of advice - save 10-20 percent of your income. Many people follow the advice, which is why there are a lot of millionaires in the USA. You could evict everyone from New York, populate the city only with American millionaires, and still not have enough. However, in Germany, every 80th person is a millionaire.
Needless to say, in Russia, by definition, there are no people who have saved money for 30-40 years. And they are unlikely to appear, given that inflation in our country is five times higher, and rates on bank deposits do not even allow it to be “beaten off”. But our moneybags appear as if out of nowhere. Read the official biography of anyone - it is impossible to understand from it where everything came from. Only in recent years have people appeared about whom, with a stretch, it can be said that they “made themselves.” I personally know several such millionaires. But it’s better not to ask them the question about start-up capital. And against the backdrop of all-Russian chic, they are considered, at best, “simply wealthy.”
Even under Ivan the Terrible, the English envoys were surprised that the tsar was served so many dishes that a person could not even try, and what was not eaten went from the table to the trash. The British simply forgot that three centuries earlier they had the same thing. This is called "conspicuous spending" and is considered a characteristic of feudalism. Feudalism has long passed, but the tendency to shock remains. Why?
First of all, it happened not that long ago. Even under Nicholas II, real feudalism reigned in the village, and the collective farm was not a feudal estate? Secondly, the roots of this feudal habit are important. Feudal lord - he doesn't work. And he doesn’t value his money.
It is impossible to say that our rich people do not work. But let's think: how many American millionaires could afford a two-week vacation in Courchevel? Two weeks in the USA is a standard vacation for staff, but moneybags don’t have it at all, as well as the “relaxation” after work that is typical for our elite.
Labor cannot be measured in time. This is an argument for those who foam at the mouth when praising their patron: they say he doesn’t have time to wash his hands. But labor experts have long noticed that the lion's share of the Russian rich's working time is spent on "grating", that is, tedious negotiations with officials and bandits, as well as on petty control of subordinates. Thus, the head of one large company stays up late simply because he personally signs payments, not trusting his financial director. He doesn't do anything else.
The rich are not loved anywhere. But in different ways. In Russia and France: “May you die.” In the USA: “Someday I will become such a bastard.”
Loyalty to the rich in the United States has a much more prosaic reason. If in Russia you and Roman Abramovich pay 13 percent in taxes, then in the United States the average millionaire shares with the budget five times more intensely than a typical manager. One percent of the US population provides a third of tax revenues to the federal budget, and together with another 10 percent of people from among the “ordinary millionaires” they fill the country’s coffers by two-thirds. At the same time, the middle class, while earning 45 percent of the US money, gives the treasury only 10 percent of its volume. And since in the USA people monitor the budget (the budget of the city of Los Angeles is 15 volumes, available on the Internet to anyone, the budget of an average Russian city is a brochure at most), everyone understands perfectly well: hospitals, roads, schools - from their oligarchs’ money.
In this regard, attempts to push our business into some kind of “charity” are ridiculous. Why remember the Morozovs and Tretyakovs when the problem can be solved through a progressive tax? However, he is not there, and his absence is presented as a blessing. Draw your own conclusions.
A million for a show-off - Russian rich people first surprised the world with their provocative spending. Now they're more likely to make you laugh. Take the same Courchevel. The Western oligarch will not go there. The hotels are old, the pools are dirty, there is no entertainment other than skiing, the service is disgusting, the staff is rude. Also for me, “price - quality”.
Our people pay colossal sums for this squalor, and are even proud of it. Why? The resort was known as “status” in the sense that “everyone is ours there.” And this is more expensive than Paris with its mass. Wealth in Russia is made from personal connections. Not on education, not on hard work, but like this - “to turn up in time” to another rich person or official. And all the potential oligarchs are just busy with “turning up.”
Let's say someone is looking for a wedding general to put him on a good asset. You don’t need to do anything special, all the “brains” will do for a measly 3-4 thousand dollars, it is important that “the person is reliable.” And then they bring you: “Meet Ivan Ivanovich, a good guy, OURS.” And the boy dreams of sitting in a chair and eating Ivan Ivanovich.
Not without reason: Ivan, most likely, was also simply “successfully introduced” at one time and he himself is nothing special.
So don't laugh at the socks of the manager of the world's largest bank. Firstly, even though they are tattered, yes. Secondly, Korolev also had torn socks, because his head was filled with Space. The vacuum in the head is instantly filled with socks.
Yes, it’s bad that the gap between rich and poor is growing and that the money of the rich does not go to decent salaries for their hired managers, normal workers. But there are worse things.
The worst thing is that the upstart mentality tends to poison everything around it. Typical picture: a novice lawyer-financier, salary 500 dollars, shirt - 800. Isn't it better to spend money on English courses?
The main thing, however, is that this mentality does not poison the whole of Russia. While there is talk about diversifying the economy, our country earns semi-feudal rent from its raw materials. God knows what a difficult job. If you forget about this and imagine that we are cooler than China, which made its name through the hard labor of billions, there is a danger of seriously messing things up.
The cure for the “billionaire disease” is very simple. It is necessary to force them to “share” with society through taxes, and give the most active part of society the opportunity to get rich.
From a typical public speech of millionaires from different countries
USA: “Looking at me, you will understand that the American dream is alive, it did not remain in the times of our valiant pioneers...”
Germany: “Having invested the miraculously remaining euros from my scholarship into the purchase of a decent computer, I had no idea that someday the newspapers would call me the “King of the Internet”...
France: “There are still too many people in our country who cannot afford to study, eat well, or have as many children as they want...”
Sweden: “By the will of fate, I was lucky, for which I still feel embarrassed in front of our fellow citizens who were less fortunate...”
Russia: “Aware of the social responsibility of business, we are doing everything to implement social programs aimed at further increasing the well-being of the residents of our difficult region...”
The author Evgeny Arsyukhin compares the spending of a Russian nouveau riche and a Swiss millionaire who grew up in the citadel of the “Protestant ethic” of John Calvin - Geneva. The Russian nouveau riche has an apartment in the center of Moscow, a country house and an estate abroad worth $40 million, while the Genva millionaire has an apartment in the city and a house in the mountains, a total of $20 million. The Russian has 3 million cars, the Swiss has 30 thousand. The Russian has an airplane (40) and a yacht (50), the Swiss have no such whim at all. A Russian has servants (security, servants, escort girls, translators) worth 10 million, and a Swiss has a cleaning lady-governess worth 40 thousand. A Russian does not invest money in antiques, while a Swiss spends on average 100 thousand a year on it. A Russian spends 1-2 million on vacation, while a Swiss millionaire prefers to relax in his country house. And the difference in spending on children’s education is significant: the Russian nouveau riche spends 50 thousand dollars a year on this purpose, and the Swiss spend 300-500 thousand.
As a percentage of the population, Russian dollar millionaires are 0.06%, and in the USA - 3% (every 30th US citizen). And how many poor people there are in the Russian Federation - “I looked around me - my soul became wounded by the suffering of humanity” (Alexander Radishchev, “Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow” /1790/). And today’s Russians do not have the strength to change the situation, they have long been sanded and therefore crumbled, and all they can do is degrade and die out. So, with every right, healthy Europeans want to isolate themselves from Russians who have betrayed and do not respect themselves. God be with them, with their easy money - few people like to look at the sick and contagious.
Tatyana Zykova and Fyodor Lukyanov in the same issue of Rossiyskaya Gazeta published an article “Ski track for the fifth column: Austrian resorts introduce quotas for tourists from Russia” (http://www.rg.ru/2007/02/09/austria-kvoty .html):
“Surprising but true. Either under the influence of recent events in Courchevel, or from an overabundance of ski tourists from Moscow, the fashionable Austrian ski resorts decided to introduce an unprecedented “quota” for tourists from Russia. Such discrimination has never happened in the world of the tourism industry.
Hotel owners in the Austrian resort town of Kitzbühel in the Austrian Alps have secretly agreed to introduce a quota for Russian guests in the amount of 10 percent of the total number of visitors. According to the head of the local tourism industry, Renata Danier, quoted by the Guardian, between 16 and 20 owners of four- and five-star hotels in the city took part in the vote on this issue. In a statement drawn up for this occasion, representatives of the Kitzbühel hotel business say that such a quota for tourists from Russia is a necessary measure, since otherwise it will be impossible to preserve the “mixture of nations” for which the city has always been famous.
There are, however, motives that hotel owners in the Alps and the Austrian authorities are not so willing to talk about. Tourism experts believe that this measure was primarily intended to limit the purchase of real estate by Russians in the city. The fact is that wealthy Russians have recently been buying up ski chalets and hotels at prices in the millions of dollars, and this is pushing local businessmen out of the market. "It's time to act before we are forced out," says the city's mayor, Klaus Winkler, frankly.
Meanwhile, according to a Russian source from RG, part of the roots of the current situation lie in internecine squabbles in the global international tourism market. It is no coincidence that scandalous information “about the dominance of Russians” at prestigious world resorts with references to statements by Austrian officials appeared in the influential British newspaper The Guardian. In recent years, Russians, with the help of their wallets, have really been “squeezing out” foreigners, those same Englishmen, from their favorite vacation spots. As a result, local travel companies are forced to offer their clients increasingly expensive tours, which are also growing year by year, causing protests.
However, there is another point of view. According to the press secretary of the Russian Union of Tourism Industry, Irina Tyurina, limiting the flow of tourists has long been accepted in the international “tourist” kitchen. This is done in order, firstly, to avoid financial losses from unforeseen situations: possible visa, political, weather, financial and even epidemiological crises and risks in certain countries from which people cannot leave for one reason or another. And secondly, for the sake of the spiritual comfort of tourists (at their own numerous requests), so that in some hotels, for example, mostly citizens from one country would live, and in others, on the contrary, “internationals” would gather.”
“Rest “Russian style”: are the claims of foreigners justified?
The president of the Austrian Hotel Owners Association, Sepp Schellhorn, condemned the decision of the Kitzbühl hotel owners, calling it "ridiculous" and "short-sighted", especially in connection with the economic component.
Russian tourists abroad are loved and hated at the same time, which is understandable: our compatriots annually bring significant profits to travel companies, hotels, airlines and local residents, but at the same time they are overly distinguished by their “ability to relax.” Particular complaints are made in relation to the “middle” class - people who cannot always afford an expensive vacation, preferring to go abroad on a relatively cheap trip, but seriously spend money “on the spot” or relax “to the fullest.”
Foreign publications regularly publish articles in which Russians appear in a very unsightly light. Of course, some of these assertions are not without foundation. Those who have been to Egypt or Turkey at the height of the season will confirm that the majority of Russian vacationers do not deny themselves anything, even if these “whims” affect the space of other people.
In Turkey, for example, there is a Russian-German confrontation. Considering that the resort was “opened” by the Germans, this is quite understandable. But it comes to action: one of the leading tour operators in Germany, Neckermann, has already put forward a proposal to separate tourists according to nationality. The Daily Telegraph quotes Neckermann spokesman Gunther Traeger as saying: “Let there be separate hotels for Russians and special hotels for tourists from other countries, primarily for middle- and lower-class hotels.”
In Europe, there is another trend, perhaps based precisely on the experience of resort countries: serving Russians is often perceived by local entrepreneurs as an opportunity to make good money. In addition to the generally accepted joy that Russians leave good tips, there is an unspoken rule that tourists from Russia are easy to deceive, which is what souvenir sellers and mini-hotel owners focus on.
Of course, Russians are different, but they are judged by their pathology, which, alas, exceeds a certain “critical mass.” There is an indicative discussion about this on the forum http://travel.mail.ru:

The freaks are not foreigners, but "fuckers" like you. “But is it correct to attribute to the entire nation the ordinary bad manners of its individual representatives?” These are not individual representatives, but a representative mass by which they are judged.

I agree that the nation as a whole is not judged by individual frostbitten people, but the problem is that in the majority these are the ones who go to these resorts. To be honest, looking at them makes me more irritated and ashamed than proud. Unfortunately. I would really like it to be the other way around.

Alas, most of our people have only read about good manners in books. The problem is that we have forgotten how to respect ourselves, and therefore we do not respect our neighbor (in the apartment, on the beach, on the dance floor, etc.). Westerners have a well-developed sense of where decent behavior ends and indecent behavior begins. So, unfortunately, they are right. Although we are not all like that. Let's learn to respect ourselves and behave in such a way that no one would even think of pointing a finger at us.

You see, bros. There is such a category of Russians who live among other Russians in Russia, but without much satisfaction, because among Russians there is more swinishness and bestiality than anyone else there. Travel around countries, talk to people, and life will open up to you from a different perspective. And what have we personally, bros, done to make us not only respected, but also loved? Sorry if I offended or offended you. If you understand, of course,

You need to behave decently everywhere, and not get drunk to death and do whatever your heart desires. And this applies to everyone. Most Russian tourists get drunk on the plane. It's sickening to watch. It's called "dorvali". It is from them that one forms an opinion about Russians. And they often try to deceive Russians, especially by selling various souvenirs, which is incredibly annoying.

Dear Russians, I see you every summer in Crimea. A Russian tourist can be seen from a kilometer away - no shame, no conscience. How will they treat you if there is no culture? You throw trash at your feet, leave bottles right on the beach, obscenities just sound everywhere. You know, no self-respecting country would want to see even the most profitable tourists who do not have a minimum of culture. Listen!

There has always been a certain number of frostbitten people among our vacationers (and by the way, now, in my opinion, there are fewer of them). In my opinion, the dissatisfaction of the Europeans now arose because, to their surprise, they suddenly discovered that Russians no longer go to admire civilized and rich Europe, but simply go to relax, and the Europeans, to some extent, turned out to be service personnel for the Russians. Which apparently was an offensive discovery for them.

An answer like to a Russian - dear, I saw you like this before... and after... How completely different you are... I read and am touched... Treat others (regardless of the nation) the way you want them to treat you. .. But I wouldn’t go on reconnaissance with a Russian... They can make a wild boar...

Yes, some of the vacationing Russians are truly a shame. Explain why, when I come to another country, nowhere do they mistake me for a Russian. Because In real life they expect rudeness, swearing and an inability to calmly understand the situation. By the way, I noticed that when any problem arises, Russians always refer to dislike for them. And if we communicated more with foreigners (instead of looking for a drinking buddy), we realized that funny things happen to everyone and problems are all solved quite calmly. What about Russian? He will be rude and call the staff names. Here's an example. Cuba. A bunch of Russian men, getting drunk on rum at the hotel, wanted pickles. So, in a rude manner, they burst into the hotel kitchen and forced the black cooks to boil water, find vinegar, etc. and pickle the cucumbers. Just imagine, the Cubans didn’t have enough snacks. They could also just kick the hotel staff if “something is wrong.” In short, darkness. And we introduced ourselves “from the Baltic states!” It’s a shame.

Unfortunately, the attitude towards citizens of the Russian Federation has changed greatly after the obstacles to traveling abroad were removed. It's just a fact. It is also a fact that the number of words that do not correspond to the vocabulary of a normal person can be found in discussions of the reasons or, rather, personal attitudes to the problem, everywhere and here too. I am far from predicting recipes, but I am sure that the main reason for the decline in civilized behavior of citizens is explained by complete impunity for this behavior here in Russia. This includes the consumption of alcohol in public places and the deliberate creation of emergency situations on the roads. And of course, criminal liability for these actions is their encouragement. This applies to all categories of citizens. Alas, in the crowd we don’t see a person who eats ourselves, we have lost ourselves.

The Austrians brewed the porridge last year. At one of the resorts, ours destroyed several hotel rooms in a “drunk wave” and made a fire on the balcony from the remains of furniture - and the Austrians lost money from our tours. I’m in Germany, so I know for sure, I was there myself at that time, I don’t want to say which resort. There was a quota for Russians last year, and they are already squealing for Russians - where are they without us? Who will feed them with their glaciers?

I agree - redneck. About 10-12 years ago, Hurghada was a peaceful resort.... what happened to it, where are ours.... And ask the opinion of local playboys about our girls. SHAME...... I loved this place very much, I went myself. I booked a small hotel without Russians (by the way, 4 stars), everything was quiet, peaceful and decent... alone... and ours show themselves everywhere. In London they buy everything at the airport (I agree. The Japanese do this too, but somehow it’s more cultural...) ... I haven’t seen all this for about 5 years. Very happy........ I live in Britain

It’s just that in Russia we behave like savages, and when we come to Europe we simply transfer our behavior there. Anyone who has ever been to Europe understands that people there are different, they are kinder and more attentive to others, compared to them Russians seem like pigs, although not all of them, of course. When coming to Europe, for some time you need to get used to the standard of relations between people accepted in that society. At first it’s even funny how stupid they are. But, returning back, it takes much longer to get used to our barbaric behavior. Sometimes it’s so bitter that you want to howl.

Until Russian tourists acquire a minimal culture of behavior in public places, they will be oppressed, and to everyone’s indignation, they will do so with justification! The Russian tourist can be seen from afar. Not a single foreign tourist will spit at his feet, throw out trash on the beach, smoke under the children’s nose, or swear all over the coast. Dear compatriots - let's learn together the rules of etiquette and rules of behavior in public places. See you after educational program!!!

I can confirm that there is such an opinion about Russians abroad who go beyond the bounds of decency, even in 5* hotels... Noisy gatherings, fishing in a marina in a prohibited area, to the shame of all Europeans - there is no way to escape from nature like that... This is true, and all hoteliers greet Russians with horror and prepare the reception very carefully, then sometimes they observe either bloody scenes of jealousy or the long legs of a friend, and consider Russians a little snobby. Although there are very nice and educated people in our society who are always greeted and honored, such people usually leave good tips and are simply pleasant to talk to. Good luck to everyone at the resorts...

In Crimea, Russian tourists behave as if they came there for the first and last time. One gets the impression that it’s fun to make a joke on someone else’s land. I’m wondering, do you have the same kind of landfill in your cities that remains in Crimea after Russian tourists?

Let's start with the fact that our country really lost a lot of smart, honest and intelligent people in 1917, in the 30s. (repression) and during the years of stagnation (emigration). And the second factor is the feeling of impunity and anonymity. We have a big country, maybe(!) no one will know, especially if we are talking about those who came to live in a large city from a sparsely populated area and were rude to a passerby on the street, firmly convinced that this is not his acquaintance or an acquaintance of an acquaintance. As for the Internet, which is even more impersonal than the telephone, it is perceived by many as a field for the release of negative emotions.

The Austrians are worried because other tourists stop going where our tourists have become accustomed. Although ours bring money, they spoil the atmosphere of calm, security and bring a spirit of familiarity, disorderliness, arrogance and arrogance. This is understandable, since many go on vacation on expensive tours, while they themselves live from paycheck to paycheck. This is an unhealthy display.

funny, really! I was on vacation in the Canaries with my husband, but did not speak Russian. I heard this about myself: that foreigners are all freaks, what do they want from us, the great ones, etc. At the same time, the bunch behaved like pigs, to put it mildly... They don’t want anything from us Russians! Just behave decently and show the culture of Chekhov, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy.

That's right, even Belarusians try to choose hotels where there are no Russians. You, as has been rightly noted, are invading the living space of other people. When someone reprimands you, you become aggressive and inadequate. That's why they treat you like this. Where you are - noise, swearing, booze and garbage. You don't care about others. And if rich Russians are still tolerated for big money, then your middle class is a headache for everyone: both for hotels and for other vacationers. From where the Russian mass tourist comes, tourists from other countries very soon leave. Only you won’t understand such subtleties)).

Indeed, you read and understand that a reservation is needed for citizens of the Russian Federation. Let them light it up.

What can you talk about with a person who doesn’t respect someone else’s land? Dear Russians, who think that you can behave like a pig anywhere - my advice is to sit at home, spit at the ceiling, and don’t travel around the world disgracing your people! Good luck to all!

I agree with those who claim that a certain part of the “annealers” spoil the attitude towards all Russians indiscriminately. And all because all other nations, if they get drunk, then peacefully “hang out” in their own circle, without bullying anyone. In Germany you can walk among drunken Germans without any fear. If they fight, it’s only within their own circle, and they don’t pick on anyone. And the Russians will get licked - and let's get weird. They either want to punch someone they don’t know in the face, or they start pestering strangers to “talk about their lives.” Well, Russian pathos is a song... Of course! We defeated everyone, defeated everyone, and if anything, then we will once again “arrange Stalingrad for them.” So that, damn it, they don’t forget... who’s here... this, what’s his name... Familiar melody, right? :) In general, fame among Russians is something... There was a time when I worked part-time in a private hotel in Cologne. The hotel is small, family run. But they also had a “quota” for Russians - no more than one guest from Russia every 6 months! I don’t know what they had against the Russians... They didn’t report to me, and I didn’t really ask. When people found out that I, so to speak, was originally Russian, they were surprised - in a year of working on the farm with access to the cash register, products and other “material assets” I STOLEN NOTHING - what a glory about the Russians. Usually brought to tears, literally! And those Russians who came once every six months were quite decent people. Well, strange, of course. They look like wolves from below, the ladies are all dressed up and wearing stilettos, well, they don’t say hello to the maids and sit at breakfast as if covered in a dust bag. But I think that this is not such a great sin, honestly... The people from the reception laughed, gossiped and forgot. Well, our man doesn’t smile, we haven’t taught him to. But they set a quota for admission... I think more than one hotel has such garbage.

Italians are also very noisy, but they don’t drink. And there are significantly fewer of them. I'm talking about hotels where the middle class vacations. I don't know about the rest. There are many Russians, Russia is big. You have enough personnel of all kinds. And one more thing - Russians prefer all-inclusive. It has been noticed that as soon as a hotel decides to target Russians, it switches to all-inclusive. Staff tips disappear and the level of service drops sharply.

Rest as you wish, our dears. But don’t complain or be indignant that visas are given to you with difficulty, that the staff does not respect you, and that entry restrictions into different countries are being tightened. There is only one pity - those who don’t drink to the point of squealing, who don’t rock out and are generally quite civilized have to chew on all this negativity along with you. Naturally, you don’t care about them. To the prestige of Russia - too. The main thing is to get drunk. Then I agree with those who believe that it makes no difference where you eat vodka - in Egypt, Turkey or at home.

We were in Austria for the New Year - the first week in the outback, where Russians are a rarity. Surprisingly friendly attitude; if you fall, someone will definitely stop and offer help. Second week - Zell am See. Completely Russian-speaking... What a shame for their behavior...
Olga 29 years old, Israel, Ashdod
I live in Israel. I can confirm that all the shit in our country speaks Russian. All organized crime, prostitutes, drug dealers. In companies run by Russians, workers are often deceived when paying wages. I am terribly ashamed of my nation. We instill in our children that we are not Russians, we are Jews, so that they do not associate themselves with this abomination.
MY COMMENT: When a Russian person, having received good money through corruption or looting or groveling, does not feel like a self-sufficient master in Russia, he compensates for his inferiority complex with boorish behavior where he himself finds himself in the position of being served - at a foreign resort. And he’s totally fired up. But this is not the middle class, but the service class. The normal working middle class, to which I and my circle belong, follows the normal “Protestant ethic,” as in the rest of the world, and if it goes to live and work in the West, it does not stand out in anything special from the general background. Perhaps he doesn’t wear socks with holes, but he also doesn’t allow himself to act out in public places, unlike the Russian nouveau riche and his mass, highly paid serfs.

Generals and naval commanders of the times of Catherine the Second 1. His talent was recognized in all European capitals. He was a brilliant strategist, formulated inin his book “The Science of Victory” the essence of the military tactics he used in the well-known triad: eye, speed, onslaught. 2.

Who is Tadeusz Kosciuszko? 10. In the summer of 1770, battles took place near the Larga and Cahul rivers, in which Russian troops defeated the Turkish. One hundred of the Russian commanders stated then that “our glory and dignity cannot tolerate the presence of an enemy standing in sight of us without attacking him.”
Each nation has its own characteristics. “Russians,” which abroad refers to everyone who speaks Russian, have a particularly large number of them, and they are unique in many ways.
In this case, Russians mean those who live in Russia or in the countries of the former CIS. Because everyone had approximately the same childhood, family traditions, customs, rules and signs too.
1. Disputes for any reason
Russian people love to argue on a variety of issues, both private and general. Russian people are often interested in argument not as a means of finding the truth, but as a mental exercise, as a form of emotional, sincere communication with each other. This is why in Russian communicative culture those arguing so often lose the thread of the argument and easily deviate from the original topic.
2. Emergency
In the past, Russia was a country of risky agriculture. The short agricultural cycle - 4-5 months - forced the farmer to constantly rush. Sowing and harvesting turned into a real suffering, a battle for the harvest.” That is why our people tend to work urgently when it is critically important, and the rest of the time they react to circumstances.
3. Fight before friendship
To fight, and then drink vodka together and literally fall in love with a recent opponent - that’s our way. A fight is the highest form of resolving interpersonal conflicts, and if it has already been passed, there is nothing to divide.
4. Dress up before going to the store
A dress and heels are the perfect outfit for a woman's casual outing. Previously, this was called “going out in public,” but you can’t go out in public looking sloppy—it’s a sign of decadence and promiscuity.
5. Sit down before the trip
Once our bags are packed, we usually pause to sit quietly for a minute before heading out. Many do not like this tradition, considering it a relic of paganism, but this “minute” simply provides a respite in the turmoil of getting ready. Plus, this is a tradition - before, and even now, believers always prayed before the road.
6. Speak long toasts
Only the laziest Russian person would say a simple toast “To health” or something like that. We just have something to say.
7. Tell jokes as often as possible
We can tell a story and in the middle we say, “Oh! It’s like that joke…”, and we’ll definitely tell it. Although no one asks us.
8. Congratulate each other after a shower or bath
Although according to the rules you need to wish each other a light steam before the bath, we say: “Have a light steam!” exclusively after a bath or shower. Previously, this was a spell. It was supposed to protect the person washing from the machinations of the brownie living in the bathhouse.
9. Answer in detail the question “How are you?”
"How are you?" It is customary for foreigners to answer this routine question with the routine “Okay, thank you!” It's not like that with us. Because “good” or “bad” are unambiguous concepts. Our man knows that nothing is certain in life. And this also needs to be explained...
10. Don't smile at strangers
We don't smile at strangers. This is even somehow strange for us. Because our people don’t like falsehood. If a stranger smiles at you, it is unlikely that this is good, rather the opposite. Sincere smiles are for friends, family and loved ones.
11. Celebrate the New Year on a grander scale than Christmas
Christmas tree - for the New Year. Gifts for the New Year. New Year is the main winter holiday. Christmas is celebrated by many fewer people, and much more modestly. This is a consequence of decades of Soviet power, which in every possible way belittled the religious holiday. Before the revolution in Russia, Christmas was much more important than the New Year.
We often pronounce phrases from Soviet films and cartoons, emphasizing or illustrating our thoughts and observations. Again, in the USSR this was very convenient. Everyone looked and knew the same thing, common cultural consumption led to a common vocabulary.
13. Calling all women “girl”
If we want to call a waitress, we shout “girl!”; if we address a 40-year-old woman, we call her “girl.” Any woman whom one dares to call a “girl” is a girl for us. And everyone is happy. Because all these “madams”, “miss”, “young lady”, “madam” and so on are overloaded with semantic meanings. You need to know who to contact. And you can't go wrong with a "girl".
In addition, in Soviet times, the official address was the asexual “comrade”. “Girl” is still more affectionate and polite.
14. Sitting at the table for hours, constantly talking
We sit down as a group at the table, have dinner and talk. Then we just talk, then we eat and talk, then we drink tea and talk, and even when we go home, we stand on the doorstep and talk for some time. In general, we like to eat while talking, or talk while eating. In short, we love to eat and talk.
15. Never throw away bags
Every normal Russian has a package with packages. Thrift comes from poverty, which has been characteristic of our society for centuries.
16. Never visit without a gift.
This could be a cake or wine for dinner, chocolate or flowers (provided that there is not an even number of them). It doesn't really matter what it is, the main thing is to bring something. Because “well, you won’t come empty-handed” is disrespect for the owners of the house.
17. When stirring tea, leave a spoon in the cup
With a spoon, the tea cools much faster. Plus it tastes better, as any Russian will tell you.
18. Give an odd number of flowers for holidays and an even number for funerals.
Pagan beliefs interpret even numbers as symbols of death and evil. Remember the saying “trouble does not come alone”?
Many ancient cultures associated paired numbers with completeness, completion, in this case, the path of life. In other countries, flowers are usually sold by the dozen: half a dozen, a dozen, etc.
19. Celebrate the Old New Year
The Old New Year is a rare historical phenomenon, an additional holiday that resulted from a change in chronology. Because of this discrepancy in calendars, we celebrate two “New Years” - according to the old and new styles. By the twentieth century, the calendar of Russia, which continued to use the Julian calendar, was 13 days behind Europe, which had long ago switched to the Gregorian calendar. To reduce this gap, in 1918 they switched to the Gregorian calendar - a new style.
20. Take a steam bath with a broom
The broom performed an important function in the house of Russian people, even in pre-Christian times. They drove away evil spirits. A broom placed against the wall served as a kind of amulet. The broom drove diseases out of the body, which is where the tradition of taking a steam bath with it came from. In fact, whipping with a broom is a religious ritual, and you can wash yourself at the same time.
21. Heart-to-heart conversations
It is very difficult to explain to a foreigner what it is... Russian people love to pour out, even “turn out” their souls in front of their interlocutor, they are not shy about doing this, they are not shy about talking about their secrets; they can pour out their souls to a stranger, a fellow passenger on the train. Online communication, accepted in the West, usually carries a certain disapproving connotation in Russian word usage - it means unreal, official, contrived, insincere.
22. Pay for women in a restaurant
Russia is a rather patriarchal country, where many old stereotypes are still alive. According to them, a man is the breadwinner, and a woman goes to the strongest person who can provide decent food for her and her offspring. Therefore, male generosity, willingness to feed (read: pay) is a manifestation of strength and power. This is the same as letting ladies go ahead or giving way to her.
Now many social roles have blurred, but some traditions continue to live without any logical explanation. It's just the way it is.
23. And also...
