- Could two nations be any more different?? Canadians and Russians definitely don't see eye to eye on many subjects, but they do have certain things in common that maybe you wouldn't expect. As someone who has a Russian heritage and now lives in Canada, I thought I would go over the differences between the two nations and where I think they differ. I hope you guys enjoy the video and make sure you check out my full length Russian street interviews on Reporterfy's Channel at the links below:

As a russian i would say to this girl: "ok, keep reading then" and turn off the light myself. There is really a difference between us haha
Спасибо, было интересно послушать.
Очень круто, что видео сразу с субтитрами. Алина как всегда отлично выглядишь!
I’m a Canadian in Germany (German-Canadian) and I think Russians and Germans have a lot in common based on what you said. 😂
I think Eastern Europeans are generally more honest ... so when they’re nice, it’s genuine. Whereas Canadians use it indiscriminately, as an autopilot thing, and it can feel quite superficial. And they won’t go as far (like you said go out of their way) as Eastern Europeans. ❤️
Девушка в хостеле вела себя неадекватно. Мне стыдно за нее.
I would love to visit Canada 🇨🇦 and Russia 🇷🇺 one day
I think importance of university is connected with Soviet period and then 90s, when people believed that there’s a bright future where everyone will live in perfect society and to achieve that “collective happiness” you need to do your best in educating yourself and your children so you and others will push society forward through perfecting science and culture. Pretty materialistic, there was even a song “ We were born to make dreams come true “ ( not individual dreams but common Soviet dream) and it has to do with defying soul and religion and “believing in yourself and communist ideals” ( like it’s now in the west, you should believe in yourself and be proud and promote liberal ideals without any God). However, I was born after fall of USSR, so that’s just my personal opinion
I am impressed with your mentality and the way that you see things in life, isn't easy to find that nowadays, keep up the good job! Greetings from Greece girl!
i really like your sweater Alina, that's very cool...
Call me crazy but I think being nice to someone you just met - even if superficially - is better than being blunt and/or rude to someone just to be "genuine". I definitely met a lot of kind people in Ukraine and Russia - but there's no doubt in my mind that Canada is a much warmer and inviting country than both. My wife is Ukrainian and when we got back to Canada we were in the airport and this Canadian couple came up to us smiling and asking about our dog. We realized in that moment with those people that not a single random person in Ukraine or Russia had just walked up to us and started a friendly conversation. My wife said it first "This is why I like living in Canada more than Ukraine". I agreed with her. I do love Russia and Ukraine - but Canada is to us a much friendlier nation.
Russians know what war means, for most Canadians it's like a video game.
As an Autralian traveling in Russia a decade back, I always felt safe wherever I went there as the people were always friedly and willing to help. Help even came across the language barrier, I have не русский.
Понять русскую душу может только русский...Лично со мной был случай украли все деньги на вокзале Слава Богу билет и паспорт не тронули....А ехать мне почти 3-е суток даже 10 рублей в кармане нет...вообще ни копейки.Я ни у кого ничего не просил люди сами приходили предлагали еду у кого что было один мужчина даже 500 рублей предложил ....
Your evaluations and point of views are rewarding and informative! Thank you!
Спасибо Алина за интересное видео. Здоровья тебе и твоим родным! Удачи! ;)
That girl in the hostel was not "direct", she was just very rude and boor. Even in Russian tradition. ("bydlo" = boor, social egoist)
One thing I noticed when I went to Russia is that Russians in general don't appreciate the superficially friendly way Americans (and Canadians) appear to be. It certainly seemed weird to me when we moved to the USA from England when I was 11. If you smile at a waitress or barista or provodnitsa in Russia they'll look at you like you're mad or developmentally disabled, and if you say "Have a nice day" most Russians just don't know how to process that.
I’m so happy I found your channel. I’m so interested in my heritage, I love this
You have a great openness of thought, which HAS to come from not attending university. And you express yourself naturally, and project a certain niceness which must relate to Canada. You are a gift to CZcams!
