A Russian tourist visited Milan and asked a friend of the Italian about his true opinion about Russians. She shared the details of the conversation on her personal blog on the platform Yandex.Zen…

According to the girl, her acquaintance has been to Russia about 10 times. The first thing that shocked the foreigner the most was the driving style of the Russian people. The Italian participant noted that the driver can drive into the oncoming lane for overtaking when maneuvering signs are prohibited, speak while driving on the phone, and swear loudly in traffic jams on other movements.

“I thought we were Italians, temperamental people. As it turned out, the Russians are too, ”the travelers’ interlocutor shared his revelation.

The Italian also notes that Russian people do not like to organize themselves, but prefer it when everything is done for them. For example, he recalled that Russians would rather choose to buy souvenirs or excursions with a decent markup than look for other options on their own.

Another trait of Russians, according to a resident of Milan, is an excessive display of expertise and the imposition of their opinions. “No matter how much I talked to the Russians, they always strive to prove their case and show that they are experts in absolutely everything. There is only one correct opinion – the one that belongs to them, ”the author of the blog conveyed the words of the Italian.

The Russian woman agreed with this fact, but added that the Italians behave in the same way. “Moreover, they behave arrogantly and always put themselves and their point of view above others,” the traveler clarified.

Earlier in December, a Russian woman who had visited France met local retirees and overheard their conversations about Russia. First of all, the tourist learned that older European women praised Russian men for the fact that they can do almost everything.
