How the United States treats Russians: an immigrant has gathered the opinions of Americans about Russia and Putin

Immigrant Natalia, living in the USA, told the channel "Quality content" on Yandex.Zen about how random passers-by in America reacted to her questions about Russians, President Putin and Russia. Next - from the first person.

My name is Natalya. I am 52 years old and currently live in America. I have been living here for 5 years.

On the Web, I saw many articles about the attitude of Americans to Russians. Like many, I had a lot of questions. So I decided to check the information in person. I went out and asked people about how they relate to the Russians, to Russia and to Putin.

I asked people of different social strata, different races, ages and sexes.

I interviewed about 20 people. Yes, this is not so much, but I could not spend the whole day on the survey.

I will not give every dialogue with all the respondents, but here are a few quotes.

Bertie, 25 years old (girl)

“I haven’t been to Russia myself, but my brother studied there as an exchange student. He said he liked it there. That's all what I know. I can’t say much about Putin; I’ve seen photographs of him with a naked torso. It looks impressive. You probably have a cool president.”

Alan, 40 years old (man)

"You have a very cold. Many people say that there are bears at every turn and you drink a lot, I don’t know if that’s true (with a grin). I have three friends who lived in Russia. They said that they moved to the United States only because Russia has a bad government. But they miss Russia, it’s true. That's all what I know".

Kyle, 18 years old (young man)

“You have a big country with a big history. I don't know a single Russian. But I often meet you in games. Yes, you seem to be ordinary. As everybody".

To the question: “What do you think about Putin?” he asked again: “About whom?”

Michael, 26 years old (male)

“I understand that in every nation there are good and bad people. But to be honest, I mostly saw Russians in a bad light. They were either drunk and shouting at the whole street, or too aggressive. I have had conflicts with people from your country more than once.”

Conclusions

Most Americans treat us either neutrally or well. There are rare cases when people speak out about us badly. But we all know that Russians often do not behave themselves very well on vacation. Apparently, because of this, some people have the impression of us.

But in general, they treat us positively.
