this thread couldn't come sooner. I'm in Minsk, Belarus (very similar to Russia) from SV for the next month to finish our mobile app. One thing I've noticed is how fucking gloomy everyone looks. If you smile the men look intimidating and want to cut your head off and the women roll their eyes...It's as if everyone is a KGB agent and they are constantly suspecting you.

It's disappointing for me to read such things from "former compatriots".

For all the others. The article is not BS. It's a good attempt to troll on the old myth.

I hope, having read the article, you can now understand their behavior.
