Alexander Nezlobin, a popular stand-up comedian who fled to the USA, told about the only question Americans ask him about Russia. This was discussed in the show of comedian Ruslan Bely * "Cultural Difference".
According to Nezlobin, no matter which residents of the United States he communicated with, all of them, having learned that he was from Russia, ask one question.
"All I was asked in America about Russia was, 'Oh, how far to fly?'" the comedian said.
According to him, Americans never start discussing the current political agenda and Russian-American relations. Many immediately remember the Russian word "grandmother", pronouncing it with emphasis on the second syllable, as well as the well-known curse.
As reported by EADaily, earlier Nezlobin said that in Germany, in order to get to a doctor's appointment, it is necessary to "stand in line for two years."
