Comments by "Volker R. 🇩🇪" (@volkerr.) on "How to Think About Russians" video.

My wife is Estonian. I know many Estonians with partly Russian family background. They all try to deny it. They even refuse their children to lern Russian. During Sowjet times Russians - though having bad manners and bad education - were ruling over Estonian people. After the collapse things have turned into the opposite. Estonia became independent again. Estonian people are like Germans once used to be. That’s why they have developed that good and that far. Russians in Estonia are often drug addicted and drunkards. Those who don’t want to adapt or are unable to do have to do the simple works. It’s somehow comparable to the Turkish in Germany. 🇩🇪🇪🇪🇺🇦👍

German 🇩🇪here. Putin used to be a KGB agent in Germany. He speaks German fluently. Back in 1989 when there were these huge protest marches in Leipzig that had brought down communism, armed German army men - their officers got orders from Russian authorities - were aside, waiting for the order to fire into the crowd. Like the Chinese did on Tiananmen square in Beijing. It’s said that Putin was very angry about that Moscow didn’t give the allowance to do it… So thanks to Gorbatschow history made its way. Putin and a majority of russkies are still a relict from that time. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like those relicts will disappear soon 😢

Since the early 1990‘s I’ve met with a lot of eastern European women. Even Russian and Ukrainian ones. Especially the Russian ones didn’t like their male fellow countrymen. But they were all well educated and western oriented. 😊

@EconLessons every free man and every free woman should support Ukraine 👍🇺🇦

I guess it goes even deeper. They get a mindest as a great nation already from early childhood on. And as part of that great nation the nation stays over the individual. It’s their religion. It’s not logic but it’s real

Russian mentality is toxic. Mehr muss man eigentlich nicht darüber wissen😳

Never trust the Russians. They don’t even trust each other. Traue niemals den Russen. Sie trauen sich nicht mal gegenseitig. Otto von Bismarck. 😩

@svr5423 Du solltest vielleicht schreiben, dass Du in Western Germany🇩🇪 aufgewachsen bist..? 👍😁

Russian society never had its 1945-Moment. Like we in Germany🇩🇪 had That’s why the majority of them is still fascist.

Anesthesia was used first in 1948 in England. Couldn’t find any earlier use by Russians

Mark. I guess it’s much about the feeling. Like Donald Trump wants to make USA great again, many Russians don’t have much and feel down. But the got planted that patriotic thing in their head that Russia is a great country and therefore they are part of something great. It’s a substitute of religion and that makes it really hard to give it up. Especially when you get that planted in from early childhood on. Probably every human being has such a religious basic need. Even when you’re not religious at all. Russian leaders know about that effect. Only well educated and intelligent people are able to reject such brain wash.

Russian mentality can’t be explained with logic. It’s a feeling. It’s kind of brain wash every Russian child absorbs with breast milk already. Es ist Teil der Kontrolle der russischen Elite über ihre Bevölkerung.😢

It’s Russian propaganda. Most certainly. 😩😜

@Notrusbot are you sure?! 😂 Fire extinguisher was invented in USA The first electric car was invented in 1835 by a Britt. Long before that Zar was born.. The first parachute jump was in 1783 in France

That is just a scratch on the surface. It goes much much deeper when it’s about Russian mentality…

Russia has a population only. But they don’t have people.

@barryhamm3414 if something sounds too good to be true - then in 99,99% of all Cases it’s not true 😅

Russian influence on US society is much much bigger than many think…😮

My first wife was from Hungary. I totally agree with what you say. Hungary is just the same. Except there’s probably not that many Hungarians leaving their country.

@Subher0 I’d simply say Russians get brainwashed from the very first minute of their life on…

The same with many Russian-Germans. They don’t get along with the western world. They still feel like being a stranger. They aren’t used to live life in our way. Although they enjoy freedom and wealth here. But deep inside they won’t or can’t give up their Russian mentality. For them Russia makes them feel great while here they are nothing. It’s like with the Turkish. Living here for generations, but still feel for Erdogan as he wants to make Turkey great again. 😩😳

@РусланЗаурбеков-з6е all puppets. 😁😩 And I didn’t say there weren’t bad Estonian people too. My wife is Estonian, my children are. I know almost all about Estonian history starting from 11th century. And I know thousands of Estonians, starting from highest politicians and judges down to normal workers, teachers etc.

@williamjones9662 to some extend - yes 😊 but for that we would need to go deeper inside psychology

It’s scientifically proven that 90% of all humans beings can’t avoid to be influenced by propaganda and brain washing. Most certainly it’s 90% who believe to be part of those 10% 😜

MAGA is highly influenced and undermined by Russian hybrid warfare, fake news and bribery for sure as well 😮😡

Many of us Europeans do have a small percentage of Neandertal genes inside us. So please don’t insult Neanderthals 😊
