Foreigners living in Russia | Understanding the Russian mindset

Do Russian expats find locals annoying? What did they expect living in Russia would be like? What's so special about that enigmatic Russian soul? We asked foreigners living in Russia to discuss common myths about the Russian mentality and share their experience with understanding locals.

Special thanks to our guests Hugh McEnaney, Yann Sotti, Alexis Saporta, Dominic Vatovec, Daniel Egan and Keith Storey.
Thank you for watching & sharing!
