I've been watching several YouTube channels based around rural Russia and how the average Russian family lives and plays.
I'm pretty sure that if you dropped me off in some middle of nowhere small Russian village I'd fit right in with those crazy Ivans.
I'm not much of a drinker or smoker (which seems to be their national pastime) but pretty much everything else is a mirror image of the backcountry rural USA I love.
Russians have definitely earned the title of "worlds craziest white people".
Go to work, take care of your family, dislike your government, do a lot of outdoors stuff, play hard.
I think if we both lynched our respective governments we'd all get along great.
