I've only known a few russians in my life but they were all beautiful and intelligent(maybe it was just a coincidence, I don't know). However, I find the Russian history and literature are fascinating. My favourites books are russian(Anna Karenina for example). I recently watched a russian movie called "leviata" that shows a lot of corruption in the politics of the country and also how much people drink alcohol there, especially vodka. I find that interesting because I like vodka and also because I live in a very corrupt country myself.

My family had the privilege of having a Russian teenage boy stay at our house last summer. He was very well mannered and very pleasant. We would be happy to have him back.
