Well I've never been to Russia, so I can't really say anything I haven't seen or read. But as for the Russian people I have met and became friends with quite a bit. They all seemed really reliant on their word, like if you said you were gonna do something you'd better do it unless you had good reason to not. I really admire that here where I'm from people are fake and put on acts, They just did what they did and where all really cool people. I would also say I was impressed to see how many of them spoke multiple languages that was what inspired me to try and learn some. Just genuine good people, hard working, accepting, and awesome to hang out with. They typically come for the summer work 2 jobs, and party pretty hard a lot of fun to be around.
