Words that seem so simple and familiar to us are very disliked by many foreigners. Remembering the usual "hello", "loaf" and "cheese" for the French, Estonians and Germans is worse than tantalum flour. But there are also such nations that have taken first place in this funny hit parade in terms of the complexity of learning the Russian language.
Hidden context
A comic story about the hardships of getting acquainted with the Russian language is, first of all, about English-speaking representatives of other countries. Problems arise literally in everything: from incorrectly placed stresses to the construction of sentences. The big "pain" of the Americans and the British is cases, because in their language words have no endings. Because of this, different parts of speech are completely indistinguishable from each other. So it turns out that the banal “how to get to the library?” turns into "how did you go to the library?"
A whole range of other points is puzzling: the lack of a strict word order, the abundance of homonyms, the difficult to pronounce letter “y” and many other aspects. Needless to say, the British and Americans often complain about the complexity of the great and mighty, and the most desperate even compare it with the Chinese?
The difference in the rules for constructing phrases played bad joke not with one US resident. For example, the simple expression I have a girlfriend, when literally translated into Russian, acquires a completely indecent background - "I have a girlfriend." Foreigners often do not understand the hidden context.
Why does the Russian language make the Chinese suffer?
If the Americans sin on phonetics and grammar, then the Chinese are horrified by the very fact of the existence of the Russian language. Even the study of the alphabet takes them a lot of time and effort, and even the pronunciation of words and the composition of sentences even more so.
The “favorite” letter of any Chinese student at a Russian university is “r”. Learning how to pronounce it correctly is a real success, but most are limited to the more familiar “l”, which makes the speech sound rather comical. Japanese, Koreans, Arabs and Jews experience similar feelings, because the Cyrillic alphabet has nothing to do with either Japanese or Chinese characters, nor with the letters of the Hebrew and Arabic alphabets.
Cyrillic not only differs from these types of writing, it differs from them, like heaven and earth. Long months pass before a Korean or Japanese who has arrived in Russia ceases to be frightened when he hears melodic Russian speech, and at least several years until he learns to correctly place stress in words and pronounce at least half of the phrases with the correct intonation.
In France, "count" is a dirty word.
It takes a lot of time for the inventors of the unusual onion soup to learn simple phrases in Russian. Difficulties lie in wait for the French at every step: when setting up pronunciation, studying grammar, reading rules, conjugations and declensions of words.
In French, the sounds "ha" and "sy" are not used, the solid "l" and all hissing are completely absent. It is impossible to understand them intuitively and catch the difference, so the French spend a lot of time getting basic knowledge. incomprehensible to them and soft sign. Where to put it and why, what are the functions of this strange symbol and how it differs from others - these are the most common questions.
Often comic situations arise due to the similarity of individual words in languages. A vivid example of this is the harmless word "account". It constantly sounds in all restaurants in Russia, but the French can simply be embarrassed, since in French it means “toilet”. Difficulties with stress in words haunt everyone without exception - unlike French, in which it is always placed on the last syllable, in Russian the situation is different.
Write, not write
Stress is an eternal sore subject for Finns as well. In Finnish, it is also static: it always falls on the first syllable, which causes many curious cases. If some words sound simply ridiculous, then others completely change their meaning and even acquire an indecent coloration. The situation is aggravated by the fact that in Russian all nouns belong to one of the three genders, which is not the case in Finnish.
A cruel joke with the Finns was played by the absence in mother tongue whistling and hissing sounds. "U", "sh", "h", "s" - all these letters remain almost unpronounceable at first.
Finnish guests are very surprised when they hear words that begin with “b”, “d”, “d” - “brother”, “tie”, “road” and others. In Finnish, these letters never appear at the beginning of words, so Finns don't hear them and don't know how to pronounce them.
Who else finds it difficult to learn Russian?
Some learning difficulties foreign language experienced by all foreigners. Estonians find it difficult to deal with categories of gender and the future tense, the Dutch can't get into the system of cases for a long time, and the Japanese soften all words excessively.
However, experienced tutors and linguists claim that, with due diligence, any foreigner is able to learn Russian in high level. To speed up and facilitate this process, they advise reading the classics as much as possible and be sure to practice in live communication.
the article was written in 2005. Its author is a certain “keyidayisi”, and I saw it on several sites:

大家好，我第一次来，说说我的想法请共同计划！
我对俄罗斯有一种天然的仇恨!我是一个东北青年，从小就被家里大人告之，‘不可再淘气，老毛子要来了！’我当时就想，这老毛子是一种什么怪物呢？长大后我 知道了，它就是苏联，就是俄罗斯。那时它是多么强大啊！看那时地图，在亚欧大陆，它的土地是黑 呼呼的一大片，就压在我们中国的上面。如果没有它，中国的地方也够大啊，可是和它一比，我们的土地实在是小啊！我常常看着地图，看着苏联，一种敌视，一种 仇恨，在我的心里深深植下。
Hello everybody. I'm here for the first time and want to express my thoughts. I'd be happy to put together a plan of action.
In relation to Russia, I have an innate hatred! I myself am a young man from the Northeast of China, from an early age my elders told me at home “not a hooligan, otherwise the “Russo ***s *” will come. **s "? When I grew up, I found out that they were Soviet, that is, Russians. Then the USSR was so strong. Looking at the then map, one could see a black spot of its territory on the entire Eurasian continent, which crushed our China from above. If only it no, China would have seemed so big, however, in comparison with the USSR, our land was actually small.I often looked at the map, looked at the USSR, and hostility with hatred settled deep in my soul.
我承认，这种仇恨也是一种妒忌，这老毛子是那么的强大，国土是如此的辽阔，军力是如此的雄厚，简直是不可撼动，为何它们有，我们没有呢？也是一种不 服气，老毛子能做到的，何我们做不到呢？你凭什么就比我强啊！更是那历史上触目惊心的土地大丧送！那海参崴、 伯力、库页岛、外兴安、贝加尔湖。。。那时也许当地没有多少汉人，可那也轮不到俄国人去占啊！
I admit that this hatred is also a kind of envy: these Russians are so strong, they have so much land, such an impressive, simply unshakable army. Why do they have it all and we don't? It's also a kind of stubbornness: if the Russo***s can, can't we? Why are you stronger than me?! This is also grief for a piece of land lost in the course of history, striking the imagination with its size! Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin, the Stanovoye Upland, Baikal... perhaps there were almost no Chinese there then, but this does not mean that the Russians had the right to occupy this land!
是当时的历史条件所限吗？是国力真就如此之弱吗？就那么不足千人的沙俄兵就能成这么大的事？这太不公平了！这是先人犯下的大错！几千年战史的中国， 就在这迷糊之中吃了大亏。可是，蒙古是不该丢的啊，国内当时那么多军队，苏俄又刚刚成立，张大帅打了二次直奉 大战，却不派一个师去外蒙，我们中国人是该好好反思一下了。反思我们的精神、我们的民族意识。。
Then historical conditions were like that? Or was China really that weak? But so that a detachment of soldiers tsarist Russia less than a thousand people could accomplish such a great deed - this is extremely unfair! This is a huge mistake made by our ancestors! China, with its military history of several thousand years, suffered in that confusion great damage. But Mongolia definitely should not have been left. Then in China there was such a large army, and the USSR had just been created. Marshal Zhang got involved in civil war, however, he did not send an army to Mongolia - we, the Chinese, need to think about this carefully! Reflect on our mentality and people's self-consciousness ...
好在，我们还知道自已是泱泱大国，我们的青年还知道五千年文明之炽热，有一代领袖给我们的精神原子弹。伟大领袖毛主席教导我们；世上无难事，只要肯登攀！东风吹，战鼓擂，这个世界谁怕谁！不怕南面虎，要防北面熊！
The good thing is that we know that our country is great country. That in us, in youth, there is an ardor ignited by a five-thousand-year-old civilization. That there is a generation of our leaders that gave us " atomic bomb mighty spirit." The great helmsman Chairman Mao taught us: “There are no difficult things in this world, you just need to decide to take them on! Let the east wind blow, let the drums of war rumble, let's see who is afraid of whom in this world! Don't be afraid of the southern tiger (USA), but protect yourself from the northern bear (USSR)."
如今，北面熊已轰然倒下，已经不是防它的事了。领土问题是资源问题，也更是尊严问题。北极熊不但占了我们的资源，也伤了中国的尊严。打个比方说，我 和你是邻居，上辈人占了你家菜园，如今我家地方又大，人口又子们在有花有草的院子里可以尽情玩闹，骑车、赛马。而你家人口多，地方 小，孩子们经常会问你，为何他们家有那么大的地方呢？我就不信，这时人会没有仇恨，没有耻辱！俄国人直接占了我们150多万平方公里的土地，蒙古又是 150多万平方公里。这里有多少财富、多少资源、多少美景、多少森林、河流、珍 稀动物！整整300万平方公里啊！
Today, the northern bear fell to the ground with a loud crash - protection from it is no longer a problem. Questions of territory are questions of resources, and most importantly, a question of honor. The polar bear not only occupied our resources, but also caused an insult to Chinese honor. To give an example: suppose you and I are neighbors. My ancestors occupied your garden, and now I have a large plot, there are few people - children can play in the garden with herbs and flowers, ride a bicycle and ride a horse. You have a lot of mouths in your family, but not enough land - children often ask you: “why do they have so much land?” I do not believe that in such a situation hatred will not arise, there will be no shame for humiliation. The Russians have occupied over 1.5 million sq. km. of our land, Mongolia, is also more than 1.5 million square meters. km. How much riches there are, how many resources, beauties, forests, rivers, rare animals! On all these 3 million sq. km!
2000的多的土地？为了和俄国 人结盟吗？为了俄国的几架苏飞机吗？为了俄国有核武吗？还是为了多一事不如少一事？我们没有任何理由！
The Israelis and the Arabs, because of several kilometers of land, grappled in such a way that you can’t divorce. The Jews have only an argument that their ancestors were masters of this land 2000 years ago. In comparison, why should we leave such large lands? To be in alliance with the Russians? For the sake of a few Russian planes? Because Russia has atomic weapon? Or because one less problem is better than one more problem? We have no reason for this!
实际上很多国人已经对这片土地生疏了，淡漠了，这是多么让人悲伤啊！更多的国人是只看到了中俄暂时的战略伙伴，俄国的强大核武装，根本就不去想那北方的故土了。难到就真的无法恢复中国人在远东的主权了吗？难到在当前形式下真的不能有所做为吗？我们该做些什 么？
移民！！！
In fact, many of our people have already moved away from this land and lost interest in it - and this is so bitter! Even more of our people see only that temporarily China and Russia are strategic partners, that Russia has a powerful nuclear weapon, and therefore do not even want to think about native land in the north. Is there really no way to restore the sovereign rights of the Chinese in the Far East? Is there really nothing we could do under these conditions? What should we do?
Immigrate!!!
港、澳回归的根本原因是那里大多数居民是中国人，东北没有变成满洲国是因为族人口占绝大多数，统一台湾的理由也是那里是中国人。西藏闹独立是因为 那里汉人太少 －是俄国人。 在我们怀念的那块土地上有多少俄国人呢？在整个东西伯利亚1000万 1000万人！那里按新疆的人口密度也该是一亿人口。这就是我们的希望，也是我们可以努力的原因。这种努力的结果是中国人可以在当地立足，并 成为当地居民的多数，最终 成为那里实际的主人！
The main reason for the return of Hong Kong and Macau is that the majority of those living there are Chinese. Our northeast did not become the Manchurian State because the overwhelming majority there are Chinese. The reason for the unification of Taiwan is the same - the Chinese live there. In Tibet, they advocate independence because there are too few Chinese. And Xinjiang will never become independent because the Chinese have already become the most numerous nationality there. Far East did not separate from the USSR because there are Russians. On the land that we are thinking about, how many Russians are there? On 10 million sq. km. Eastern Siberia there are only 10 million people! If you look at the population density of Xinjiang, then there should be 100 million. This is our hope and the reason for our efforts. The result of these efforts should be that the Chinese will first gain a foothold there, then become the majority of the local population, and, in the end, the real masters!
美洲是白种人的！澳洲是白种人的！我们没有抢到，可是我们的亚洲老家却也被白种人占了一大片！难到我们亚洲地方够多够大？难到我们东方文明不如西方 文明？西方之所以有黄祸论，就是因为他们的‘白祸’已经把我们祸害完了！如今，我们不说要分裂俄国远 东的大话，我们只要成为当地居民的一份子，只是在一定程度上恢复中华民族在远东的利益，这于情于理有何不可！
In America - White race, in Australia - also a white race. We did not snatch anything from anyone, and in our native Asia a large piece turned out to be occupied by the white race! Is there really enough land for everyone in our Asia? Is our Eastern culture worse than Western? The “yellow threat” that the West is talking about exists because their “white threat” has already done us a lot of damage. On currently we will not make loud speeches about the need to split off the Far East from Russia, we just need to become part of its inhabitants and restore, to some extent, the interests of the Chinese nation in this region. What is impossible from an emotional and rational point of view in this?
按照物理学中的渗透原理，中国一方人口密度大，俄国一方人口密度小，中国人口自然流入俄方是一种正常现象，可是这十多年来，真正在俄罗斯定居的中国 人的确是很少，具体数量我想能以千来计算就不错了，这主要是因为俄国的经济不佳、治安不好、和俄国不是传统移 民国家等原因，可是既使这样，在前苏解体后的十年左右时间里，俄罗斯政客们及其支持下的新闻媒体，仍然时而不时的放出中国威胁论，中国移民威胁等论调！危 言耸听地说在远东有几百万中国人。可以说这十多年的时间里，如果有政府的支持引导，在远东—的确会有上百万华人移民存在，当地会半中国化，当地经济政治文 化会与中国建立密切的割不断的联系，当地经济会与中国共同繁荣，甚至成为俄国经济发展的一个主要动力，这是个双赢的结局。其结果反而会加强中俄战略伙伴关 系！只是在俄国方面，有一些被迫和无奈的 意味。
According to physical laws filtration, in China there is a significant population density, and in Russia this density is low. Thus, the outflow of Chinese to Russia is a normal phenomenon. However, over the past ten years, too few Chinese have truly settled in Russia. I think that if we count real numbers thousands, you can't go wrong.
事实上是：这十多年的时间过去了，中国并没有这样做，可是俄国人就此成为我们的朋友了吗？一直到现在，我们一直是俄国人口诛笔伐的最大移民威胁。可 见，既使我们不这样做，在俄国人眼里，我们仍然是威胁。其威胁要大于美国。我们真要是这样做了，俄国人反而会 无奈地接受事实，中国和俄国会走的更近。
In fact, over the past ten small years China didn't do that. However, does this mean that the Russians have become our friends? Until now, both verbally and in writing, the Russians commemorate us as the biggest threat to themselves. As you can see, even if we don't do that, we are still a threat to the Russians, even more so than the US. But if we do so, then the Russians will have no choice but to accept the current state of affairs. And then China and Russia will become closer friend to friend.
正是现时的形势决定了只能用移民的办法。热战不但美、俄打不了，中俄之间也打不了，硬碰硬是不行的，这是问题的根本。中国不能用核弹打俄国，但是一 样道理，俄国也不可能用核弹打移民！那么俄国人当然会对移民这一招有所防，它如何防呢？是全面禁止中国人入境 ？是全面中止中、俄贸易？是大量驱走华人？现在中、俄是暂时的战略伙伴，双方都是互为利用，移民不到一个‘点’时。双方是不会撒破面皮的。而且只是以民间 的方式进行，政府间还照打交道。不会影响中国面向海洋发展，不会影响中国在亚、太与美、日对抗 ，不会影响统一台湾。
The present situation shows that in fact we can only use the immigration method. There will be no war between the US and Russia, nor between China and Russia - we can't hit heads together, and this is the root of the problem. China can't use nukes to fight Russia, but Russia can't use nukes to fight settlers either! It is clear that the Russians will put all possible obstacles in the way of the settlers, but what can they do? Completely ban the entry of Chinese into Russia? Completely stop Sino-Russian trade? Expel Chinese in large numbers? On this moment China and Russia are temporary strategic partners and act in the name of mutual interests, so the “hour” of immigration has not yet come, since both sides cannot “lose face”. But still, if such actions are carried out as spontaneously popular, and normal relations are continued at the government level, this will not affect the confrontation with the United States and Japan in the Asia-Pacific region and unification with Taiwan.
这个‘点’在何时，是什么样？那是不确定的，那要看我们的努力，让俄国人找不到这个‘点’。要让俄国人永远也下不了决心，直到生米煮成熟饭！最差不过是夹生饭，总是比没有强啊！
When will the “hour” of immigration come, and what will it be like? This is not yet determined and depends on our efforts. It is necessary that the Russians never find out when it came, so that they can never make decisions, and then “it will be too late to drink Borjomi”! Even if we just make them "half kidney failure", it's already better than nothing!
因为移民，导致中、俄撕破脸皮，值不值？中、俄迟早要撕破脸皮!历史的恩怨，人种的不同，文化的不同，互相的猜疑，二个都很强的邻居能长期友好吗？未来是不可测的，难到就为这不可能长存的所谓友好，放弃这巨大的机会吗？
Is it worth it to worsen relations between China and Russia because of immigration? But sooner or later it will happen! Strong neighbors of different races and with different culture who have gone through bad and a good relationship suspecting each other - can they remain friends for a long time? The future, of course, is not known, but is it possible, because of this so-called friendship, which, moreover, will not last long, to miss such a huge chance?
说现在还是机会，是因为俄国已经很弱，其经济总量不到中国的四分之一，其人民很穷，虽也不是很富的中国人有经济能力在远东生存。何况现在远东的中国人都是挣俄国人钱，这样去那里移民费用不高，所以可以大量移民。
Now we still have this chance, because Russia is already greatly weakened, its entire economy does not reach the fourth part of China's, and the population is extremely poor. So the Chinese, although not very rich, have enough economic potential to survive in the Far East. And even more so, since now the Chinese in the Far East are making money from the Russians, the costs of resettlement are low, which makes mass immigration possible.
那么俄国的有关移民法律呢？俄国是联邦国家，远东各共和国、州、地区都是有立法权和司法权的主权实体，只要有熟知远东游戏规则的移民公司导向，移民 的法律地位是可以解决的。当然，也要在从少到多的移民过程中慢慢找到最好的确定身份的办法。当有了一定数量长 期居住的华人侨民时，就会演变成一个当地群体争取权益的斗争。也就是说在开始阶段，能符合当地法律的就尽量符合，有了一定力量时，就不能完全听凭俄国人的 一纸律令，因为这其实是一场战争！
Does Russia have immigration laws? Russia is a federal state. In the Far East, each of the republics, districts and districts has full-fledged bodies with legislative and judicial power. If only immigration will be conducted by a company, well knowing the rules games in the Far East, then the problem of the legal status of immigrants can be solved. Of course, in the process of increasing immigration from small to large numbers, one must gradually seek the best way resolving the issue of their status. The moment there is reached a certain amount of permanently residing Chinese settlers, this will result in a struggle for the rights and interests of this group of people in this territory. This means that on initial stage we must comply as far as possible with local laws, and when a certain force has accumulated, we will not have to completely obey the decrees of the Russians, because, in fact, we will be on the battlefield!
,织，现在是组建阶段，要做的事——我的想法：一、宣 做事要有人才行，我们要做这样的大事[我们做的事是会让后人写在历史上的]需要有一些人构成一个核心，这些人必须是为了我们的共同理想走 到一起来，并能为这个理想矢志不渝地奋斗，奉献一切，不惜牺牲。全中国13亿人，有13个人加盟我们的核心就是一个有力量的体。
First, we need to found our "East India Company" (I recommend calling it the "East Siberian Company") - this will people's organization with political goals. At the current, initial stage, the main thing, in my opinion, is to do this: 1) Engage in propaganda and the search for comrades. For our business we need talented people. For such a great accomplishment (and our deeds will be recorded by descendants in history), people are needed who will create its core. These people should go together common purpose must swear to fight hard for her, to give everything and not hesitate to sacrifice themselves. There are 1.3 billion people in our country, if there are 13 people who unite, then our core will become such a strong organization.
二、进入远东地区。我们要在远东立足，在今天中、俄不敌对状态下，是不能激起国人政治热情的，也先不要去想得到政府的支持，必须要有自已的经济能 力，经济行为也可掩盖我们的真实目的。钱从何处来？我们一起想办法，我说东西伯利亚公司可以下设多种分公司：移 民公司，中俄贸易公司，及在远东城乡的饭店、农庄等，只要我们团结一致，在远东立足是不成问题的。
2) Penetrate the Far East. We need to gain a foothold in the Far East. In conditions when China and Russia do not oppose each other, one cannot appeal to the political feelings of our fellow citizens and one should not think about obtaining support from the government. We need to have our own economic power, and besides, economic actions will hide our true goals. Where will we get money from? I propose to think about it together, in my opinion, it is possible to establish at Vostochno-Sibirskaya a large number of various branches: an immigration company, a Chinese-Russian trading company, as well as Chinese restaurants, farms, etc. If we are united, then gaining a foothold in the Far East will not be a problem.
三、长远目标展望。我们在远东有了一定基础后，收买俄奸，联合当地黄种人各民族，用尽一切办法向远东移民[只要宣传得当，以经济利益吸引大量国人不是问题]，有了大量国人定居，有我们这样的组织，只要一有时机，我们可以做各种文章。也可得到祖国的支持，必能成事！
3) Long-term plans. After we have some base in the Far East, bribe the traitors among the Russians, unite the various tribes of the yellow race, then we will begin immigration to the Far East in full force (it is enough to organize propaganda in the right way and then with the help of economic benefits attracting a large number of Chinese will not be a problem). When there will be a large number of our people living on a permanent basis, with an organization under our supervision, it is enough to have a convenient moment when we can start writing various articles. And then we will definitely get the support of the Motherland!
以上是我一人所想，我现在为我们的事业所做的，就是在联络有志之士，如何进行我们的事业，还要靠所有有志远东者多费心思，指出不足。
The above is my thoughts on the matter. For our common cause, I have already begun to contact interested people. As for how we should continue this undertaking, all those interested in the Far East should be thinking and worrying, as well as pointing out shortcomings and mistakes.
说说远东的国人现状: 中国人在俄国多为过客，为了挣钱曾经如潮水一般多，现已潮落，真正定居者很少，只能以几千计，也散在各个角落。现在远东地区也就是赤塔、伊尔库次克、布 市、有数千中国商人。这些人是否定居还不一定。中国人和俄罗斯通婚的事不少，绝大多数是中国男人找俄国女 人。
Let's also say a few words about the current situation of our compatriots in the Far East - the Chinese in Russia are mostly just temporary guests. At one time, to earn money, there was an influx of Chinese, but now the tide has come. There are very few truly permanent residents, maybe several thousand, moreover scattered in different corners. Now in the Far East, only in Chita, Irkutsk, Blagoveshchensk, there are several thousand Chinese merchants. Whether they will last long is debatable. There are many marriages between Chinese and Russians, mostly Chinese men are looking for Russian women.
30多万、布里亚特人40多万、朝鲜人10多万。这说明我们不会陷入白种人的海洋。我 在远东所见，当地不存在种族问题。在俄罗斯发展其实也很简单两国存在很多差异互补,可以在 或加入当地的中国商人之中。然后可想法定居。 高起点, 可以直接在远东办公司。
And yet, in the Far East there is a certain number of Asian national minorities, more than 300 thousand Yakuts, more than 400 thousand Buryats, more than 100 thousand Koreans. And this means that we will not perish in the ocean of white people. From what I've seen in the Far East, there are no racial issues. It is actually quite simple to rise in Russia, the cost of going there is not high, and since there is a commodity deficit between the two countries, which is satisfied on both sides, it is possible to develop economically well there. If we talk about a modest start, then you can first go there, then work on the spot for a Chinese company or join the ranks of Chinese merchants - in general, surviving is not a problem, but you can earn a hundred thousand yuan in a year. Well, then you can think about permanent residence. And for a strong start, you can immediately open a company in the Far East.
关于如何取得在俄罗斯永久定居权,在这方面参考《俄联邦外国公民法律地位法》是如何规定的。常期居住在俄的中国人,多为以下几种:一,持中国护照, 定期在当地签证,每年交一定费用,类似暂住费。二,在当地学校留学。三,在当地注册的中资公司人员。四,和俄 国人通婚的。 五,花钱在当地买定居权的。六,少量土生华人。
On how to get a permanent residence permit in Russia, you need to look at what the Russian The federal law on legal status. The Chinese living in Russia for a long time are mainly divided into several types. The first is with a Chinese passport and visas for a certain period. Every year they pay a certain fee, something like a temporary residence fee. The second is students in local educational institutions. The third is employees of companies with Chinese capital registered in this territory. Four are married to Russians. Fifth - redeemed the right to permanent residence. The sixth is a small number of Chinese born there.
目前国内尚无专办移民俄罗斯的公司,本人虽是势单力微,可是热情高涨,一切都在探索中。召一切有条件的国人，有血性的中国男儿，了解俄国的志士，熟 知俄语的同学，浪迹过远东的同胞，大家行动起来，到远东去！去生存，去扎根，去发展，去找寻我们民族的荣誉！ 我看这样做是大有希望啊！其实，就是希望很小，我们也应该付出最大的努力，我们必竟去做了，不管成与不成，成多大事，我们是为了祖国的光荣而战斗过的！中 国的后人是会记住我们的！
让我们为中国人的光荣共勉！
At present, there is no company in our country that would organize immigration to Russia. Although I have only one person at my disposal, I am very enthusiastic and have devoted myself entirely to investigating this issue. I call on all fellow citizens who have financial means, all just and brave Chinese men, all highly moral people with knowledge of Russia, all comrades who know the Russian language well, all compatriots who once visited the Far East - let's all move together to Far East! Let's move there to live there, to put down roots, to develop there, to gain the glory of our people there! I think if we do this, then we have big hopes to success! Even if hope were very small, we should still put all our efforts into doing so. It doesn't matter whether we succeed or not, or how far we succeed, because we will leave, fighting for the glory of our homeland! Future generations of Chinese people will remember us! Let's encourage each other for the greater glory of the Chinese people!
According to the American press, which cites a report prepared for Congress, insidious Chinese spies regularly infiltrated US national security structures and managed to gain access to classified data as a result. For example, to the instructions of the Pentagon in case of a possible conflict between America and China. In particular, the Chinese reportedly infiltrated the base of the FBI and the US Pacific Command. It is noteworthy that Washington lays the blame for this failure on a certain American employee who passed secret data to a Chinese woman with whom he had a relationship. What exactly is not specified. But, apparently, very serious ones, since the Chinese side allegedly had at its disposal US military plans, information about the deployment nuclear weapons and the latest drone. As well as a secret report on the strategy of the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon towards the PRC.
Of particular concern in Washington is the fact that another official, recruited by Beijing, allegedly gave the Chinese side documents on technologies in the field of surveillance - one of the key areas that allows Washington to claim global dominance and global control. All of this combined could jeopardize the vast US intelligence network. How else, if in the hands of the Chinese, reportedly, there were data on millions of fingerprints, which "easily and naturally" can be used to identify American government agents working in an illegal format.
If all this is true, then this story is undoubtedly a big failure for the United States. And a big annoyance for Washington. After all, until recently, they sincerely believed that it was almost their exclusive right to keep track of everyone, including the leaders of friendly and partner states. However, as practice shows, the example of Edward Snowden turned out to be contagious for many American citizens. It is not in vain that they are already called the "second Snowden" former employee National Security Agency Harold Thomas "Third" Martin, who stole top-secret data on American spies. What can we say about supposedly Russian hackers, who, as they say, gutted all the mail Democratic Party and exert on the elections, according to one of the presidential candidates, a direct and immediate influence? If it goes on like this, then everyone who is not lazy will get into the "leaky" information protection system in the United States.
As for the information at the disposal of Beijing about the actions of Washington in the event of a war with China, these are just details. Useful, for example, to the defense department of the Middle Kingdom. After all, the very likelihood of a conflict with China and Russia in the United States is assessed as very high. And not just some outside experts and tabloid reporters, but real generals. In early October, during the annual conference of the US Army Association in Washington, several senior military officials bluntly stated that the US war against Russia and China was supposedly almost inevitable, it would be quick and would lead to colossal casualties. True, it was about the use of conventional weapons, in the development of which, to the displeasure of Washington, Moscow and Beijing have achieved serious success. However, the generals did not specify exactly how the conflicting parties would be able to avoid the use of weapons of mass destruction.
Any Russian tourist, no doubt, will be interested in the question of what is the attitude towards him in this or that country. Going to China, it does not hurt to take care and find out about the opinion of local residents about people from Russia. Therefore, I propose to dwell on this issue more details.
Appearance is the first thing that attracts the attention of the Chinese
Perhaps it is worth going in order, and the first thing that comes to mind is external data. The first thing they pay attention to people with blond hair and light eyes, such as blue or green. Therefore, do not be surprised if they point the finger at you and at the same time shout: “Hello!” after. Since you are with such an appearance, you stand out strongly among the local population, which guarantees a manifestation to you special interest. If you are the owner of dark skin and dark hair, and also have brown eyes, then it will not be possible to notice a foreigner in you right away, but still the difference is obvious.
But, if a Russian tourist hides his hair and eyes under a hat and glasses and, for example, takes an interest in the road, then it is unlikely that a Chinese will be able to recognize you as a Russian.
In cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, there are a huge number of foreigners. The fact that you are not a Chinese, of course, will be noticed immediately, but they will not focus on this, as is often the case in the provinces of the country. In the summer, in general, it seems that there are more foreigners here than indigenous people.
How to stick to memory
But in the capital of the country, Beijing, the situation is not so simple, namely in the summer. Since the city with such an amazing attraction as the "Forbidden City" is a kind of "Mecca" for local residents.
As usual, all conclusions and stories about how Russians are treated in China are based on living examples. Let's take one of them. A visiting resident of Samara, while in China, asked passers-by about the location of a particular street, but the majority of people denied it, referring to the fact that they themselves did not know anything, because they came from the provinces and were poorly oriented in the metropolis. This happened in the summer, but in the fall or in the spring, the streets of the city are mostly filled with metropolitan residents.
The local population may wish to joint photo with you. Walking the streets, or enjoying local memos, you should not be surprised if a situation arises when a Chinese wants to take a picture with you. Therefore, tune in to the positive and smile wider so that the local resident will remain in the memory of a benevolent guest of his country. It is not uncommon in China that a mother, father or grandmother will politely ask you to do with their child. joint photo. The Chinese love when they meet Russians, to capture best moments taking pictures of them together. For such spiritual deeds, they were always very grateful. The Chinese are one of those peoples who know how to be grateful, which makes them want to do something good for them too.
The majority of Chinese people are very friendly to tourists from other countries. If we take into account the entire period of stay in this amazing country, then Russian girls simply never come across something dissatisfied with the faces of the Chinese. Moreover, even people passing by, if you meet their eyes, are always smiling.
Russians are very friendly
In this case, most likely this is due to the common history of our peoples. When there were times of socialism, China treated the Soviet Union as its big brother in matters that concerned politics and economics.
These events marked the beginning of a respectful attitude towards representatives from Russia, which has survived to this day. Some Russians folk songs even translated into Chinese famous translator Xue Fan. And if a situation arises that you are lost and do not know where to go next, then they will unconditionally help you out of a difficult situation, since they have the phrase in their mentality: “Serving is life.”
This manifests itself quite clearly when you find yourself in a local restaurant or shop, because sellers and waiters instantly run up to you with a desire to offer the best product and best places to maximize customer satisfaction. This is based on the desire to ensure that you have a pleasant time in their establishment and that everyone has only good memories of the establishment. Many may think that this is due to their professions and responsibilities, but the desire to help is inherent in their mentality, and here they always want the people around them to be filled with joy.
Reaching for history Chinese people, one can observe such interesting feature. At a time when neighboring Korea was a vassal of China, its duties included providing tribute to the emperor of China. And when the wagons returned to Korea, locals as a token of gratitude, in return they presented neighbors with various gifts. As a result, it turned out that the Koreans did not return empty-handed. Thus, one can be sure that the hospitality of today's Chinese comes from their ancestors.
The people are smiling, but cunning (comments)
Despite the good nature of how Russian tourists are treated in China, it does not hurt to know one of their special character traits - cunning. Moreover, we are coming. Since there is a stereotype here that if a person comes from abroad, then he will definitely have money. Of course, things should not come to theft, but to rob or cheat in the market is in the order of things, and it is difficult for the locals to resist such an opportunity. As a result, when you hear one of these phrases - “laowai” or “wai go jen”, which translates as “foreigner”, it is better to smile and be ready. For the people of China, visitors are the so-called foreign dolls, and if you come to travel, then they have a reason to get a little rich.
Chinese and Russians - friendship
These people are quite friendly and polite when you communicate with them. Although cases are not uncommon in which people did not bring their money to banks. In the Middle Kingdom, it would be most correct to constantly control your documents and money. After all, it is not so pitiful and scary to lose a camera and a phone, as documents and money, without which it will not be possible to safely return home. It is better to always carry your passport with you, because without it it is impossible to buy a ticket even for a train. Also, you will not be able to get a room in a decent hotel, and plus, it will be impossible to exchange currency in a bank.
In order to guarantee a good impression of your stay in China, of course, basic knowledge of the languages \u200b\u200bof this country will not interfere in order to be able to explain the most elementary things. Today there are a huge number basic courses, having studied which, the traveler will feel more confident in a foreign state. In such classes, not only phrases are taught, but also various, life situations which often happen to Russian tourists. In addition, there is an opportunity to discover the culture and history of this amazing country. There is learning to correctly pose the question and answer it.
About queues in China
It will be interesting for Russians to know that the Chinese practically do not share the concept of a queue. It is no secret that China is a country that is very densely populated. Therefore, there are always huge streams of people on the street who are in a hurry somewhere. Once on the subway or decide to ride the bus, you do not have to stand in line. People merge into one mass, which is constantly directed somewhere. Because of what it is better to always keep everything under control.
But, despite the constant presence of a huge number of people, everyone behaves in a civilized and well-mannered way. Even during rush hour, you can safely get to right place, without any unpleasant moments associated with a crush in transport or dissatisfaction with the limited personal space. At this time, calm but rather loud conversations take place while the bus arrives at the specified time. Therefore, for the Chinese, the queue is not so important, because even without it, everything can be resolved calmly and in harmony with others.
"Unaccustomed" Chinese
What for us may seem like complete lack of culture, the Chinese do not cause any irritable traits, and they are incredibly calm about it. For example, on the street people spit - and consider it quite normal. Even in gastronomic establishments, you should not be surprised if you see a Chinese who talks with his mouth full, and at the same time they champ while chewing food. Also a feature of the country is the constant rumble in the street, because people here are used to talking loudly and screaming. And you should not take all this personally, because the Chinese, in this way, do not show you bad attitude. It's just how they behave. Naturally, the Chinese are a little different than the Europeans we are used to. And this is manifested not only in the habits already mentioned, but also in impeccable patriotism and pride in one's country. This also applies to the native land and locality of the Chinese, whether it be an entire state, a city, or just a small province. Everyone cherishes their roots. Also, family and people in general are highly valued here. So, tourists should still look for such patriotic residents of the state.
Yes, the Chinese are different from the Europeans. All this has the best effect on the unification and unity of all Chinese, which gives them strength and friendship. The current behavior of the Chinese and, in general, their attitude to the world around them has been formed over many centuries, so it is practically impossible to change something in their current behavior. Although, in principle, nothing should be changed, because this is the whole feature of the Chinese and does not serve as any barrier to communicating with them.
The way Russians are treated in China is unusual and different, because, despite all the hospitality of the current Chinese, the older generation has left a small residue from the time of its existence. Soviet Union. Since even in those years there was a small competitive spirit. It concerned how sports achievements, and in general military power states. Many assume that only envy played a role here. After all, the Russians had more land, stronger army. In addition, a considerable piece of the once Chinese territory went to Russia. This applies to Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin, Stanovoy Upland, Baikal. In those years, the territory was not really inhabited by the Chinese, but the very fact that it belonged to their state remains a fact.
How this happened is still not clear. Perhaps the reason was historical events. Or China was still inferior to Russia in strength. After all, how else to explain the fact that a detachment of soldiers, whose number did not reach even a thousand, was able to carry out such an operation? Of course, this is unfair, according to the Chinese, and many consider this a mistake of their ancestors, because, despite more than a thousand years of combat experience, they managed to concede to such a tiny detachment and lose a huge piece of territory.
But the years go by, all the bad things are forgotten and left in the past. Today's generation of the Chinese people live in reality and try to tune in to positive thinking in order to live in harmony with the outside world. And those people who still dislike Russians are becoming less and less. Moreover, neighbors should not hold evil against each other, but on the contrary, provide support and show understanding.
Also now there are many social programs for students, thanks to which young people can study abroad and learn from the experience and culture of the Chinese people.
Therefore, if there is a desire to go on a trip to China, then you should treat the country with understanding and accept it with all its positive and negative components. Although the latter are very few, and they cannot spoil the impression of this amazingly beautiful and landscape country, and guests from Russia will always be greeted with a smile on their faces and good nature in their hearts.

- for Russian speaking tourists
Many of our compatriots had to live in the Chinese town of Harbin, founded by Russian people. A huge number of Russian people live there: they are students, office workers and employees large enterprises, as well as people who have tied the knot. I had to communicate with them a lot, learn, so I want to touch on the topic of the attitude of the Chinese towards Russian-speaking visitors.
Most Russian visitors live in northern China. These are translators and people who own their own business. However, the majority of Russian speakers are shuttles. There are enough students in the city, but I believe that Russians still prefer the South or Beijing.
In the northern region of China, the Russians are already well known. Many Chinese merchants have partnerships with them. In addition, border towns are located here, many people come for a shopping tour at the weekend. These are Suifenkhe, Manzhouli and other border cities.
Attitude towards Russians in northern China
But in Lately, more often you can find bad reviews about the activities of our compatriots. They are accused of alcohol addiction and also in prostitution. Often in small towns there are conflicts between the Chinese and Russians.
Attitude towards Russians in southern China
In the southern region, things are different. It's about about the city of Shenzhen or about Guangzhou. There are many times more Russians here, because large companies and representations. In some parts of China, many Chinese do not know anything about Russia, conflict situations there are fewer, more precisely, they are not heard of. In the south, only a small part of the Chinese understands Russian, preference is given to English.
In general, relations between Russia and China can be called friendly or even fraternal. Even the song "Russian and Chinese brothers forever" was written. Friendship was quite trustworthy. In the future, years passed, and relations cooled, but now the culture of kinship and communication is reviving again.
Causes of misunderstanding of Russians in China
The main reasons for the misunderstanding and not particularly friendly attitude were the territorial disputes between Russia and China, now we are talking about the islands of Primorsky Krai. But ordinary Chinese do not even remember this. But, as far as I know, earlier, part of the territory of Primorsky Krai was owned by China.
Another significant factor is the attitude of Russian girls. The Chinese do not treat Russian girls very well, with contempt, and often make jokes about chastity. Russian girls have greatly spoiled the image of Russia, as they were engaged in prostitution in nightclubs in China. In addition, they often had problems with visas, they were often overdue. Even today, many Chinese are perplexed and wonder why girls from Russia refuse to go to their home for financial encouragement.
In China, we have seen many funny marriages. Most often it is a Chinese and a Russian girl. The Chinese may be pursuing profit, because by marrying a Russian, they have the right to obtain a residence permit and even citizenship, which will allow them to legally do business. There are marriages of Russian men with Chinese girls, here I don’t know what the benefit can be, most likely men choose their women for love. Russian girls expect from the Chinese who have their own business, financial assistance. But the Chinese have become smarter - after a few years life together, they reduce the flow of this financial stream.
