American and Russian cultures are very different. In this video I am as Russian decided to discuss the difference of mentalities with my American friend Sophia to finally find the reasons why Russians and Americans don't understand each other.

We discussed the differences of American and Russian reactions to many situations, as well as the specifics of English and Russian languages. We also spoke honestly about our friendship and the misunderstandings we faced because of our nationalities. I hope after watching this video you guys will have a better understanding of cultures!
