5 facts about Russia. 5 facts about russian family values.

1. Feminism in Russia. Not everyone knows that in Russia there is a so-called "implicit feminism" . And despite the fact that Russian politics is controlled mostly by men, in the other spheres the power is in the hands of women. Schools, medicine, services sector - women manage everywhere. Russian men voluntarily handed the power to the hands of women, because it’s more cultural, industrious, educated and less-drinking alcohol part of the society. 2. Russian names. If you ask any Russian what the most important thing for him in his life, he will tell you that these are family and children. Moreover, this is reflected in the Russian system of naming. Unlike other countries, where between the first and last names parents can give the baby any second name. In Russia middle name is always derived from the name of the father. 3. Family values. Russia has always had an extensive system of family relationships. Of course, this system exists in other countries, but few countries have a separate name for each type of kinship. A large number of close relatives for Russian people is great wealth. 4. Russian grandmother. Once a woman reaches the retirement age (in Russia it is 55 years old), grandmother dedicates her life to her grandchild. A working mother can always be sure that if a child with a grandmother, the child gets everything he needs and even more than he needs. In Russia, there is a particular attitude to older people. The most awful act against the elderly is to send the parents to a nursing home. 4. The difference between generations. Of course because of historical specialties in Russia there is very large gap between the generations. All because of World War II. Russia is still trying to revive the lost people in those days. The current generation has seen war, concentration camps, shops without goods and lines to buy bread only on TV. Now young people can freely tell political jokes, they can leave the country and return to it later. They can even get married to a foreigner and this is normal life in modern Russia. Their grandparents think that all these objects are incredible, and they consider it a great blessing. 00:00:01 Secret of russian name. 00:00:42 Difference between generations 00:01:18 Russian Grandmother 00:02:07 Feminism 00:02:58 Value of Relatives
