Привет, друзья! Today I want to share with you my thoughts why Russians don't (or never) smile and why Russians are so serious. It is just my own opinion and thinking and cannot be 100% truth.
I consider a few following ideas:
1. The weather in Russia
2. Historical aspects
3. Russian Orthodox Church
4. Economic factor
This video has Russian and English captions and I hope can help improve your listening skill.
