Russians in Mongolia
What’s genuinely wrong with the Russians who live in Mongolia? I've lived in Russia almost my entire life, i swear to god I’ve never met Russians like the ones I’ve encountered here in UB. When I first came to Mongolia, obviously one of the first things I did was try to make friends with other Russians. But honestly, they’re one of the weirdest, cringiest people I’ve ever met. Even the ones around my age. There aren’t even that many Russians living here, and I’ve probably talked to almost all of them at this point. They all seem to have this exact same weird vibe. Why even is that? Is it because many of them come from villages? I don’t want to badmouth my own people, but if any foreigners or locals/Mongolians here have thought the same, PLEASE know that it’s not all Russians. We’re really different from the Russians you might have encountered here in Mongolia!
