Japanese blogger Koki, who lives in Russia and is married to a Russian woman, spoke in his video blog about the kindness of the inhabitants of the country. The Japanese called the widespread opinion about the severity of Russians and the horrors of Russian life "propaganda against Russia and black advertising," PolitRussia reports.
Koki came to Russia to study and studied Russian for seven years. In Russia, he met his future wife. According to the blogger, there are many hard-hitting rumors circulating around Russia that do not correspond to reality. Koki believes that propaganda makes the Japanese fear Russia.
Koki said that he often discouraged his Japanese friends that Russians never smile. According to the blogger, our compatriots more often show positive emotions than residents of Japan.
He also highlighted the hospitality and friendliness of the Russians. Koki recalls that during his life in Nizhny Novgorod, local residents did everything to make him feel at home. He also liked the Russian tradition of wishing all the best to one's neighbor. He noted that there is a different understanding of friendship in Russia and Japan. In Russia, friends will not leave you in trouble.
