I learnt my German with a mainly Russian/Ukrainian group of people. They're all fucking crazy - the Russians moreso.
Classes were 3 hours long with a 15 minute break in the middle. During one break we were outside and an older lady walked past with her dog. One of the Russian guys went to pat the dog, which growled at him (little terrier type thing). A quick discussion between him and other guy ensued, and then the first dude just sets off after the lady and her dog. I asked what he was doing and the other classmate says "He's going to her house to kill her dog".
What the fuck? I didn't know whether to take him seriously or not (because they don't joke much and when they do it's often hard to tell) - sure enough, the next day he comes in all smiles and tries to tell us how he
broke the dogs neck.
Any group conflict in my town involves Russians - nobody else.
damn, a serial killer in the making.
Some of the clubs down here in the DC area are owned by Russians. But, one thing I noticed, a lot of the Russian and Ukrianian women (who are fine as hell) have these dorky looking men as boyfriends (presumably from the same country and ethnicity), who dress in "high water" pants, and worn Vans-like shoes, that are tied very tightly, with worn, long shoelaces. The dudes usually look very homely, and the women look drop dead gorgeous.
