Why Russians don’t smile

In this video I share some thoughts on the apparently famous stereotype that Russians don't smile - why I think that is and some general reflections having been brought up in Russia

So recently I found out that "Why do Russians never smile at you/ why don't Russians smile?" was one of the most googled questions about Russians!🙃 And while I was surprised that this question was that popular I also realised that I've heard it float around here and there and I've come across people asking about this in real life too. Having grown up in Russia, I wanted to dissect this stereotype and share some thoughts on why I think in exists and what to do about it if you're not quite ready to give up on us Russians yet 😉 Do bear in mind that I am obviously only one person and by no means representative of the Russian population or know the "truth" about Russian people - so don't take my opinion as any more than that. But if you are curious and would like random thoughts from a. random Russian - this is for you! Let me know your thoughts or questions, I am always happy to chat in the comments!
