Why are russian people so rude?
user
It is difficult to say why Russian people are considered to be rude as it depends on an individual's interpretation of being 'rude'. However, there are a number of cultural factors which contribute to the way Russians interact with each other and their behaviour may be seen as abrupt or impolite by those from different cultures. For example, direct and forthright expressions of feelings such as happiness or dissatisfaction can seem rude in some societies; whereas in Russian culture this type of communication is accepted. Additionally, time seems to be something that Russian people do not always consider valuable when engaging in conversation or any other kind of activity; this also may seem rude from an outside perspective. Thus, overall perceptions of rudeness will be very subjective depending on an individuals' prior experiences and cultural reference points.

Russian culture is very direct and assertive, which can sometimes be perceived as rude. They tend to speak their mind without mincing words, rather than sugarcoating things. For example, if someone makes a mistake, they will be told directly and in no uncertain terms so that they understand what needs to be improved. This style of communication can often come across as hurtful or insensitive when it is not expressed within the proper cultural context.
