Do you believe that Western Europeans differ much from Eastern in an attitude of communication, argue and so on. We have some stereotypes here in Russia that some of our nations are more conflict, unprincipled but when I see a well-educated man - no matter what is his nationality he is intelligent and having many wise ways to advance one's interests, views, wishes. So, I think, it is all a matter of education and culture...
Well, that's why I don't want to sugarcoat people who are from the Eastern half of the world. I know better to remember I've also seen hostility from them online; stupidity and bad social behavior exists everywhere in the world.
What I only find very specifically different between both is: Westerners are so much occupied by their own culture and the viewpoints it habors towards things. It's literally impossible to make them understand "hey, wait! That's this way IN YOUR SPHERE!". Probabilities are like zero to get it into their heads "other places in the world function according to different rules, and that doesn't make them automatically less virtuous or lets the world go down in them!". I think, as a Russian yourself, you must know what I mean, right?
They constantly judge everything with the socialization they have experienced in Western culture, without ever stumbling upon the idea themselves to take a step back and look at things from a more distant point of view

We “Russians” as the Westerns like to call us are the citizens of one federation and are very different cause it is impossible to draw a line through Russia - here it is the East and here it is the West - South -North where the people differ somehow, if we look at history of Russia we will see that many countries of EU were part of Russia and vs at different times. That's why I doubt there are some profuse differences in people's behavior.
We have different nations which react differently on different problems or issues, plus we have different groups of age and they also tend to act different. It is very difficult to discuss some reactions of Russians without a theme, I do believe.
