Russia is a country of contrasts and peculiarities. Many people on the internet romanticize Russian and Slavic culture and point out the sometimes harsh and bizarre reality of daily life in the region. A reality that no longer makes anyone living there so much as blink anymore. That’s where the ‘A Normal Day in Russia’ subreddit comes in.
An online community of over 1.15 million members, r/ANormalDayInRussia celebrates Russian culture with all of its weirdness, uniqueness, and moments that will have you going, ‘What in the world did I just see?’ Keep in mind, though, that the subreddit focuses on entertainment first and foremost: the stereotypes shown here don’t necessarily show the full width and breadth of living in the country. These photos do, however, indicate the culture shock you might get if you ever do visit.
Scroll down, upvote the pics that made you laugh or left you impressed, and let us know in the comments what you thought of this list. Just remember to keep it light when it comes to all the complicated politics, that’s not what the subreddit or this list is about: the aim is to celebrate cultural quirks and interesting daily life. Got your ushanka hats ready? Then let’s go, PanDAs.
Bored Panda reached out to the r/ANormalDayInRussia moderator team and one of its members was kind enough to go into detail about the idea behind the subreddit in more depth. As the moderator put it, the community isn't just about "bears and vodka" and doesn't want to focus on just these harmful stereotypes. You'll find their comments about steering away from negative content while keeping people entertained below.

The subreddit moderator told Bored Panda that r/ANormalDayInRussia is a very welcoming, inclusive community that has room for absolutely everyone, no matter their country of birth.
"We have a mixed team of moderators, some are actually Russian, some are not. But we are all about inclusion, everyone welcome," they told Bored Panda.
According to the moderator, one thing that sets Russians apart is their directness that's mixed in with warmth. "Russian people are direct, they will not hide their feelings and they will tell you what's on their mind, without sugarcoating. Yet, they will welcome you with open arms and treat you as part of the family," the sub mod noted.

This Bear Has A Death Wish
Gyan Ranjan Pruthal 4 years ago
Had to google the video. That bear was lucky to come out of this alive.
One of the biggest ongoing challenges in the online community is finding the balance between quirky stereotypes and those that are downright harmful. "We are trying to steer away from negative content and try to highlight the actual normal day in Russia, the beauty of the country, and the people who live there," the moderator shared with Bored Panda.
"It's an ongoging challenge," they said about avoiding posts that focus just on the stereotypes. "We would like to keep people entertained, but at the same time, we are weeding out bad content."
I wouldn’t say that I’m an expert on Russian culture—far from it! However, what I can do is share some of my personal insights from my trip to Moscow years and years ago. To put it simply, the part of Russia that I experienced was a land of contrasts: jaw-dropping wealth and heart-breaking poverty existing side by side. Fancy restaurants full of well-off Muscovites can be found just around the corner from Soviet-era bloc houses with tiny shops on the first floor, selling just the essentials.

The parts of Moscow that had the biggest impact on me were the local museums, the gorgeous parks, and the beautiful churches. You can’t deny that it’s a city of culture. At the same time, it really is a global city: you’ll find pretty much any store, shop, or chain restaurant that you’d expect to see in London, Paris, or New York. However, Russia is incredibly vast and Moscow doesn’t represent the entire country (though, of course, certain parts of the city might certainly do).
TikToker Alyssa, who lives in the US and is half Russian and half Ukrainian, previously told me that Russians can be very direct in how they communicate. “In my experience, Americans who visit Russia are surprised at how directly Russians communicate. Russians say what they mean and don’t go out of their way to cushion your feelings the way that Americans are trained to do. Russians tend to value ‘honesty’ over ‘niceness,'” she told Bored Panda.
“There is no one ‘right’ way to live. Everything is relative. Everything goes! Oh, and of course, the other best way for people to connect is food. Lots and lots of food. Burgers and borsch,” Alyssa said.

actually, it's common to do it this way when cleaning a gun. there is only the barrel and base of the gun with no shooting mechanism left so the only hazard would be dealt if he literally stick the gun tip into his eye. You usually clean the barrel until it starts shinning clearly in military training, however, it is completely pointless. It's like cleaning everything with your toothbrush but more hygenic.

Happy New... President?
Samantha Lomb 4 years ago
Technically Medvedev WAS president somewhere in between but he is very forgettable and after watching him dance on Youtube and tell teachers that if they wanted to make. living wage they should get a different job, a bit of a national embarrassment.
Lotten Kalenius 4 years ago
And the fact that Medvedev just served as Putin's marionette, so that Putin could run for president the next term. Nowadays Putin had fixed that by changing the law so that he can be president indefinitely, phuh!

This Is The Normal Way In My Hood. You Need Ak To Prop Your Hood

It's either a pellet gun or fake. Russia has pretty strict gun laws and they have gotten stricter in the wake of the Kazan school shooting and I suspect will get even stricter in the wake of the Perm shooting this week

This is not Russia. It's in Sofia, Bulgaria (considering the car license plate).

Audis have a telescope arm to keep the hood up. They also do not fail you. This is staged.

Dear Glynna Bowood. It is called a gaida, and it is a bagpipe. There is no way that a gaida or any kind of similar thing would be allowed in to a church. Orthodox, Catholic, Reform, Evangelist, Protestant, whatever. They have banned it. It is not a thing that they can use. We use our gaidas and bagpipes for personal reasons. It is a way to express emotions. It is a way to connect with people. Sometimes, when we have a good gaida tune , we dance. It is hard to explain.

If it is, it is not working. He needs a new set of clothes, the one where he turns into a badass and protects his people.

No. Yuck. I hate that term anyway, but seriously, don't actually claim that it's literal.

Regardless of your protected point of view it is, in a very real sense, literal.

It's got all the U.S.A. cowboys jealous. Next thing you'll see in the U.S. is this fashion statement with an app that displays rolling belt buckle designs.

It's in context of the kid I guess. That's what their kid would call em I guess - going by literal sense..it's funny and repulsive at the same time.

I can appreciate this but only because my nickname when I got out of the army and was dating a single mom was Mo Fo Mike. I was glad when that stopped, but it took a few years.

I remember seeing a video of an SUV being chased by the police, SUV just casually drove off the road and up a 60° slope (or something like that, I don't remember the numbers) and the police just stopped and watched him slowly drive away because they knew they wouldn't come up that hill. It was quite hilarious.

All people, across Earth, make it, day by day, the best way they can. In some form or fashion there are people within each country that have an equivalent in another country. The actual problem with humanity is that we absolutely refuse to abandon the tribal aspect of existence even though there truly is no longer a reason to belong to a single tribe in order to survive. Tied to this is the problem of letting our respective governments dictate how we interact with the rest of Humanity. Seriously look at history from the last 100 or so years. You'll see that if there wasn't an external enemy, USSR vs. USA for instance, there was ALWAYS an internal enemy on which the fears, and therefore attention, of the populace to. Politicians, as a whole, are sociopaths who know, to a frightening extent, how to manipulate their desired audience.
