    Meet Daniel, a Russian who moved to Montenegro seven years ago and in 2023 decided to relocate to Serbia. Here he does historical research and works as a freelance guide. He walked me through the dark PetrovaradIn catacombs and shared what the biggest difference between Serbs and Montenegrins is, why Novi Sad is better for life than Belgrade, and whether he can truly call Serbia home now. Ajmo!

      I'm surprised you're still beating around the bush regarding the Serbs, in spite of so many phenomenal episodes and time being with us. I'm referring to your point regarding "directness of Serbs" how it's not supposed to "hurt" you etc… My God! Serbs have their anthem – do you recall what is it called? It's Боже правде. You, as a Russian should've recognised before anyone that Serbs see the Truth to be an emanation of divine. I guess you understand what ИСТИНА translates into, without further ado.

      It's funny to me how most foreigners think that we being direct is being kind of rude or disrespectful while we Serbs think not being direct is dishonest and disrespectful, it's all about perspective and how you look at things.

      Ovaj Rus je izabrao Srbiju umesto CG zato što u Srbiji ima manje troškove!!! Sve ostalo je "šarena laža" i biće ih sve više i više sad kad CG udje u EU. Zahvaljujući onom debilu Putinu ruski narod više niko u svetu ne želi kod sebe da vidi osim maloumnih Srba, oni će dolaziti kod nas i pohlepni stanodavci će im izdavati stanove za duple pare a naši studenti kao i do sada neće moći sebi da priušte tako visoke kirije i ostaće bez obrazovanja i mogućnosti za boljim životom….. Ali maloumni Srbi ne obraćaju pažnju na to, bitno je da su Srbi i Rusi braća, da je Kosovo-Srbija i da je Tesla Srbin…😢

      Pokušaću da objasnim za Crnu Goru. Tamo je broj imigranata dostigao broj na oko 30% od ukupnog stanovništva, i to za relativno kratko vreme. To je previše i prebrzo, i mogu da razumem što su postali negostoljubivi prema strancima.

      The Serbs from Vojvodina, flat-lands north of Belgrade, are generally more composed, tolerant and polite. They were part of well structured mettle European cultural and geographic space. The Serbs from Montenegro, aka the Montenegrians, are generally more combative, loud and overly sensitive/proud. They were mostly raised in the rugged terrain and they had to fight and cohabit-ate with the Ottomans, Venetians and Albanians. Life was hard and risky there. Frequently, getting enough food for ones family was a predicament. I personally have a "blood" and ancestry of both. Or, compare the difference between the Siberians and Belorussians. P.S. I would love to have a few vodkas with Daniel and talk….Nice fellow.

      Слушајући Русе који гостују у овој емисији, не могу да потиснем разочарање због површности, и у основи, тупости и слепилу за место где су дошли. Сво време имам утисак да би радије мењали околину према својим потребама и жељама него да нечим допринесу овој земљи и народу. Тај квази-империјални став, неутемељен у стварној моћи земље из које долазе, изразито иде на живце.
      У потпуној супротности је са генерацијом мојих предака који јесу градили ову земљу и народ.

      Данијел је баш онако руско име. Јесте ли ви сви потомци хазарске империје, који се представљате као Руси, или су то само неки од вас? Мени ово пресељење не буди наду и задовољство.
