Russian cartoons

Aksakov Sergey Timofeyevitch – well known Russian writer of the 19^th century.

He is the author of a famous tale «Red flower» («Аленький цветочек», the plot of the tale is almost the same you see in Walt Disney «Beauty and the Beast» ). When Sergey was a child he heard this story from one of the country people. So the tale is the excellent example of a folk art.  Being an adult he write it by memory. It was published for the first time in 1858.

Here you can watch favorite Russian cartoon «Аленький цветочек» (1952, Союзмультфильм). You’ll see merchant family in Ancient Russia (before 17^th and 18^th centuries).

Hugs and kisses!

Nowadays many young people in Russia use kisses and hugs to greet a person! They usually do it even if they are not close friends, relatives or a loving couple. Moreover they can hug and kiss you even if you get acquainted just a few hours ago.  

Of course not all the Russians are crazy about that! Some people express themselves discreetly. But don’t doubt! They are glad to see you!

Just don’t be surprised if a new acquaintance kisses you on the cheek or hugs you! Especially our old ladies fond of big hugs! Such a cordial hospitality is one of the national features.

But if it makes you feel awkward don’t be shy to say about that!

If not – let’s hug!
