> She went to Prague (not exactly Russia, but culturally close enough I guess
FYI those are fighting words in Prague. My people generally hate everything having to do with Russia, after being controlled by the Soviets since 1948 and outright occupied between 1968 to 1989.
That's correct. But even if one to forget about this, it's still true - Czech culture is very much different from Russian. May be it's even more distinct from American, or even British, but still...
I apologize, that was insensitive.
Don't worry, I am overstating it a bit. But even more don't say that in Poland.
I guess, today, one may safely assume that it's quite a...unwelcoming (to say the least) comparison anywhere out of Russia's boundaries.
