What do Westerners think about Russia and Russians

0
It’s good at home, and even better abroad, many Russians think. Exhausted by the harsh climate and difficult socialeconomic realities, many of our compatriots seek to move abroad. Warm sea surf under the canopy of palm trees attracts a layman tired of Russian reality.



However, after the move, if one took place, it turns out that the foreign country is slightly different to the touch than it seemed. The most important question is what to live in a foreign country, how to pay for Dolce Vita? Not everyone had the opportunity in the distant snowy homeland to put their hands on the budget or get a profitable contract, simply being born in the right family or going to the same sports section as a child in childhood.



Having been thrown into a difficult fate at the University of Milan in 2011, the Russians Daria Pereverzeva and Larisa Stepantsova deeply immersed themselves in Italian culture and decided to apply their accumulated life experience in Italy to create their own Internet project. Girls prudently decided not to copy the blog format about the life of Russians in Europe.



The project “Emotional Italians”, launched with their participation, was successful. Viewers of Internet channels liked the emotions with which their Italian girls colleagues try traditional Russian New Year dishes. It is noteworthy that the main subscribers of this project are Russians, who liked the benevolent reaction of Italians to Russian cuisine.



The success prompted the girls to start their own projects under the brand name “Kuzno” (as the Russian word “tasty” sounds in Italian). Despite the apparent simplicity of the format, creating content for the project is a complex process in which a whole international team is involved.

There are several couples who try meals in turn. Italians are emotional people, they cannot be stopped, so the source material is very long. Sometimes 5-5,5 hours only food samples. Of course, we try to put it all at least at 2-2,5 hours, but it already depends on the emotionality of the characters

- explains Daria Pereverzeva.

“Kuzno” allows Italians to get acquainted with Russian culture and enables Russians to learn how Italians see us from the outside.

I would like to wish the girls further success in their good undertaking.
