Foreigners called the main asset of Russia
Now in Russia there are tens of thousands of football fans from around the world who have gathered for the matches of the Football Championship. While skeptics continue to criticize the Russian authorities for holding the World Cup, repeating hackneyed phrases about the huge money spent on a sporting event, an increasing number of people are obviously seeing the main positive consequence of the mundial - debunking stereotypes about “bad Russia”.
On the streets of the cities where the 2018 World Cup takes place is a real holiday. Foreign guests are most welcome. The perception of Russia by foreigners is also changing before our eyes. Arriving at home, the fans will tell friends and relatives about how they were met in our country, what they saw. It will become much more difficult for the engaged media to spread the most ridiculous lie about Russia and the Russians.
In the West, they like to represent Russia as a “police state”. But now foreigners who have visited Russia know for sure that the Russian police are quite courteous and friendly. Even the fans who have seriously gone over alcohol, the police are supportive, try not to allow any excesses.
The myth of high prices and a low standard of living of Russians also fluttered. In Rostov-on-Don, foreigners literally swept away goods from the shelves of local supermarkets. This is the question of how much “cheaper” life is in the West. Marcus from Switzerland is delighted with the quality of Russian products. He was struck by a market where you can buy anything, and most importantly - the freshest vegetables, fruits, real delicacies from local culinary specialists. In Europe, this is already very difficult to find, and if you can, then for a lot of money.
Delighted with southern hospitality, the Brazilians and Swiss, who attended the match in Rostov-on-Don. They scatter in compliments to friendly Russian people, beautiful girls, admire architecture. Russian cities are unusual for foreigners, many visitors note the presence of numerous monuments, beautiful buildings, cozy parks. For a positive communication with local people, even the language barrier does not become an obstacle.
But not cheap and tasty products and not architecture were most struck by foreigners who visited Russia. People - this is the main wealth of our country, which foreign fans could meet. The British, who have been in Moscow, say they will never again believe the stories of the British media about Russia.

Sined from British Cardiff admires the kindness and friendliness of the Russian people:
Our media write that everything is bad in Russia, very gloomy people, political system - dictatorship. But I'm just amazed. The Russians are very welcoming and sincere, very happy to see us. Everything that we saw is very different from life in Britain.
The Swiss Emil echoes him:
Very kind, attentive and generous people live here. If I had the opportunity to go to Russia again, I would definitely take advantage of it. This is just an amazing country, and the people who inhabit it are magnificent.
