Wrong. The continent of Europe ends at the Ural mountains, which are well inside Russian territory. Everything west of the Urals, including such cities as Moscow and St. Petersburg, are part of Europe. The rest of Russia to the east (Siberia, on to Vladivostok) is part of Asia. However, that doesn’t mean that Russia is part of the E.U., which it isn’t.
Yes, the area of Russia west of the Ural Mountains is called “European Russia” and technically, that is still Europe. But many people think that Europe ends at the Russian border.
“Things that are in Russia, according to non-Russians”
Where have you been, doncha know that anything that refers to non-county-that-isnt-America means America (and, inversely, anything that refers to something that is non-American doesn’t exist)?
No, i lol’d too. i mean silly americans, russain bears dont have unicycles. They just walking around wearing ushankas and holding a bottle of vodka in each paw. amirite?
In Soviet Russia, Vodka is in… um…
In Soviet Russia, Commies are…
In Soviet Russia, Nukes launch… err..
you know what, screw it! In Soviet Russia, Reversal can’t make a joke out of YOU!!
Don’t you find it amusing? 30 years ago if a chart like this was displayed in Russia someone would get shot. If shown in US it would be taken so seriously that they would put into a friggin encyclopedia. Now people are laughing over this “Red is evil” crap.
rrrright. i’m guessing that makes you… russian? well, russians just make gross over-generalizations about EVERYTHING. and i mean GROSS over-generalizations. ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Hi!
My country is not always such. I promise.
We are alive. We understand what is going wrong in our country. And we take the best of world culture, even if we again have to learn a hundred years or two hundred years. We will change the government. We will change the mentality.
In the end, all wins mind.
And the wrong are those who a few years will be to think about bears, and nuclear weapons.
The winner is the understanding.
Unfortunately, I poorly know English, but I’m learning.
Relax, The idiot Americans who believe your country is nothing but Vodka and Unicycle Bears are the ones you want nothing to do with in the first place. Unfortunately a lot of us get our ideas from nothing but Movies, Which, depending on when they were made, Could have horrible ideas about everywhere else in this world.
Oh my god russian people are bored of this attitude. I’m russian, I can say it’s funny to see such result. Oh yeah, bears, mafia, commies especially. Hahaha. I strongly advice you to visit Russia at least on 2 weeks and see real life of our country. You’re so annoying, europeans!
Hello everyone, rather than rely upon your knowledge of the world from America why not talk to those of us who live here ? We dispare of the American way and would wish your once great nation would try to learn about a people before either taking the piss or getting ready to invade. The American world view is flawed and dangerous.
Hello everyone, rather than rely on your knowledge of America from the rest of the world why not talk to those of us who live here ? We too despair of the modern American way and would wish our once great nation’s leaders would try; so learn about our people before either taking the piss or getting ready to defame. The world American view is flawed and disadvantageous.
Unfortunately, for Russians, it’s grim reality.
Vodka is a “grim reality” to you?
No scotch or lager? Yep, grim reality.
What, no “people glowing in the dark” entry? Chernobyl, man!
Chernobyl is in Ukraine not Russia
Lots of Americans think that the Ukraine is part of Russia.
Most think that “europe” is in russia…
Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union (when Chernobyl happened) so it would make sense for people who don’t live there to think that.
And there is a region in Russia called “European Russia”
Nope it’s bullcrap there is no such thing as “European Russia”
no, your bullcrap

It’s not “called” European Russia. It’s European Russia. You won’t find anyone saying “I’m from European Russia”.
Pedantry, I has it.
Ever heard of Kaliningrad Oblast?
Exactly. And there are SOME OF US OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THIS.
Most think that “Europe” is a country…
i think your a country
come again?
i think you are a country
that doesn’t make sense
if you are Europe it makes sense
WIN!
FAIL.
Europe isn’t a country.
And so the thread goes around and around …
Some think that europe is a country and that rusia is its capital
who thinks that?
I met an Englishman who had actually *been* to Kopenhagen and thought it was in the Netherlands.
o_O
It’s Copenhagen, with a “C”.
Not if you’ve been there, it isn’t – though Kobenhavn is closer to the danish spelling.
if you write this way “*obenhavn” I’m OK with the “K”
but if you write it this way : “*openhagen” It’s a “C” it is NEVER spelled this way with a K.
Don’t mix stuff
in germany it’s “Kopenhagen”
Well, in danish, it’s called København. In english it’s Copenhagen, but tbh I’ve never seen Kobenhavn or Kobenhagen before. That’s just silly ;D
Chernobyl is NOT in Ukraine. And NOT in Russia either.
It’s in Belorussia.
Another mistake–it’s Belarus, not Belorussia. We’re in a post-USSR era.
Depends on the language you speak… though if you’re typing English it would have probably been wise to stick to it
It is in Ukraine. You can actually get there from Kiev (capital of Ukraine) by bus.
It’s in Ukraine. Part of the dead zone is in Belarus, though.
penis
wait, that seems like a high percentage of normal people…
you forgot comunist
Commies
Missing hot women, old ladies, strange porn, reversals, breadlines, and oh yeah. No toilet paper.
lots of snow and radioactive zombies squirrels
FRESHWATER SEALS!
This should be called “Things that are in Russia, according to Americans”.
exactly.
exactly.
“Things that are in Russia, according to non-Russians”
Where have you been, doncha know that anything that refers to non-county-that-isnt-America means America (and, inversely, anything that refers to something that is non-American doesn’t exist)?
like DUH
i nvr understood the “bears on unicycles” thing
Its from Family Guy
You guys forgo neo-nazis!
no, there are no nazis in russia, they would all be slaughtered
Apparently, you have no idea what’s happening in Russia today.
There are neo-Nazis everywhere. It’s especially weird to have them in countries that were occupied/attacked during WWII.
Irony, life has it.
In Soviet Russia, graphs show yoooou!
Those jokes got old a long time ago and aren’t funny to me at all.
some demotivationals are excelent with such jokes
EPIC WIN
What about sets of 4 blocks falling from the sky?
thats only at construction sites, cause thats how they build
Am I seriously the only one here who lol’d at the unicycle bear part?!
No, i lol’d too. i mean silly americans, russain bears dont have unicycles. They just walking around wearing ushankas and holding a bottle of vodka in each paw. amirite?
The normal person wit normal life is Zangief, correct?
All those things are true
In Soviet Russia, Vodka is in… um…
In Soviet Russia, Commies are…
In Soviet Russia, Nukes launch… err..
you know what, screw it! In Soviet Russia, Reversal can’t make a joke out of YOU!!
How do Soviets do 69 when everything’s in reverse, anyway?
there’s a reason russian althetes are so highly revered… flexibility and stamina!
Or maybe they just do missionary. I mean, missionary does them.
(in crappy fake Russian accent) VAT?! No KGB? OH!! SSSSHHHHHHH!
Sounds more like a crappy German accent to me.
The Stasi will be visiting you forthwith.
this is all wrong bears arent on unicycles they are drinking vodka and cant get off the streets
Well, for USA it would be only one big pie chart labeled “morons”.
and a big cake labeled fat
Ha seriously
Communist bears on unicycles?
Mmm… and they’re holding radioactive vodka.
Don’t you find it amusing? 30 years ago if a chart like this was displayed in Russia someone would get shot. If shown in US it would be taken so seriously that they would put into a friggin encyclopedia. Now people are laughing over this “Red is evil” crap.
i know, capitalism FTW
I highly doubt that 30 years ago someone would be shot for displaying it in the soviet union.
Believe it man
Nah, they’d get arrested and sent to Siberia.
Nonsense! 30 years ago would make it but a few years to Perestroyka… which means a decade or two in simple jail were more likely.
40 go for Siberia, 50 is a gamble between the wall and the Gulag.
i think the vodka chunk should be much bigger
russia:
50% hot women, 50% ugly men
That wouldn’t be what people “think are in Russia”, that would be simply, “People in Russia.”
waaaaaaaaay waaay more vodka….
Soda Popinski!
In soviet russia, R.S.S.U!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Non-Russians are such бцllshiттy мoтhёгfцckёrs.
rrrright. i’m guessing that makes you… russian? well, russians just make gross over-generalizations about EVERYTHING. and i mean GROSS over-generalizations. ABOUT EVERYTHING.
And, yes, I realize I replied to the wrong person.
there is no ‘normal people’ in Russia
Why yes, we can out-drink anyone.
…AND we know how to not get hangover while doing it.
Haha, nukes xD
Russia sucks, but not as much as this graph! Nice job not making me laugh

heh, no need to worry, geirby – we’re making fun of ourselves and our silly perception of Russia
Shutka is what this is and interwebs is where you are.
It’s the same as the French and frogs and Americans and BIG things… sarcasm and exaggerations, is all
Nice analogy. French : frogs :: Americans : big things.
Don’t forget Colombians : drug cartels :: Japanese : schoolgirls.
Relax, The idiot Americans who believe your country is nothing but Vodka and Unicycle Bears are the ones you want nothing to do with in the first place.

VIVA LA RUSSIA!!!!
Oops, wrong language.
Oh my god russian people are bored of this attitude. I’m russian, I can say it’s funny to see such result. Oh yeah, bears, mafia, commies especially. Hahaha. I strongly advice you to visit Russia at least on 2 weeks and see real life of our country. You’re so annoying, europeans!
No,thats not Europe,thats america.
Notice that I didn’t capitalize the a in america.
