  1. It always amuses me to hear that it is difficult to distinguish between Eastern Europeans and Russians. Look at the photo, you can tell at first sight who is Russian and who is Hungarian. That’s one of the reasons why Hollywood films about Russia and the USSR are so shitty, they’re usually filmed in Romania or Bulgaria or Hungary somewhere, with actors from anywhere but Russia, and with completely fake Russian accent when pronouncing English text.
