    There is quite a lot of bears walking in American towns as we speak. As for where I am originally from, no there is no bears there. Poctob Ha Donu

    What is about freezing even in summer? I don't want to live in Russia unless it's, say, 70 degrees Fahrenheit! Brrrr...

    So you gathered all the bears over the city and put them into cages? Pure bears...

    I heard it's common to Russians to use vodka for warming.

    No, of course not. But I thought they could just wander around cities because Russia is sort of underdevelopment country and the level of civilization is pretty low.

    Котярочка, ты не поняла, что это они выделывались для поддержания разговора? Тут много шутников собралось.

    They have every right to do so There are a lot of immigrants in the US and they can say whatever they want. For example, that they're native speakers of English.

    I heard lots of bears walk in the streets in Russian cities. Is that true?
    It depends what you mean by 'bears'. If you mean 'animals' you are wrong. If you mean people you are right
    I know it was just a joke.

    That was the "official invitation" to ask questions, though!

    Some old American text-books for kids said that you could really meet a bear on Russian streets. That's funny. Every Canadian knows it's just a joke. I didn't hear anyone say anything like that while in Canada.

    This is impossible. C'mon it's a common fact. EVERYBODY knows it. I saw it on TV many times.

    Even if a Russian thinks that s/he doesn't drink vodka it's not quite correct because vodka manufactured within the system (food is distiled into spirits and then it goes into haemal system). It's a special Russian feature.

    So they are like genetically predisposed to be dizzy all the time? Man, that's convenient. It surely explains it.

    lol, stop kidding us all! I like jokes but if you keep joking like that people may think it's true and then they'll start telling all their friends that Russia's a big factory of vodka. That sounds pretty crappy, doesn't it?
