I read this on a forum. One girl and her girlfriend went on a summer vacation to an international student camp in Europe. We talked about language barriers. One Frenchman says they have very strong differences in dialects between different regions, sometimes inhabitants cannot understand each other’s French language. In Russia there is no such thing, everyone from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok speaks the same Russian and understands each other.



The Frenchman digested the information for a few seconds, and then asked the clarification question: "Is it you Putin ordered to say this?"
