Massive Guns

We’ve all seen it happen: a drunken man at a bar pestering a woman who is clearly not interested. But in Russia, things play out a little differently thanks to the country’s many strong and capable women. Rather than backing down, these women know how to defend themselves against unwanted advances, and many men have learned the hard way not to underestimate them.

So, instead of leaving with a bruised ego, these overzealous suitors might find themselves nursing a few bruises and a newfound respect for the women of Russia. It’s just one example of the unique cultural norms that you’ll encounter in this fascinating country.
