What I learned about money and power in Finland and the CIS (animation)

Well, I'm back. Moscow time has changed in a year, don't be surprised. Today I'll tell you the real difference between the Finnish mentality and the CIS. About space, power, emotions, money, and little things you might not know. I'll try to be as honest as possible and share my real experience, as I was born and live here. First. Personal space. In Finland, it's truly personal. In Finland, no one will pry with questions, not even bat an eye. There are 10 empty seats on the transport, and no one will sit next to you. You're sick, fine, nobody cares. They respect others' silence here, even if you feel bad inside and don't show it. But in the CIS, a random old lady passing by will ask, "Are you not married?" The taxi driver asks, "How much do you earn?" A new acquaintance on the first meeting asks, "Why haven't you had a child yet?" And no one will care that you're not even 18. To Finns, this sounds like, "Hello, I'm invading your skull. I'm accessing your brain." Two. Power and laws. The Finn obeys, the CIS finds a way around. Finland is a country where the law is sacred. Even if you're alone at an intersection at 3 AM, you stop at a red light because otherwise you're [__]. That's how they are raised. But in the CIS, if no one sees, then it's okay. Everyone looks for ways to bypass, negotiate, slip through. Not caught, not a thief, as I've heard. This isn't because people are inherently bad.
