1)      What country are you from?

2)      Is it easy for you to communicate with Russians?

3)      What do you find difficult while communicating with Russians?

4)      Can you name in common things between Russian and Arabic mentality?

5)      Did your stereotypes about Russian people turn out to be right and true to life?

6)      Can you mention 3 good 3 bad qualities of Russian character?

7)      How fast have you got used to the life in Russia?

8)      What changes would you like to see in the way of communication style of Russians?

The participants were the representatives of the following Arabic states: Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq and Yemen. The overwhelming majority of the students were Muslims. Moreover, 31% were Christians. In order to demonstrate more clearly the results of questioning the form of tables and diagrams was chosen.

Table 1 Top of the stereotypes about Russia

Table 2Positive qualities about Russia

Table 3 Negative facts about Russia

By obtaining such kind of information it is possible to find the reasons why sometimes the communication with people from other countriesis not smooth and perfect. But it is essential to know these facts, to improve ourselves, to correct mistakes.The Arabians gave answer for the 8th question:” What changes would you like to see in the way of communication style of Russians with the Arabs in future?” And it is a funny thing to notice but everyone said the same fact. “The communication between Russian and Arabic people would be easy in this way, if Russians knew that the Arabic countries are prosperous, civilized. The Arabs also like the peace and friendship and not each person on our land is terrorist. We have our cultural rich background, rich history. And it would be very nice if more people would like to open our culture for themselves and if more people would be willing to communicate with the Arabs and to visit our land, not only UAE and Egypt.”

As all the Arabic students noticed “If the Russians knew better our history, the reality of our lives, it would give them background information that would make it easier to ask questions that make sense.” However, we do not need to be an expert in some culture to be able to ask questions.  We simply need to learn to  respect other cultures and also we have to educate ourselves and keep informed about other cultures so that we understand the issues that people faces and we become involved in their struggles – instead of sitting on the sidelines and watching from a distance.

I consider all information that had been collected during this social questioning unique. Because this is a personal opinion, a clear view of the case, belonging to    people who was born and brought up from childhood in the Arabic cultural surrounding.  These people gave us the answers and explanations why our communication with people from other countries is not always smooth and perfect. But we need to know our drawbacks to correct them and improve our communication skills.  And also we should learn to be sincerely interested in another country’s culture, history, background. As when you are open to know new cultures, people will tell you many interesting facts about their way of living in their country. That’s explains their behavior, traditions, customs.  We realized that we are able to form relationships and alliances with people of different cultures and backgrounds.
