There is prejudice against Armenians, Azerbaijanians, Georgians, Chechens in all central Russia. They are basically Latino immigrants of Russia, considered to be tribal, impulsive and backwards.
Is that also true for younger people?
The prestigious universities of Moscow are like the only places libs congregate in in Russia, but even there there are still enough virulent homophobes that are capable of violence. I've never met an openly LGBT person while studying in one those universities and that's for reason. Shit's scary.
I see. Sucks about the LGBT thing. Like, I've encountered a looot of homophobia and it doesn't really phase me that much any more but I would definitely massively prefer to be able to be openly bi, which I can here in unis.
Thing is, I also hate the lifestyle in places like the UK etc. I visited my friend who studies there and stayed in her apartment for some time, it was lots of fun for me because I was just spending a few days but I could tell I'd be super grossed out if I had to live there. It's just... Their way of life is very stressful, depressing and kinda gross to me, I don't really understand it and I can tell I wouldn't feel well there. I've also been in France and Germany, France isn't as bad I guess but I still wouldn't like it. Of the countries I have been in and know people from the only ones I thought were kinda cool were Italy and maybe Ireland, and even then Ireland had some of the features I dislike about England. Kinda sucks that most countries suck... But I guess I am not at serious risk of being assaulted for my sexuality there, which is important.
I really like Russian science books tho... In fact I am reading one now.

I kinda wanna buy Landau Lifshitz in Russian so that I can learn both. I like learning languages by means of trying to go through a book. Also maybe it will be cheaper than the ridiculously expensive English versions.
By the way, do you know where I might order Lanlifshitz in Russian if I ever decided to? Is there like some kind of Russian amazon that might deliver to Greece?
Also I can never figure out when o is pronounced o or a lol
There is a russian site called Ozon that sell those books and it says they deliver outside of Russia. Also my SO has strong opinions on which volumes are good and which are not so good.
Also I can never figure out when o is pronounced o or a lol
It's always pronounced as o when it's stressed but outside of that it seems like there are no rules. It's like English spelling, you just have to remember it. So just pronounce it as o and people will understand you. You will learn eventually after enough exposure.

No like 😡

Which does she think are good and which aren't? I've only read some of the StatMech book, the entire Classical mechanics book and some of the Classical Fields book and I liked all 3. Idk about the rest.
Well I liked the classical mechanics one although I do agree it is not as good as the other two I looked at. Also yeah I can imagine the QM-QFT ones maybe are a little bit too old to be very good.
No but I was reading the StatMech one a few days ago. Eventually I wanna buy the whole series if I somehow find the money. It is Linear Algebra and Geometry by Alexei Kostrikin and Yuri Manin. Everything by Yuri Manin is really cool.

The Greek analogue to that is Albanians.
Is it Landau-Lifshitz?

Good luck with that! If you ever have questions on education in Moscow or Russian language, send me a message.
Sure thing!

Also HOLY SHIT IT'S LIKE ONLY 7 EUROS
Hope import fees don't drive the price through the ceiling, but it's not like I wouldn't have to pay those for the English books.

Good: Field theory (2) Statistical physics (5)
Supposedly good: Hydrodynamics
Not so good: Quantum mechanics Classical mechanics Quantum field theory
Even not so good ones solve problems on basic level that you'd have to look for old papers.
