Restraint and politeness are among the main features of the English communication style. The British, in our eyes, are even sometimes overly polite. They often say "Thank you", "Please" and "I'm sorry." They don't speak loudly on the street. They don't hustle in buses to get a seat, they buy tickets showing their seats in lines at bus stops. Residents of England do not shake hands when meeting each other, they do not show their emotions even in tragic situations.

Some believe that the British are cold, insensitive, phlegmatic people. The famous English restraint, the desire to hide emotions, to save face is a consequence of strict upbringing.

There are not many things that can make an Englishman mad. In those cases when a representative of the sentimental Latin race or the spiritual Slavic will sob with tears of admiration or tenderness, the Englishman will say “lovely” (“cute”), and this will be equivalent in terms of the strength of the manifestation of feelings. In the article "Questions that are categorically not worth asking the British" we outlined a number of topics that should be avoided in communication with the inhabitants of Foggy Albion, so as not to run into a hypocritical "cute".

In the understanding of the British, Russians are not very polite and more emotional, but good-natured and very hospitable. In ancient times, a Russian person, leaving the house, left the door open and food ready for the wanderer, and therefore there were legends about the breadth of the Russian soul. Due to their greater emotionality, Russians are characterized by openness, responsiveness and sincerity in communication.
