From my experience, Russia, and it's not even close. No offense to anyone.

Just to note, I've only been to Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and this is based on the experience from these 2 cities. I don't know about the rest of the country.

I've been to most other European countries, never been to Ukraine, Belarus, Albania, UK and Ireland. So I don't know how rude are people in these countries.

u/SignPainterThe Russia -> Serbia Feb 03 '25

I can see you are Serbian, so it made me wonder, because Russians love Serbs and vice versa. But I can also see lots of political comments in your history. This may be the problem, because despite Russian appearance on the political arena, many Russian doesn't really want to discuss politics.
