You are 19% Russian!
Who are you kidding? Just because you took a summer language course in Petersburg doesn’t make you a Russian.
Care to try?

I’m a whopping 13%.
THAT I could believe
Same for me. I think the vodka question is what cost me the most.
That was an unfair question: they didn’t even have my answer. Which is how you’re supposed to drink it.
Chilled in the freezer an hour ahead, no ice added, in small shot glasses but no “chasers” (that’s a sure recipe for a hangover the day after); instead you have to immediately bite into a hot or cold appetizer (закуска): marinated herring, cucumber pickles, red caviar on toast with butter or mushrooms sauteed in sour cream, &&&.
What was your answer?
I don’t remember now, but after reading your answer I’m pretty sure mine was ne-kulturny.
Ts-ts-ts. Try the correct method some day – you’ll feel the difference.
[Культуру - в массы!]
I got 26%; same description as yours, and it is another indication of how similar we are.
I wonder what did you say to the
Winnie-the-Poohtank/plane/car questionI picked feet because that is how the cartoon pictured him. However, the original Edward Bear owned by Christopher Robin did have feet.
That’s what I answered, too! We do have some things in common. Auwww.
Wow!
(Winnie was not missing anything, right? I didn’t bother to look it up.)
I got:
You are 16% Russian!
You’re so un-Russian, you must be an American. You probably rent Cold War movies and enjoy them with no sense of irony.
Дожили.
I didn’t either – but I think it was his feet…Vinny, honey-pot, tell us!
Yep, you are unmasked. Наймит тлетворного Запада.
I think it was legs, actually. But the answer “What’s the difference?” is cute as well. I still have trouble with arms and hands too.
Arms and hands is not too difficult to remember, it’s the part between shoulder and elbow that always gives me trouble to describe in English. Why don’t they have one simple unscientific word for it, like Russian предплечье?
The difference between legs and feet is that the leg usually refers to the body part between knee and ankle, the foot is further away from the torso from the ankle, and the thigh is from groin to the knee.
13% here, which is only surprising to me in that I scored THAT high.
You probably knew the capital of Russia. Your erudition does not fit into Russian stereotypes about “ignorant Americans”!
I am 21%… that was so funny :)
Another impostor!
So far I scored the highest. I wonder if it was the cold vodka shots answer.
I wonder, too
[...] I question this conclusion; at the very least, I should have scored lower than an actual Russian. [...]
