THE ROAD

How to approach a call to a friend in Russia
-
Please be polite and courteous, especially if you haven’t talked in a while.
-
Try not to directly confront or contradict your friend. Imagine yourself in their place – almost or all of the information they receive is from government sources. It can be difficult to reject or even cast doubt on that point of view too dramatically too quickly.
-
Allow them plenty of time to talk and explain their views. This is a dialogue that can benefit both sides. By exchanging ideas both of you can gain some valuable insights on how the conflict is viewed from different sides of the divide. This can be beneficial to you and your friend!
