He's an idiot for bragging on interviews. He's Russian but doesn't realize that this is not Russia and he can't go around threatening people.

- yan 16y agoHe emigrated when he was a child and was raised in the US. I'm sure he's more familiar with the US legal system than whatever approximates one in Russia.
- jscore 16y agoObviously you've never been to Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn (where he lives). They call this part of Brooklyn, 'little Odessa' for a reason.
- Evgeny 16y agoApparently one can even live there for years and not know any English at all. "Why would I learn it? I don't go to USA". Also there's a joke about two Russians in Brooklyn being asked direction to some place by a passer by (an American). They just shugged and the passer by went on. So one Russian tells another: "See, sure he can talk English, but what good did it do for him?".
- yan 16y agoHa ha. I grew up and live in Sheepshead Bay. I'm serious.
- vaksel 16y agoI used to live in that area, and I haven't heard a single person call it little Odessa. Granted we moved from the area when I turned 16, and we didn't live on Brighton Beach...but that just doesn't sound true.
- Evgeny 16y agoActually I just googled it out of interest and the top links for "Little Odessa" ("Маленькая Одесса") point to the movie with that name (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110365/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110365/). Maybe that's how the nickname became widespread?
