Funny and Touching: A Russian Grandma’s Advice to Obama


Published on Sep 26, 2014 by Russia Insider

This video is wildly popular on the Russian internet.

A Russian babushka (grandma), gives Obama advice, in rhyme!, in the best Russian tradition.

She calls him Obamashka, an affectionate rendering of his name in Russian.

She offers to pray for him, to cook him blinis (pancakes), to take him to church to meet her priest so that they can all pray for America together, and advises against cozying up to Nazis, explaining that this always ends up badly.

She explains that Crimea is Russian, and always fought on Russia’s side.

Finally she urges him to make friends with Volodya (affectionate name for Vladimir), and wishes him well.

We are Russia experts, and we can assure you, there is no force on earth that can withstand the charm and goodness of the Russian babushka.

  1. And Russians are like that. Especially grannies like this. They May have a house and some small comforts, and their bible and the church down the street they go an pray in. Russians seem to have a capacity for forgiveness that I have never understood. I’m an american. Christian I am that is true, but also am of the “K” type of person who sees predators and my reaction is to turn and fight. Look what it took for Vladimir Putin to FINALLY step into the middle east and start fighting back against the Islamic murdering hordes? Russia has one hell of a security problem between the Israelis and the Muslims from the reports I get.Putin actually hasn’t done a whole hell of a lot about it either. If I were a Russian I’d be pissed at him for his dithering both on the illegal alien problem with all the murders and rapes in Russia by these animals, and not blasting the source of the problems off the face of the earth following the mass round ups of illegal aliens and deportation.

    You are looking at an angel in the evening of her years. People like this need to be protected.

    As for America and its President? He needs this:
    Contrast a sweet Russian Babushka with 4 Texas Grandmas! LOL 🙂
