Reading jokes in a new language also reveals a lot of hidden cultural subtext and references that you might not get from a textbook or an online course. For example, you can gather that hedgehogs are often portrayed as polite and kind characters in Russian tales and cartoons. The other characters here are three mighty Russian bogatyrs or warriors. I suggest to use <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bogatyr\">this famous painting by V. Vastnetsov &#8220;Bogatyrs&#8221;<\/a> to imagine the warriors and any depiction of a hedgehog from Russian animation.<\/p>\n<h4>Greetings and Goodbyes<\/h4>\n<p>In this Russian joke, you will see a lot of &#8220;<strong>\u0417\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u0439<\/strong>&#8221; [ZDRAHST-vooy], which is a polite formal greeting that is just like &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z1HFb2WLm0M\"><strong>\u0417\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u0439\u0442\u0435<\/strong><\/a>&#8221; [ZDRAHST-vooy-tyeh], only the latter one can be used both towards one person or a group of people. &#8220;<strong>\u0417\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u0439<\/strong>&#8221; is also usually reserved for greeting a person you already know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A5liSn_juko\"><strong>\u0414\u043e \u0441\u0432\u0438\u0434\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f!<\/strong><\/a>&#8221; [do svee-DAHN-nyah] is a formal way to say &#8216;goodbye&#8217;.
