Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Elena: Friendship is really very important for Russians. There is even a famous proverb that says "where your friends are, there your riches are". Russians rely on friends to help solve their problems. Once a person has recognized another person as a friend, he or she will happily lend and borrow from that person.
