"When Russians are hungry, they kill worms": 10 sayings through the eyes of foreigners
Each nation has many proverbs, sayings and unusual idioms that foreigners will be very difficult to understand. Even if we take as an example the Russian expressions known to all of us from childhood and represent them literally (after all, this is exactly how residents of other countries perceive them), then we get some kind of absurdity. So we will not blame the Canadian artist Nathan James for hearing the Russian phrase "every person has a twist", he imagined a real raisin.
In general, Russian users found many inaccuracies in his illustrated interpretations of our sayings. For example, in the picture for the expression "when the cancer whistles on the mountain" a lobster is drawn, and for the phrase "shoe a flea" the Canadian depicted an insect in boots.
However, we will not be strict about the illustrator’s attempt to understand complex Russian idioms, but simply enjoy the fun drawings.
