Attention! On the pages of our planet, we (the authors and editors of the site) always try to maintain a neutral objective point of view, giving only a descriptive part of the places or events in our travel guides. The information below shows a personal point of view, since we see no other way to answer the question – "How do they treat Russians in Vietnam?". We apologize in advance if this point of view offended or hurt the feelings of the people of Vietnam.
Tourists from Russia and other Russian-speaking countries of the former USSR should not expect special treatment from the Vietnamese. Some naively believe that the people of Vietnam will be more friendly and sensitive to them, remembering the warm friendship between the countries and the help of the Soviet Union in difficult times. Unfortunately, all this has long been forgotten by most of the older generation. And completely unfamiliar to the new young generation. You can even meet Vietnamese who do not know what Russia is, and even more so the USSR. Yes, imagine, we have repeatedly met local people who were traditionally interested in where we came from, but could not understand what it is "Rashia", "Russia", "Russia", "Moscow", "Putin".

Moreover, this is manifested not only in the personal relations of Vietnamese to Russian tourists, but also at the general cultural and state level. For example, in the museums of Vietnam, although you can find many exhibits from the Times of the USSR and even Russia (mostly military equipment), but there is practically no information that it was fraternal assistance. And in general, sometimes it seems that the story of the participation of the USSR on the side of Vietnam in the conflict with the United States is deliberately kept silent here. But with all this, in museums you can see a lot of exhibitions about the heroic deeds of US Army soldiers and post-war fraternization and establishing friendly relations with the Americans, who, by the way, almost wiped Vietnam off the face of the Earth.
As a result, the attitude to Russian and Russian-speaking tourists in Vietnam in most cases is neutral and the same as to all other foreign visitors to the country. The Vietnamese even have a term denoting naive tourists who can and should be deceived to get more money out of them, and most often it refers specifically to package Russian tourists.
If you have a different opinion and experience in this regard, we will be glad if you share it in the comments on the forum or at the bottom of this page. Just do not confuse the attitude of the Vietnamese to tourists and Russians who settled in this country for permanent residence. After all, these are completely different things.
