A Tripolation  I have a Russian physics professor, complete with long hair, unkempt beard, a thick, heavy accent, and a general disdain for English Units. My dream has come true.

There can be some cultural differences when it comes to ex-Soviet scientists and western scientist.

They tend to like to give hard seminar talks for example. Their supervision of PhD students can be less "hands-on" than that typical in the UK. (or that maybe just the Novikov school from Moscow)

Anyway, I get on with ex-Soviets ok and you should also.

I get along with him just fine. He gets flustered easily when he feels that theorems and such are misnamed. :D It's hilarious.
