Aeroflot's new 77W safety video
Discuss. The first 40 seconds perhaps are totally unnecessary. 
Also in keeping up with patriotism, English subtitles, not spoken English used.

Interesting but not surprising really. Russia is about as sensual a country as there is as far as advertising regardless of whether its airlines or ice cream.
The real gall of this video is that you never, ever see a flight crew walking in SVO with the unwashed masses. They always sneak the crew in from some mid-level netherworld we are not allowed to visit.
The lack of spoken English is really interesting. Russia is all in on Russia these days for sure.

While Vera is very attractive (if she is even real, I hope to run into her on my next SU flight), the guys in the video are not good looking. Can we please have better looking guys in your videos Aeroflot?. Do you need me to fly to Moscow to personally select them?
Sensual is putting it mildly. I am sometimes given a special parting gift when I fly SU in Business. The last one I remember getting was a special box of Japanese green tea, in an black aeroflot box, with a very flirtatious speech from the ladies that they hope that I will fly Aeroflot again in the future.
. I'm a total sucker for such treats.I don't have any SU flights scheduled as my travel to Russia has slowed down to nothing, but I hope that for all the patriotism overload in Russia now , the cabin announcements are still done in English.

I was on SU220 last Saturday and didn't think anything of it.
Cabin announcements were in Russian first, then dreadful/incomprehensible English and finally Mandarin.
PS. There was only one hot flight attendant but she was on the other side - mine was at best 5/10 lol.

. I'm a total sucker for such treats.I got that Japanese tea on my last Business Class flight as well. I thought it was pretty snazzy. Brought it home and gave it to my wife who is a tea junkie. She decided the best thing about it was indeed the packaging. The tea was...meh. I still like shiny things given to me in Business Class though. I'm a fellow sucker!

My brother commented after his 3rd or 4th trip to Russia, "ok, I've held this as long as I can. How do guys who look like that end up with girls who look like that?" I told him I've been trying to answer that question for nearly 25 years myself.

It was beyond flirtatious. A part of my reptilian brain was sure that I was going home with the Aeroflot girl as soon as we landed at SVO. Alas, as soon as we landed she disappeared . Gone .
I don't really swing that way, ( nice to look at yes but no desire ) ...these girls take seducing business class passengers to a whole new level , all while keeping it professional .
What ever it is it worked : I ended up buying more tickets

After living here for 2 years I know the answer. Money is partially right. But, you will hear a lot of different answers.... alcohol.... men with no job.... WWII.... and the list goes on. It's common for an older Russian man to have a "girlfriend". Don't get a Russian woman started on the ladies who work in the Duma.

At this point, WWII is way long gone as a reason, other than the echo effect of granny telling Sveta and Olga to take care of Sergei and Nikolai, b/c if they don't, someone else will.....
