Myasnikov, a doctor, spoke about his surprising attitude to refusals in the United States.

On September 23, doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov spoke about the peculiarities of Americans related to refusals on the air of the program "About the most important thing".

"It always surprised me in America when I came to work. There's a "no" there — that's a "no". He says "no", it means "no". No. You can smash your head against the wall, your forehead will be bandaged, help will be provided, but "no" is "no," Myasnikov said.

He added that he had not been able to get used to this approach from the United States. He noted that in Russia, "no" means an invitation to a conversation.
