Differences between Russian and English mentality...

Hi, everybody,
I've got such a problem. I'm a Russian girl and I'm a student of the philological department and very interested in English, now I'm writing a paper about the differences between English and Russian mentality and national characters and how these differences are reflected in the language. It's important for me, bacause I'm going to be a teacher of Russian language as foreign. Can you answer some questions (give some associations) for my research?

Well, I can write questions here, if you have free time, please, answer. I need only English people to answer.
Firstly, please, write your name (only name), age, your occupation.
Then write, please, five words you think about when the case is Russia and Russian people, then five words you think about, when the case is England and English people.
Can you write five features of the Russian national character and five features of the English national character (begin with the most important)?
And the last request - give your associations for these words: communication, character, English, Russian, culture, language.
Thank you )
