خلفية ثقافية
The book 'Вредные советы' by Grigory Oster is a cultural phenomenon. It teaches children what NOT to do by giving them 'bad advice' in verse. Every Russian adult knows this concept. The word 'Совет' (Soviet) means council. During the USSR, 'Land of Soviets' was a literal name, but it became a joke about how everyone gives advice to everyone else. On Russian YouTube and Telegram, 'плохой совет' is a common tag for debunking fake life hacks or bad financial influencers. Grandmothers (Babushkas) are famous for giving advice on health (like wearing a hat). If a young person ignores it and gets sick, the Babushka will say her advice wasn't 'плохой'.
Use with 'зря'
Combine with 'зря' (in vain/shouldn't have) for natural speech: 'Зря я послушал этот плохой совет'.
Gender Agreement
Never say 'плохое совет'. 'Совет' is masculine, no exceptions!
