Home Russian Stereotypes

 

So if you close your eyes and say Russia, what is the next word that pops in your mind ?
Cold winters, mafia, beet salad, dancing bear, vodka and sometimes Dostoevsky. Russian stereotypes are not too flattering. Stereotypes never are.

 

So the most common stereotypical description of Russia would be this: Russia is the coldest darkest country in the world far far away.  There are a lot a bears that can dance or play hockey; they usually walk on streets at night. Russian men have a severe love for any liquid containing alcohol.  They wear big furry hats with ear flaps not tied up. When they are sober they spend their time making nukes or joining organized crime groups.  Russian women are beautiful and educated.  Marrying one is like driving Lamborghini – if you can afford one , everybody is going to envy you and at the end was it really necessary ? 

 

 

 

 


Stereotypes in general meant to boil down a complexity to crude bare bones. Yet they are fun if not taken too seriously. Please share with us your Favorite Russian Stereotype. What comes to your mind when you think of Russia or Russian men and women?

    I think the biggest Russian stereotype out there is Russians being complete alcoholics. If you look at Russian men they are always drunk. Is Russia has the biggest vodka consumption per person ?

    Russia holds the record for the average consumption of spirits by a man in a year which is 6.3 litres. But i am russian myself and have lived in england for a long time. I am the stereotype apart from the vodka and drunk part. I have a big build, i wear the famous hat, i have a large black coat

    Friendly, kind and full of fun in their own land; suspicious when traveling abroad.
    I stopped talking to Russians whom I meet in my travels abroad - they are unfriendly and suspicious.
