Some films of Russian classics were shot in Hollywood. For example, the Americans made the film Onegin. Many years later, there was a real stir around this film and there were discussions. The reason for this was the behavior of the actor in this film, as well as the Russian winter, which is more reminiscent of autumn. The music, which was written much later than the times of Onegin's life, also became interesting. From this we can conclude that the Russian soul remains a mystery for foreigners, and for Americans in the first place.
Americans have some stereotypes about Russians. But they are far from the worst, as many think. Americans consider Russian women to be the most beautiful women in the world. In the understanding of an American, a Russian woman is a woman with voluminous forms, with makeup, well dressed. Such a woman knows how to work and cooks very tasty. According to American people, the only thing a Russian woman does is that she cooks a lot and is very tasty.
As for Russian men, the Americans consider them rich, the dashing 90s, when America was forced to get acquainted with the "new Russians", affected. Also, Americans consider them strong, physically healthy and strong. But despite this, according to the inhabitants of America, every Russian man is an alcoholic.
Russian food. Americans are unaware of the rather rich selection of Russian dishes. They know only borsch, dumplings, pancakes, jellied meat. There are Russian restaurants in America, but Americans are wary of such food. If any of the Americans managed to taste real Russian pies, they were sure that it was Russian women who cook them best. As for the booze, it is, of course, vodka, according to the Americans, absolutely all Russians drink it, and in large quantities.
Russian rules. Americans are convinced that Russians are disregarding all laws, especially traffic rules. In this, the Americans are most likely right, since there is a huge concentration of reckless drivers in Russia.
Americans believe that wild bears walk everywhere in Russia. If an American came to Moscow and did not find a bear there, he thinks that in any case there are wild animals somewhere outside the city.
Russian smile. Americans believe that Russian people are very sad and withdrawn. Most likely, this opinion was formed due to the fact that the Americans themselves are very smiling. The American smile is very often feigned. They are taught this from childhood, but there are no Russians. Therefore, compared to Americans, Russians do not smile often.
