6 - Stereotypes about Russia.

from Slow Russian

В мире существует множество стереотипов о России и русских людях. Давайте рассмотрим некоторые из них. Стереотип 1. Все русские пьют водку. За границей считают, что в России почти все страдают алкоголизмом. Некоторые иностранцы уверены, что водка обязательно есть в каждом доме, и что ее пьют каждый день. Стереотип 2. По улицам ходят медведи. Многие думают, что в России медведи живут прямо в городе, и их спокойно можно встретить на улице. В интернете множество картинок, на которых русский человек обнимается с медведем. Стереотип 3. Русские едят красную икру. Красная икра считается одним из символов России. В любом ресторане для туристов обязательно подают блины с икрой. В сувенирных магазинах продаются магниты с бутербродами с икрой. Традиционная русская кухня ассоциируется с полной тарелкой икры. Стереотип 4. Русские девушки помешаны на своей внешности. Многие иностранцы думают, что все русские женщины следят за собой. Макияж, прическа, каблуки. Русские женщины всегда «при параде». Стереотип 5. У русских дома куча матрешек, кокошников и прочих сувениров. Русская культура ассоциируется с национальным стилем: хохлома, матрешки, сарафаны. У каждого русского человека должен быть набор сувениров. Translation Stereotypes about Russia and Russians There are many stereotypes about Russia and the Russian people in the world. Let's review some of them. 1. All Russians drink vodka. People from abroad think that in Russia almost everyone suffers from alcoholism. Some foreigners are sure that there must be vodka in every home and that people drink it every day. 2. Bears walk down the streets. Many people think that in Russia bears live right in the cities and you can easily meet one on the street. There are lots of pictures on the Internet with some Russian hugging a bear. 3. Russians eat red caviar. The red caviar is considered one of the symbols of Russia. In any restaurant for tourists, they serve pancakes with red caviar. At the souvenir stores, they sell magnets with caviar. The traditional Russian cuisine is associated with a plate full of caviar. 4. Russian girls are obsessed with how they look. Many foreigners think that Russian women take care of how they look. Make-up, hairstyles, heels. Russian women are always all dressed up. 5. Russians have lots of matrioshka dolls, kokoshniks, and other souvenirs. Russian culture is associated with the national style: khokhloma, matrioshka dolls, and sarafans. Every Russian person must have a bunch of souvenirs.
