Stereotypes of Russians?

[MalibuChloe]

A friend is writing something and asked me to think of some stereotypes of Russians. I can't think of any except that they don't smile.

Are there any others?

1. the word 'vodka' comes to mind

I don't know why.

2. Horrible jokes

Not horrible as in badly delivered or unfunny, but jokes that are funny to them but not others, like old USSR jokes about how bad it was.

3. Like "Slobo and Big Tolly walking down street."

Jokes that start like that.

4. The men are mobsters

and the women are, er... "easy."

5. since I am Russian I think I can do this

brutal
thuggish

anti-semitic
violent
humorless

6. The whole "pinko commie" thing...

And not a stereotype, but I always expect my socio-economics professor (who is Russian) to say something like "in Soviet Russia, equilibrium Nash's you." (Well, not so much expect as wish he would.)

7. Adamant defenders of the Lada
