This was already explained: such is the image in western popular culture. Isn't?
But I admit that my post has bad construction: it looks if this term was my own, and it isn't. I intended to refer to the western stereotype, yet it looks like I consider Russians as savages. Anyway: I was always pissed off by the silly stereotypes in which inhabitants of the East are shown in games, films, novels and so Juhani reminded mi such stereotype greatly. Paniatna?
