The stereotypical view of Russia is wrong. I lived there for a good few years.
If you believed everything the press read you'd think Russians couldn't walk out their front doors for some reason or another.
It was interesting actually how in the early 90's Russia was poortrayed as some sort of Wild East with a sense of the romantic about it (a la the wild west) a myth that I think has been perpetuated and turned into something darker.
