Really? Not too many "bears" in Russia, from what I recall!
Speaking of stereotypes, here's a "golden oldie" from the Web:one of them is gay, although he won't admit it to anyone (and given current attitudes about gays in Russia I don't blame him).
Gay, Or Eurotrash?
(Photos of 9 men spotted on the streets of NYC -- turn on your Gaydar/Eurodar, and guess by their clothing which ones are American Homosexuals, and which are European Heterosexuals!)
P.S. Note that the "gay or euro" quiz is from the 1990s, so it reflects '90s fashion.
