    As for me - only in Zoo. Oh, I remember, when I was a kid, I went to sanatorium with my mom and they also had a bear there who was living in a cage. I even fed him bread.

    How common is it for people to get killed by bears in Russia?
    Never heard of such cases, but there must be a statistic somewhere I guess.
    Please, correct my mistakes, except for the cases I misspell something on purpose!

    Not very common. In most cases, bears are not aggressive, and if one meets a human in the woods, it will most likely just walk (or even run) away. A wounded bear or a very hungry one, however, may become angry and attack, but that's not very common. A bear that has been awakened from its hibernation is nearly always aggressive, but again, the majority of Russian bears sleep happily until the spring . Hunters who awake bears in the winter to kill them for sport or for their hides do get mauled sometimes, but well, they know the risk, or at least they should.

    And one should always steer clear of female bears with young cubs. The mother bear may attack on a slightest provocation, if she believes that you pose threat to her babies .

    Помню, что расстался с восприятием медведя как доброго плюшевого мишки после просмотра "Злой дух Ямбуя". Сильное кино.

    This film seems pretty cool! I think I'll watch it. But there are probably no subtitles

    When there is an opportunity to choose a mascot, Russians do not hesitate!!!

    I always thought of these things as of nothing more than an effort to live up to stereotypes foreigners have. No harm in it, after all.

    I would definitely recommend against using this one as an olympic mascot...
