We've got a diffrent view on the same things - England and English people never assosiate with violent people in Russia, such as many another countries don't assosiate with negative. Russians associate England with the Big Ban and Tower, Thems etc, I guess that 9 of 10 russians mostly assosiate English people with Shakespeare, Robin the Hood, Walter Scott, Robert Burns and The Beatles and Backham... But on the contrary western people usually assosiate Russia with negative.
I think it could be a good theme for a new topic, "what do the russians assosiate with your country?"
