Japanese after a trip to Russia: I like Russian men
Japan competed and repeatedly fought with our country throughout the first half of the XNUMXth century. Until now, the Land of the Rising Sun has poorly concealed territorial claims against Russia related to the dispute over the South Kuril Islands. However, economic relations between countries are growing, Japanese companies are investing more and more funds in the Russian economy, and open representative offices in our country. Naturally, the attitude of ordinary Japanese towards Russia and the Russian people is gradually changing.
Part of the Japanese huge northern country has always been of great interest. Russian literature was very popular in Japan, under the unequivocal influence of Russia in Japan, one of the most powerful revolutionary communist movements in Asia was formed. But most of the ordinary inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun were more hostile to Russia - anti-Russian propaganda affected. Now the growing ties between the countries are gradually changing the position of the Japanese.
The most traditional and widespread stereotypes are very cold in Russia and Russians are very high. At least, for the Japanese, who are not tall, our compatriots seem very tall people. Of course, like the inhabitants of many other Asian countries, the Japanese are crazy about Russian girls who are considered very beautiful. However, Russian men are considered among the fair sex of Japan to be very beautiful and representative.
Rather, negative stereotypes include Japanese perceptions of Russians as bad workers. Compared to workaholics - the Japanese, the Russians really do not work much - on weekends and holidays, they never neglect vacation, sick leave or, moreover, a decree. However, the Japanese, who visited Russia and got some idea of life in our country, change their point of view, begin to appreciate a work organization in which there is a place for relaxation, and time for family or self-development.
But the main thing that the Japanese appreciate in Russians is the famous “Russian soul”. At first glance, the Russians seem gloomy and rude to the Japanese, but then the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun understand that the Russian people are much less pretense, they are sincere in their emotions and actions. A doctor, Hajime Esaki, who has been working in Moscow for a long time, says:
The Japanese, who have visited both Russia and Europe, note that the Russians are much more friendly towards them. In European countries, an Asian attitude is biased, they do not trust him, they do not consider him to be equal. Russia is a completely different country, where it is very easy to establish contact with local residents. Some of the Japanese see this as a consequence of the multinationality of our country, someone connects such loyalty to foreigners with the peculiarities of the same mysterious “Russian soul”. At one time, the entire Internet was circumvented by the words of a Japanese student girl during a survey about Russian men:

The Russians are direct, they are always ready to say in person everything they think, and because of this they are often considered rude. But it is precisely these honesty and directness that attract me especially.

I like Russian men. They are non-greedy, read a lot, loves the holiday. Cool character. The German is taller, the American body is thicker, richer, but the Russian soul is cooler.
