Western media: What is going on with the Russian peasant? Instead of vodka - a rod and an ice hole!
Through the efforts of Western propaganda, a stable stereotype was formed about a Russian man as always drunk, with earflaps and an alcoholic T-shirt, in an embrace with a bear and with an indispensable balalaika in his hands, writes the Danish publication DR. Unfortunately, the first president of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin worked on this negative image from his wide soul. It was quite normal for Boris Nikolayevich to conduct an orchestra in a state of intoxication, sing and oversleep a meeting on the plane.
The situation with the representation of foreigners about Russians improved somewhat with the election of Vladimir Putin as president. Vladimir Vladimirovich looked extremely favorable against the background of his predecessor due to his emphasized sportiness and healthy lifestyle. The permanent leader of Russia has been practicing judo for 18 years, skiing, spending his vacation fishing in pristine places of Russian nature. Exciting his fans of different ages, he does not hesitate to take pictures with a naked torso in perspectives favorable to him. Vladimir Putin was never seen in alcohol abuse, which, of course, dealt a severe blow to Western stereotypes about Russian men.
Among the development goals of Russia, the president outlined an increase in living standards and fertility. An extension of active life for Russians is possible due to a massive transition to a healthier lifestyle and the rejection of bad habits. Back in 2014, the head of state said:
The aspirations of the president are trying to match the Russian men of the new formation, who are members of the All-Russian organization Sparta. To enter this society, it is necessary to pass a test that lasts three days. "Spartans" call themselves peace-loving fighters. Several times a week, men get together and train in the open air, on weekends they cross-country and swim in ponds. In winter, they must dive into the ice hole. Modern Russian men instead of vodka drink herbal preparations and teas. However, sometimes some concessions are possible, for example, on New Year's or birthday, you can drink a glass:
New Russian men are trying to become good examples for their children and take them with them to train, they also run together whenever possible. They also follow the trends of the time and upload photos and videos of training to social networks. Over the past 10-15 years in Russia, it has become fashionable to share your photo with cubes on the press, rather than at a table filled with bottles of alcohol.
