Stereotypes about Russians

Stereotypes about Russians include actual or imagined characteristics of Russians used by people who view Russians as a single and homogeneous group. These stereotypes in popular culture reflect Russophobia.^[1]

Since the times of the Cold War, the Soviet Union, and later Russia have been the traditional antagonists of the United States, which affects the stereotypes of Russians in American popular culture. In Cold War spy fiction, Russian women are often depicted as beautiful, seductive, and deadly spies.^[1][2]
