Comments on: Russian stereotypes on American television? http://system13.org/2007/11/01/russian-stereotypes-on-american-television/ Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:16:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Josh http://system13.org/2007/11/01/russian-stereotypes-on-american-television/#comment-39954 Josh Tue, 01 Apr 2008 01:23:52 +0000 http://system13.org/2007/11/01/russian-stereotypes-on-american-television/#comment-39954 Сабаку но Роми: Thanks for your comment; however, I'm afraid my Russian isn't nearly good enough (my studies in it have faltered as of late, as I've focused more on French) to understand what it is you're expressing. I gave Google Translate a whirl, but alas, it mangled your message more than clarified it for me. :) Could you try expressing it again in English? Or perhaps there's a Russian who could translate it into English, if Сабаку isn't able?

Сначала меня эти стереотипы обижали очень сильно,особенно я был в полном недоумении от надписей типа "ЪФЩЦ" и подобных тому.Господи,неужели так сложно взять англо-русский словарь и посмотреть,как будет выглядеть слово "Огнеопасно","Осторожно" или "Вход"?!Теперь меня эта "клюква" только веселит.

"bad" Slavic people. Erin: Yeah, that was my guess, too. Funny how it doesn't seem to be changing much. However, considering how Russo-American relations have been souring lately, I guess we shouldn't hold our breaths. :) davorin: I don’t know his name (it’s oddly missing from the IMDB page on the Heroes episode I was talking about), but the guy who played Ivan has been in a ton of television shows, usually playing… “bad” Slavic people.

My guess is that this image ingrained itself into our minds and has bled into modern media. Just a thought.
