  ==Russians== I removed the following from the article: :Russians as well as Ukrainians or any other Eastern Europeans are usually portrayed as wearing heavy fur coats, with great beards. In popular culture, Russia and East European countries (even those with mild climate like Bulgaria) almost always appear as snowy regions where winter lasts for more than 6 months. Russians in American media are generally also depicted to be fond of vodka. They are usually portrayed as megalomaniac communists or Russian Mafia members. This may be a tribute to the Cold War times when Soviet characters often played the role of major villains. As written, this violates WP:V. Per policy, reliable sources need to be cited stating that the media portrays these stereotypes. Taking examples and saying a stereotype has been portrayed also violates WP:OR (synthesis). -
