How do russian people stereotypically look?... what prominent features do they have?

Thin noses?


Although, I don't really like Russian culture/ attitude. Only literature.

quite stern looking, high cheek bones, not so defined chins, big eyes.

ah right

i was just wondering because 5 or 6 people have asked me about my ethnic background... saying that i look russian and wether or not i'm from russian decent

Its just weird because this has happened on quite a few occasions... maybe theres some truth in it?... but not to my knowledge

Everyone asks me if im from holland because i have very blonde hair and blue eyes.

Stereotypes.

My mother is Russian and I supposedly look like the typical Russian girl.

I don't see it.

people think I look Russian because I have blonde hair and a larger-than-average nose.

people who are russian tend 2 hav blonde hair and pale skin

They don't smile when they come up from the underground.... they have very steep escalators in Moscow.

quite stern looking, high cheek bones, not so defined chins, big eyes.

ya they do have big eyes. my teacher is russian and has big bright blue eyes lmfao. they also have pointy noses

quite stern looking, high cheek bones, not so defined chins, big eyes.

I was going to say that...

this girl (http://myspace-909.vo.llnwd.net/00779/90/94/779984909_l.jpg) is bulgarian ...russians look similar i guess because they're both eastern european

Um, stereotypically speaking Eastern Europeans tend to have pale skin and dark hair and sometimes eyes. Their eyes are "big" and their features are soft and their cheekbones are high. I dunno if that's true, but that's the impression I get.

I guess it's just like how people think all Germans or Swedes have blonde hair and blue eyes, or all Jews have huge hook noses, or all Irish have red hair, or whatever else. Not necessarily true, but it's the impression people get.

Depends which part of Russia you're talking about. There's the asian-y looking Russian and the fair, european-looking Russian.
