how ALL Russian men(not Slavic bc that would apparently be racist
Tbh they probably don’t consider Russians Slavic to begin with. Because Slavic to them means muh winged hussars defending YUUUROOOP from invading hordes. And Russia? Russia is the horde.
I genuinely don’t know what Reddit thinks of Russia tbh. I’m not on Reddit too much these days (unless it’s fight videos as I mentioned previously) but I feel like Russia is the embodiment of Slavs being represented as a people. I’m slavic and I definitely recognize Russia as the most slavic nation (in the sense that old Slavic culture is preserved well and more culturally normative than modern Western culture, also they have
130 million+ slavic people in the nation) Like maybe Latvia or Slovakia could be considered the home of Slavics, but the statistics overwhelmingly show Russia is the home of Slavs. They have the most slavs and people definitely associate the “slav squat” and Hardbass which I absolutely love both lol, with Russia. I don’t doubt you that people are trying to disassociate Russia w Slavs, but as a Slav I gotta say I don’t think it will work as intended
