The babooshka stereotype must have been dirty cold war propaganda. There mustn't have been any other way to get the public behind the nuclear option. Girls like these put "da tent" in detente.
Regarding the fat thing: it's a most serious trade deficit we've got with them. They're selling all of it to us.
Don't get me wrong, fat is the magic ingredient for lovely curves. Morbid obesity is killing us, you're right.

P.S. I'm pretty bad with thanking people for their efforts. You're a true champ of this forum, and I'm not just saying that outta regional pride.

I had to look up "babooshka" because I wasn't sure what it meant. But I got a laugh when I saw the definition.
Before the internet came along, I believed in that stereotype pretty much. Actually, I still sort of believe it and sometimes think all these Kazantip babes are really just models hired to hook us all on Russian porn. If they're not models, what else are they good for (
besides sex)? Certainly not for hauling bales of hay..(see my cute lil' babooshka below)
..and thanks for the kind words
