Pravda on The Spectator, Anne Applebaum the Brits and the Yanks
Not without a few truths in a lot of areas to say the least.
As for portraying fat Britons in bowler hats, the type of western publication that prints such anti-Russian diatribes might feel the need to, and probably even perpetrate, the myth that bowler hats still exist in London. In Laurel and Hardy films.
However a more truthful and objective take of Britons would be provided by sending a Russian photographer into any rural English town on a Friday night and taking shots of the Armageddon-like scenes unfolding before his unbelieving eyes, with old folk cowering in their homes afraid to venture out, young girls spewing up on the pavement among a cacophony of swearing, private property being vandalised and railway stations being left in a state looking as if all the inhabitants of the local pigsties had run riot
Regarding Americans, it would be easier to find nationals of the country ruled by the Bush regime not far from Russia’s southern border, for example in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, complete with cigarettes hanging out of the corners of their mouths as they lead prisoners around on chains, set dogs on them, urinate in their food, sodomise them, wire up their genitals with electrodes and then claim they were “just having fun”. Nice, no?
