10. The myth of unwashed Russia. Perhaps foreigners our village with slanting houses and broken roads seemed unpleasant But the people Russian at least once a week for centuries namawala in the bath clean. You can not say, for example, about the French. It is believed that Louis XIV, the famous sun king, for all the life washed from head to toe twice.
9. The myth of Russian drunkenness. Incidentally, the amount of alcohol consumed per capita, Russia lags behind Italy, France and some US States do Not forget and about the strong Russian body allowing without consequences "take on the breast" immeasurably more alcohol than the average European.
8. The myth of the worst roads in the world. Yes, the road is our problem. But not only ours. As shows a rating of the cost of roads, broken roads inherited all the countries of the former Soviet Union. Of course, not proud of this, but today the state of Russian roads is still better than in many Bliznak countries.
7. The myth of Russian chauvinism. In spite of the periodically emerging movement "Russia for Russians" etc., our country has never tried, for example, to lock the whole nation on reservations, like many supposedly more civilized countries.
6. The myth about the impossibility of restoring order "In Russia it is impossible to restore order is too big" — absolutely allegation those who are not familiar with the history of the era of Stalinist totalitarianism. I'd like to believe that someday we will find a middle ground between the dictates of the 1940s and rampant 1990s. Let the "living space" is large indeed, but residents in fact missing.
5. The myth of the Russian piffle Indeed, the reasons for such findings in Western society there are several. First, the country's leaders have not always demonstrated a high level of self-discipline, and could Shoe on the podium to knock, and the place to go. Second, a significant portion leaving the Russian immigrants is not the most prosperous items.
4. The myth that Russia is an Asian country. Everyone who saw the map of the world, you know that Russia is not Asia and not Europe – Eurasia. This geographic location leaves its mark. We are not Asians, but also Europeans we can't have.
3. The myth that every Russian guy has a hat. In English-speaking countries, this hat is simply called shapka. Yes, respected Russian fur hats, as well as many other peoples who are forced to live in harsh climatic conditions. For example, hat appears in the uniforms of some military units of Canada, and is even part of the winter forms of the German police.
2. The myth that the mind can not understand Russia. Of course, do not understand, if the mind is not Russian. Well, they say, we have to take... Because we have the mysterious Russian soul. Sometimes it seems that we are deliberately trying to look illogical and unpredictable. It is a kind of protection from unnecessary concern from the international community.
1. The myth that in Russia the streets bears roam. Images of the bear as a symbol of the Russian state are to be found on maps of the XVI century. Some researchers even say that the shape our country resemble a bear, turned loin to Europe. So the bears go, but not on the streets of Russia. They proudly March across the world map.

I'm sorry, but how, exactly, does this relate to "treasure"? Can't remember where the link is off-hand, but there's a section titled "Everything Else" This thread would be better suited there, I believe.
