"Alexander Raevsky, expert on Japan: "For the Japanese, Russia is a country where they wear earflaps, make borsch, everyone loves Putin, and there is also a beautiful figure skater Zagitova."
"On the eve of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Alexander Raevsky, a professor at the Faculty of Psychology at Moscow State University and an employee of Tohoku University, spoke about how the Japanese perceive Russia.
- How do the Japanese perceive Russians - as Europeans or as neighbours?
- Neither one nor the other. They do not perceive us as Europeans, because we do not perceive ourselves that way either. Good neighbour? The Japanese do not think in such categories either.
For them, Russia is a northern, cold country where they wear hats with earflaps, make borsch, everyone loves Putin, and there is also the beautiful figure skater Zagitova, who has an Akita Inu dog. The Japanese think about us in stereotypes, as, in fact, we do about them.
……………
- You said that the Japanese adore Zagitova. Where does this love come from?
- They adore both her and our figure skating. Figure skating, like the Russian ballet, conveys a strong picture of Russia. And, well, Zagitova is very beautiful, oriental. They wonder how you can be so feminine at such a young age. Japanese women, when they are 15-17, look like children. And Alina is unearthly. They really think so, - said Raevsky."
