.... Well, I guess it is a bit better... Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to body shame anyone, but I've seen way too many fat old Russian guys wearing speedos in the resorts' restaurant at all hours of the day for their entire stay. Even the staff was "talking amongst themselves" away from the seating area.... Nothing against Russians, or folks with a belly, I just happen to know that the particular group of guys at one of our local resorts were Siberian-Russian....
Edit to add: Admittedly, this has only been a two-time occurrence, at neighboring resorts, but believe me, the image is hard to forget... LOL
Many horror stories about Russians and their lack of sense of modesty. Several times I saw Russian military advisors in very conservative Libya going to the beach and actually changing into their swim suits in public to the horror and shock of the locals. One time a public beach was full of Libyan families, young and old men and women, enjoying the very nice beach when a bus full of Russians came to the parking lot and the Russians walked to the beach and started changing into their bathing suits from their street cloths and going naked in the process in the middle of the full beach. A complete state of panic and anger propagated through the crowd with women and kids running away and the men picking up whatever they can find to arm themselves to attack the naked Russians and teach them a lesson in modesty. Luckily the bus driver and the beach guards intervened and threw whatever they can find to cover the Russians and escorted them away to their bus. It was shocking and funny. The bus driver spent almost an hour apologizing to the angry crowd who were still trying to go after the Russians.
