Historically Russians, especially younger Russian women, are notorious shitlords, most likely due to the scarcity brought on during the horrid state-planned economy of the Soviet era. I remember. I remember how much shit my parents gave me when I came home to visit them after 1 semester of college having gained the freshman 5-10 from a steady diet of booze, ramen and shite dining-hall food. Hilarious thing is 19 year old CowboyDancer was 5'9 (just like 36 year old CowboyDancer) and weighed like 125 lbs soaking wet. I went from rail thin skateboarder to slighly less thin skateboarder (BMI 20 to 21 or something, LOL) and they still noticed.  Now, Western "values" are creeping in to some extent, so who knows. Fitness is still quite valued from what I hear, compared to America or UK, but that's not saying much.  Miso soup is a really tasty low-cal snack. Love that shit.
