What is Russia associated with in different countries of the world?
The most popular search query in the world related to Russia is “Russian blue cat,” and foreigners are also interested in nesting dolls and a hat with earflaps. This was stated by Google key account analyst Aram Asatryan, speaking at the Google Think Performance conference.
“We conducted a study to find out what things are associated with Russia in other countries. The most popular animal in the UK is the Russian Blue cat, which is generally the most popular search in the world related to Russia,” he said. At the same time, in France “Russian hamsters” are associated with Russia, and in Japan - “Russian turtles” (for us these are ordinary turtles), explained a Google analyst.
The French, Spaniards and Japanese most often look for information about Russian women on the Internet, a Google analyst noted. “Unfortunately, no one wants Russian men: only 6% are looking for Russian men, while 94% are looking for Russian women,” he said. “Great Britain is the only country where it is not “Russian women” that are needed, but “Russian brides,” he clarified.
According to Asatryan, the most popular Russian product in France is the matryoshka doll, and in the UK the most popular is the “Russian wedding ring.” “As my colleagues told me, this is a fairly ordinary ring that was once made by Cartier (the famous French jewelry manufacturer - editor's note) and someone else,” the analyst said.
In Spain, people often search for “Russian hat with earflaps” and “Russian belt” on Google. “This is a sports device, it is used by Messi (Lionel, famous football player - TASS note). In no other country have I found any mention that this belt is Russian, although all football teams use it,” explained the Google analyst. The most popular Russian thing in Japan is Russian roulette.
The most popular Russian food in France and Saudi Arabia is black caviar, and in the UK - Russian tea. In Spain they love marshmallows from Russia, and in Japan they love mayonnaise, a Google representative said. The most popular search in Russia about France is “French kiss,” and Russians primarily associate English bulldogs with England. Residents of Russia often look for information about the Spanish Premier League and Japanese scanwords.
