Line 9:
Ah, [[Mighty Glacier]]. Strong, brutish, big, [[Department of Redundancy Department|strong]], [[Dumb Muscle|not so bright]] [[Genius Bruiser|(unless that is point)]], [[Rule of Three|strong]]... Because [[Mother Russia Makes You Strong]].
And in video games, he is being almost invariably [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You|Russian.]] Other countries are, in some rare cases, substituted, but video game's [[The Big Guy|large fellow]] often has good chance of being from [[Glorious Mother Russia|former Soviet Union]]. May also be replacink the g in -ing works with k, for example; [[Vodka Drunkenski|drinkink]], skiink, [[That Russian Squat Dance|dancink]], and so on.
May have one of five possible names: Ivan, Vladimir, Yuri, Dmitri, or Boris.
Line 21:
If you went back to [[The Seventies|Seventies]] and asked someone what [[Husky Russkie]] was being, they'd assume you were referrink to woman. See also [[Mother Russia Makes You Strong]].
{{examples
== Anime & Manga ==
* Argo Gulskii from ''[[G Gundam]]''. He is [[The Big Guy]] of the [[Five
** Commander Yuri Kerane from [[The 08th MS Team]] is another Gundam example, though not he's not explicitly described as Russian and [[Reasonable Authority Figure|is a pretty competent commander]] [[A Father to His Men|who cares about his men]] despite having all the social charm of [[Beauty and The Beast|Gaston]]. It's still obvious what the writers were getting at, though. Interestingly, Ginias Sakharin could be considered a complete inversion of this trope, because despite also having implied Russian heritage (his surname), [[Bishonen|his]] [[Sissy Villain|design]] [[Ambiguously Gay|and mannerisms]] are anything but husky and brutish. {{spoiler|And for even more irony, Ginias actually causes Yuri's death towards the end of the series.}}
* Ivan Braginski/Russia from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' mixes this with ''many'' dashes of [[Cute and Psycho]], [[Psychopathic Manchild]] and [[Jerkass Woobie]] traits. However, he insists that he is only "big-boned."
* Rodchenko from ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' takes this to a whole new level by being the world record holder in the bench press.
* Subverted in [[Hajime no Ippo]]. Russian boxer Alexander Volg Zangief is a force to be reckoned with inside the ring... but in normal life he is soft-spoken, friendly, [[Shrinking Violet|humble to the point of borderline shyness]], a sort of [[
* Nastasha Radinov from the ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'' anime is a female example.
* Simon Brezhnev from [[Durarara]] is a giant, [[Scary Black Man|black]], Russian sushi chef. But he's a sweet guy, really.

== Professional Wrestling ==
* Many of pro wrestling's [[Evil Foreigner|Evil Russians]] are big bruisers to boot; [[WWE]]'s Vladimir Kozlov is simply the latest iteration of the model.
** In a subversion, only a handful of them were actually Russian. Kozlov is at least close in being Ukrainian. (That is, close in that "[[Viewers
** More classic examples are Nikolai Volkov and AWA's Russian Brute, who both played up the "I must break you" kind of thing.

== Web Originals ==
* From ''[[Open Blue]]'''s v4, [[Four Star Badass|Admiral Flota]] Vladimir Ilyavich Tokarev, '''[[Shout Out|HERO OF]] [[Ciaphas Cain|THE TRIBES]]''', is like this only when fighting hand to hand or pissed off. Otherwise, he's a cunning strategist who would rather blow you up with his ultra-long-ranged rocket launcher than [[Leeroy Jenkins|charge straight at you without thought]] if he thinks it more efficient. Of course, he's just as likely to be firing off said rocket launcher while charging straight at you without thought...
* From ''[[Darwins Soldiers]]'', Piotr Kozlov is a hulking Siberian [[Funny Animal|grizzly]] [[
