Misconseption about Russians and Vodka

Maybe a lot of people heard that Russians are addicted to Vodka that Russians drink Vodka like tea or coffee everyday. And if you visit any Russian city especially not Moscow you will see a lot of drunken people on the streets.

It's a common stereotype that the foreigners have about the Russians. As you may know religions were forbidden in USSR except Orthodox church (even they have some troubles and were not popular). But Russians people since ancient time have had strong connection with Indian yoga. Unfortunately yoga was forbidden in USSR by Communist Party, but it was so popular that people decided to disguise theirs practicing of yoga by the way they are drunk, because Vodka was not forbidden. So here a few pictures, where you can easily recognize well-know yoga exercise on Russians streets.














Right now any religion is allowed in Russia because we respect all onions and cultures. But Indian yoga was evolved into a new style during USSR - Russian yoga, and a lot of people still practice it therefore you can see a plenty of "drunk" people on the Russians streets.But in reality all these people on pictures try to reach harmony and peace through the meditation.
