Actually, I have been many times in Russia, if you

count Russian vessels as "land." For five years, I worked with many of your fellow countrymen, supplying their ships (as a ship chandler).
The only stereotypes I could pronounce upon, and wouldn't enlarge to population at large because of selectivity of crew and officers, is that invariably they were well-mannered, honest, and desperate (this was the mid-80s) for American jeans and other goods. In one respect, however, I must make an exception: drinking. The captains and officers drank a LOT of vodka when off duty; two kinds, one that was what we generally think of, the other was more like pure grain alcohol. They poured it like water into large glasses and drank it off.
Anyhow, I wouldn't characterize Eisenstein and Tarkovsky as comic...
