Growing up during the Red Scare of the 1950's & the 1960's was as challenging as the first two decades of the 21st century with the constant propaganda against the United State's ever changing enemies. One of the images the war machine plays with is the image of a nation's women, and how they are perceived is always used against them, and it could be any characteristic that at any other time would be endearing. Coming up Russian women were always depicted as mannish in men's clothes. Their hair was severely wrestled into tight buns on the back of their heads, or under stern hats in muted colors to match their outfits, and accent their muscular calves.
Russia is no longer a threat to world peace, or to the US sense of dominance so the images of their women are like flowers coming out in the springtime after a long winter of discontentment. - Gregory E. Woods 5.12.13
