@vruba the idea that RUSSIA would be like "Canada that's the cold place right" like they don't have siberia

@vruba Canadian here: That's about right.

@vruba That would be EASTERN Canada. If he was from BC he'd have a fistful of daffodils.

@vruba Does he have snow on his boots?

@retrosponge@kind.social 2026-02-11 21:06
@vruba In fairness, that is what us Canadian men look like.

@vruba where has he arrived? Because if he has come to a location where it is above 10° C surely he would be going about in short sleeves and quite possibly shorts.

@vruba a few explanations from RU for the uninitiated: 1. the photo shows Nikita Mikhalkov, an Oscar winner and the son of the author of the Russian national anthem 2. Sherlock Holmes in the Soviet version was awarded the Order of the British Empire by the Queen 3. Jules Verne, Dumas, Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie were very popular in the USSR

@vruba You're right, that "Canadian" outdoor gear is all wrong. He should also be wearing a fur hat with earflaps. #Canadian #winter

@Nick_Stevens_graphics@mastodon.art 2026-02-12 07:35
@vruba Ridiculous. They forgot to give him a canoe, and a bottle pf maple syrup.

@vruba Thanks for the recommendation!

@wortwart@social.vivaldi.net 2026-02-12 09:05
@vruba That mirrors depictions of Russia in US movies where there's always snow.

@vruba Honestly, the Soviet Sherlock Holmes is unironically just great. It has always confused me, how such an inhuman and repressive system as the Soviet one managed to generate such a high quality film (and cartoon) industry and culture.
