And concerning "rude russians", well in our country we use term "schololo" for them - couse mostly it's students from school and we, adequate russians, hate them even more than you. ) For obvious reason.
Still, i'm really glad that you different government from people.

Well, we tend to talk about our land as of Woman, Mother, who feed us and treat us as it's children. It was started even before our country accepted the Christianity.
And that was thing, actually. "Motherland calls!" shout bring more people to fight against Nazi in World War 2, than "For Stalin" or something like that.

My mother use to open up rooms for exchange students. I do recall the rich russian kids being complete bastards (japanese, saudi arabians, not so much). So that's an actual thing?
Actually even at Uni there were russians like that... suffice to say they were very argumentative but weren't very smart. One me and my friend referred to as "Cancer" complained to the Tutor (a goddamn king's college film theory phd professor) that his Lecture's weren't interesting enough to learn anything.
This... is said from the class representative of our class *facepalm. Suffice to say... me and my friend vehemently disagreed with that attitude, as we knew that our teacher isn't there to do our studying for us.

Well, idiots happens to be in every nation. ) There enough smart russian kids, who just dont rich enough or don't have right connections to study in other countrys. So yap...
About "motherland"... considering, that we think of family as alliance between woman and man (and no man-man, or woman-woman family considered normal), most of us quite respectful of theirs mothers and we prefer to be tight contact with our fathers and mothers. And if a successful man lives with he's mother - its not considered as bad thing.

I am now unhyped at thunderdome. You ruined by childhood. :'(
Also I might as well cross borders and just say it frankly, like any brit would.
1. Italians lag because of their poor internet. (only basing this off the fighting game community)
2. British want to pick a fight when you disagree with them and in the tone they say it, it seems like they want a fist fight with a dude in the internet. also ya mum jokes
3. americans act like belligerent children. get cocky when they win, even in matches where they got carried by a vet. and no loss is ever directly their own fault.
4. koreans are super competitive but hold a rudimentary understanding of how to be and hence charge in thinking they can be rambo.
5. russians are pushy and are noob know it alls that know nothing apparently.
so yes. we all got our own lil stereotypes that exemplify our respective nations poorly. take it with a grain of salt. just don't get too salty.
I'm an equal opportunity noob hater.
