Domestic violence against women is extremely high in Russia as compared to other countries. Women in Russia are expected to be silent, docile and demure all the time. Russia has a horrible gender equality ranking of 81 out of 156 countries. There are very few women in Russian parliament (16%). I have heard that how controlling and rude are Russian men towards their women, I don't know how much it is true. Anyways, I think the answer to this question is yes Russian men are ofte more violent than men from other countries, and largely because of the widespread acceptance of drunkenness, disrespect of women and because such acts usually go unpunished. Often they're not even considered illegal.

I think it is the acceptance of it that makes it a problem there. Same with the other places where it is a problem. The cultures and laws reflect a general attitude of the people towards it, but I don't think it's the people themselves and by themselves. In the nature vs. nurture argument, I'd side with nurture here. The behavior is nurtured and thus becomes prevalent. Just like the majority of criminals here in the United States... if I sort through their music collection, it's all music about robbing, stealing, killing, slinging drugs, treating women like shit... and so on... what do you expect right? If it's not nurtured themselves by prescribing to that culture, you'll usually find abusive and neglectful households they grew up in where it was nurtured.
I think general sub-cultures (if not the general culture) and the environment shape these things more than them in a biological disposition to be that way. I feel this way even with our 13% of the population that does 90% of the crimes all by themselves. I won't say what that group is because we all know who they are... even if we won't admit it out loud.
People are known to abuse any power given when they are not restricted or policed. I would not assume Russian men are more physically violent than men from all countries, but they certainly are more violent than men from countries where women are protected. Domestic violence is legal in Russia as long as he does not kill his wife. Even if she almost dies it's pretty much like a misdemeanor crime in the U. S. vs the felony it should be treated as.
I’ve heard a lot of Russian women say they don’t go for Russian men because of this. I think it’s just because of the culture and how there’s just little to no respect for the women there which is sad. I’ve even heard some Russian men online openly say the mostly hateful/degrading shit against their own women

I can’t say for sure, but something about Russians seems cold as fuck, haha. I guess I’d say I’ve seen some street fight videos that took place in Russia. In America, a really violent fight will end with someone getting stomped out, usually. Some of these Russian fights, the guy was already incapacitated/out cold, and the other guy is wandering around looking bricks or wood planks or whatever blunt objects they can continue bashing the guy’s skull in with, lmao

That is the complaint I have heard from the Russian and Ukrainian women I have dated. They are Neanderthals, big, aggressive, demanding, and alcoholics, according to the women who left and came to the US.
I think Vladimir Putin could bomb America like what he's doing to Ukraine, sorry, I don't trust him at all.
Purely my straw pole here , and there are many Russians , I don't see the men being more violent , and most of the women are extremely strong willed so I would not like their chances , I will say this too again speaking generally , they are the best dam looking people on the planet , not many bad ones , great physical , all the women I see are into fitness.
Again , observation only , they rarely mix outside their own circle , I've only had one Russian girlfriend and that was years ago , and unusual she was travelling alone , again incredible shape , but that whole Russian attitude thing.
With children , they seem to " egg them on " , encouragement into " over excitement " particularly the men , that really pisses me off , they don't give a fck about disturbing of others. There always appears to be a level of arrogance , and we have a Ukrainian couple here too , I know they feel that way.
So again , just my observation of all those that are here , mostly I'm guessing to dodge the draft.
It’s funny what communism did to a country that is rich in natural resources, intellectual talent and drive.
Yes Russia might not technically be a communist country at the moment but Putin is a former KGB agent and installed himself as a dictator.
But so many leftists are pro big government and this is an example of the “utopia” that can bring.
My Russian girlfriends told me to never date a Russian man cause they are crazy
It's bad, but men from other countries are also still pretty violent. I think maybe with Russian men it just has the appearance of being worse because of the alcohol and Russian machismo.

I think it's only an overlooked stereotype
each person is different
I been with a russian guy before and he was the sweetest
people are different lets not generalise
It wouldn't surprise me if Russian men routinely get mad at their spouses for growing out of childhood.
maybe because they are not pussies like the rest of the world and carries blood of warriors in their veins?
Violence against women
Violence against LGBTQ+
Violence against Blacks
Violence against Jewish
These are systemic problems in RussiaNo.
The USA and some states in Africa tend to have the worst rate of domestic violence against women
The Putin government just decriminalized domestic violence. That should tell you a lot.
How many people carry weapons in their car? Apart from Americans and Russians? Hell the country is run by criminals what do you think is going to happen?
Alcoholism is beyond rampant in Russia. As a result the male life expectancy is only 64 years. This number is before the Ukrainian war figures are added in.
It depends on the context.
Beating their wives? Yes.
Rioting against the government? No.
Not sure why 16 % of parliment is an issue?
Not sure im willing to believe this given the current situation. Propaganda creates doubt
I think it's just the language that sounds that way 😂
