re: Doctor Zhivago. The Russians are a morose people

Except that when Russians see Zhivago, they complain about how English it is. Russians are vocal, boisterous, demonstrative people. In Zhivago they are presented as reserved and stiff upper lip -- like cliched Englishmen.

Well, these are Europeanized upper class Russians, who looked westward, and I believe one of the characters was half-English or at least had an English surname.
