So now they are unconsciously trying to compensate their poverty for all those 70 years. I'm not joking man.
However this related to ppl in big cities only. Village people are still prefer to buy low-quality Turkish and Chinese clothes. Most of them still are not able to buy a suit from Versache...

Oh ok.. You are right though, lots of Americans do dress cheap...
I'm not one of them though
(or so I'd like to think)
I just thought it was hilarious envisioning an American tourist visiting Russia and getting mistaken as a "poor" and tasteless villager...
