I recently was thinking back to my culture and I realized that in the Soviet era there were no superheros in the media or anywhere. I started recalling any possible cartoon and came up with only one character that can be kinda superhero. I will compare him to American Heroes.
Comparison: Russian hero has a name Uncle Styopa, and by profession he is a police officer. His supernatural powers are very limited to just being tall as a fucking Sears Tower. So basically here is this dude that is not only scary as hell because he is tall but he also helps mostly children, damn, those kids gotta be terrified for the rest of their lives. He seems to be more like a civilian watch in the neighborhood then an actual hero. He's wearing a very economy class "very colorful" coat which happens to be the benefit of common wealth in communism. He has no money (obviously) because in Soviet Union there were no rich or poor all were equal and money were almost unneccessary.He doesn't need chicks or anything related to the intercourse which in Soviet camp was immoral and inappropriate.
On the other hand we have this all American heroes that are huge as freaking offensive lineman with pretty much similiar story how they became superheros. They all were part of some experiment and something went wrong or someone dumped steroids in the cereal and now they all are here, saving people of the world were "world" is presented as New York or some American city in most cases. Some of them like batman and ironman are rich spoiled kids that instead of helping terminally ill kids chase criminals and keep wasting their moeny on upgrading their gears. The clothes are flashy and fancy, because in America you can get anything you want.There are also couple smoking ladies present there to distract enemies by flashing body parts...
The conclusion is that Russians don't expect and need miracles they just have balls to take care of their shit on their own. Instead of wasting money on creating imaginary freaks of nature Russians were more focused on producing nuclear bombs and making sure that Cold War will be their bitch.
