* The ''Brood War'' expansion for ''{{Starcraft}}'' had the Terran Valkyrie, who's female pilot had elements of this. (She was overshadowed the TheMedic's much more overt flirtatiousness, though.)

** ''GoldenEye'' has ''two'': Xenia Onatopp (pictured above) and Natalya Simonova.

* Also by Blizzard, female Draenei are considered to be these by many.

** Red Alert 3 and it's Uprising expansion give us Lieutenant Dasha Fedorovich, played by Bosnian-born Ivana Milicevic.

*** This was a typical belief among North Americans during the Cold War, as mentioned above. The idea that Russian women would ''ever'' be seen as sexy would probably have had them laughing in the aisles.

The FemmeFatale version arose in the UK during the Cold War. Tales abounded of the glamorous, alluring Russian woman who would throw herself at a visiting British businessman, seducing him into wild, unrestrained sex acts. Later, after he'd returned home to their families, the businessman would learn that the tryst had been filmed and that pictures would go to his wife and to the government if he didn't comply with whatever demands the blackmailers made - and that the sexy vixen he'd bedded was a full colonel in the KGB.

* The advertisements that are almost certainly showing for this page (and other Russia tropes pages). Certainly for me at the moment.

--> "I'm from Russia where the women look like men!"

In comparison, in North America during the ColdWar this trope ''did not exist in any way, shape or form''. Russian women were considered to be the [[BrawnHilda ugliest humans BrawnHilda]] in existence - "deformed monsters" wouldn't be putting it too strongly. Ryan Stiles's comment below might be understating the point. Johnny Carson wasn't the only comedian to base entire sets on the purported hideousness of all Russian women, but he was the most famous - and hundreds of comedians copied him. Even today, many older North Americans are shocked by pictures of attractive Russian women because they'd heard for ''forty years'' that all Russian women were uniformly hideous. It was a nasty, cruel stereotype, but one almost universal in the ColdWar era.

* No love for ''BlackWidow''?

* The Russian-accented draenei from ''WorldOfWarcraft'' definitely qualify, despite not being human (let alone Slavic).
** Let alone Russian-accented; they sound Romanian.

* This troper on a trip to St. Petersburg was amzed along with his classmates that it was very rare to see an unattractive Russian teenager/woman. It was quite nice.
