As soon as I posted it, I caught my poor wording and I was wondering how long it would take for someone to call me on it. What I meant to say is often times in movies with Russian men, they will refer to themselves as comrade. So a lot of americans associate comrade with Russia because according to popular culture, that's what Russians call themselves. This was much more popular during the Cold War, so maybe younger Americans don't make that connection.

Comrade is just a popular way to make things look/people appear russian. Other things that are popular is using Я instead of R, like Яussia and replacing N with И.

I had a classmate who used to write Я instead of R and it just irritated me, even if back then I had no insterest for the Russian language...
