Why is Russia called the "sleeping bear"

yes they have bears. the bear is their symbol like the eagle for the US. its sleeping cause theyre all drunk ass alkys

YEP

You certainly don't know that the USA would have been the Bear... This why Theodore Roosevelt got his nickname...

Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is the person responsible for giving the teddy bear his name.

Germany was holding the eagle and ruled over the sky's until WWII when America got the Eagle and other symbols of Roman Empire... The eagle itself still is an emblem of the German state.

Because like a bear they wake up from a slumber and bite you on yer arse when you aint looking.

.. Eh damoetjeniedoen

Vodca...

actually coat of arms of Russia is double-head Eagle.

Sleeping bear because, winter sucks, but only a bear has the fur to withstand it. Wake that bitch up and she be ready to roll, day, night, summer, winter might.

because your scared of them.

Its ok to piss your pants when your scared, bears can smell fear. Run little one run.

When sleeping bear wakes from hibernation, it feeds. Your lunch mutherfucker :) HAHAHAHA

Double headed Phoenix ;)

Go smell a sleeping bear and then go smell a Russian.

Because "sleeping bear" sounds more ominous than their first choice of the "prancing fairies"

In Soviet Russia bear wakes YOU!!

In Soviet Russia bear eats you... and also anywhere else in world
