Russian Tartar Emetic

some dictionary defines Russian as a person with a Caucasian body and a Mongolian soul. A Tartar Emetic.

what do you think of it my friends?

For most Europeans and Americans Russia "is very big" like they use to say making long face. And I guess they just do not take the trouble to classify us properly :)

"to catch a Tartar" — to meet a stronger adversary, rebuff.
Probably this description you gave encompasses a character strong but still unpredictable, a bit wild and dangerous, and definitely sth prehistoric.
