Four models of manliness are identified, "the traditional Russian model," "the Soviet model," "the traditional Western model," and "the new model." Each is acknowledged to be somewhat arbitrary as descriptors of norms, with the Russian traditional model including ideas of the Russian soul and the Soviet model grappling with issues of aggressive sexuality as undisciplined. Discursive strategies of the Soviet period are analyzed using photographs and slogans of the popular journal Pravda Severa. Post-Soviet imagery is notable for its absence of (mostly female) agricultural workers and its focus on youth cultures that include a range of diverse sexual lifestyles (and the magazines that represent them). Cultural pluralism is celebrated in this new phase. However, a return to imagery of the Russian muzhik (simple guy now gone from farm to city) is discussed, for example as seen in the men's magazine Medved
