Rudyard Kipling, especially popular in Russia for his "The Ballad of East and West" poem and "The Adventures of Mowgli" animation (1967-1971) that was referenced by Putin in 2011, has also applied the term 'Oriental', in its derogatory meaning, to the Russian people. In "The Man Who Was" (1890, never translated to Russian), he wrote: "Let it be clearly understood that the Russian is a delightful person till he tucks in his shirt. As an Oriental he is charming. It is only when he insists upon being treated as the most easterly of western peoples instead of the most westerly of easterns that he becomes a racial anomaly extremely difficult to handle. The host never knows which side of his nature is going to turn up next".
