Kind of feel that this isn't entirely off the mark.
The archetype of leather jacket (or suit straining at the seams), thick neck and buzz-cut hair definitely fits a lot of thugs and minor gangsters but it also fits half the guys in the wider region, including my former boss who's British but has lived in Poland for 20+ years.
There's a bit of a class / culture division between 'sophisticated Europeans' and 'lumpen sovoks' which does reflect, to a large degree, the redneck idea.

I don't think it's all that common these days - although most would have done national service at some point. Kadyrov was in a militia but most are businessmen, economists, academics, lawyers, sportsmen or ex-secret-service people.
