The Slav Squat (or Gopnik Squat) is an internet phenomenon centered on the stereotype of Eastern Europeans squatting with their heels flat on the ground, often while wearing Adidas tracksuits. This cultural trope gained massive online traction in the early 2010s through sites like 4chan and Reddit, where users contrasted True Slavs (heels down) with Western Spies (heels up). The posture is traditionally associated with Russian gopniks—a subculture of young, working-class men—but it evolved into a global meme celebrating and satirizing Slavic lifestyle, vodka, hardbass, and the ubiquitous three-stripe fashion. It is widely used to signal authenticity or to poke fun at various Eastern European stereotypes.
