Is there anyone from Russia? What do you think is the average height among young men? (18-30 years old)
They write on the Internet that the average growth in Russia is 176–178 cm. But the younger generation seems taller, what do you think?
The fact is that there is a difference between generations. https://www.theglobalist.com/striding-tall-us-vs-ussr/ - take a look. Men born in the 1920s were on average 167 cm, men born in the 1970s were already 177 cm.
People of that time were definitely lower. For example, the astronaut Yuri Gagarin was 157 cm. The head of the USSR, Nikita Khrushchev - 160 cm. Singer Vladimir Vysotsky - 170 cm, etc.
Nowadays, I get the feeling that guys aged 18-25 are on average 180-182. Maybe I'm wrong, but the facts suggest that average height increases over time.
