Speedo is common in Russia?

[stray.c.a.t]

I am from Thailand, which many European tourists, especially Russians, visit our beautiful tropical beaches per year. I have seen many Russian guys wearing speedos at the beaches. It comes to my conclusion that speedo is common to them. Additionally, I see many Russian guys wearing speedos on instagram. I doubt that other European people think speedo is common or not?

Here are some pics of Russian guys I find on the instagram.

They even go for a dip in ice cold water wearing them.
