Description: The Dude is mostly inspired by Jeff Dowd, an American film producer and political activist the Coen brothers met while they were trying to find distribution for their first feature, Blood Simple. Dowd had been a member of the Seattle Seven, liked to drink white Russians, and was known as "The Dude". The Dude was also partly based on a friend of the Coen brothers, Peter Exline, a Vietnam War veteran who reportedly lived in a dump of an apartment and was proud of a little rug that "tied the room together".
Description: Russian Orthodox cross or Orthodox cross is a variation of the Christian cross since the 6th century in the Byzantine Empire. The cross has three horizontal crossbeams, with the lowest one slanted. Nowadays it is a symbol of the Russian Orthodox Church and a distinctive feature of the cultural landscape of Russia. Other names for the symbol include the Byzantine cross, Russian cross, and Slavonic or Suppedaneum cross.
