I am sending again my previous message, with the cyrillic transliterated, as 
requested, for those whose computers cannot recognize it.
Hope that helps
Giampaolo

I want to thank heartily all those who provided suggestions on possible 
translations of the Italian (colloquial, almost slangy) adjective 
"ruspante".
Here are my provisional conclusions:
The word that seems most fit is dikij (polu-dikij).
Next follow grubyj, grubovatyj, nekil'turnyj, vol'nyj, estestvennyj, 
neotesannyj, almaz negrаnёnyj, kosolapyj;
vygul'nyj refers only to poultry.
Medved', slon (v posudnoj lavke), nevezha, can be used just in a derogative 
sense.
Any further comments?
Sincerely
Giampaolo Gandolfo
