Geopolitics

Hot take: i feel like an average Russian knows much more about American politics, memes, culture, music, cinema, you name it, than an average American knows about Russia at all

I believe it. This really helped me understand that.

Wow, ty, will watch too. @balajis.eth has the nerve

I mean like really we are gathering with the boys to watch American presidential debates, state of the union whatnot. 

Also staying up all night to watch NHL matches with our guys Ovi, Bobs, and others. 

A lot of Russians work remotely in the US market (me included). 

We (especially my generation) literally grew up on Hollywood movies and western music. 

We study English in every single school, and some kindergartens too (my case). 

I can go on and on. It is what it is 🙂

i like pretending i am smart. /lovejoy by day; yoink anytime. we /honk. also /joining-merkle

yeah i did talk about it. i have a number of american buddies and also russians who lived in USA. I think in terms of citizenship generally we're very similar. That's exactly the reason why i'm highlighting this difference.

yea guess so, it's mainly american achievement though lol

i caught myself on the fact that i don't know much how people actually live tho, if you set aside statistics and news.. wanna talk more about this with people

Not surprising. American culture dominates the world. Russians are definitely more curious about the US than Americans are about Russia. But I think Russian interest must be broadened to include the West. They aren’t as curious about China /Asia than they are about Europe and America. Again, not surprising. They share a lot more history with the West than they do with the East.
