Vodka People

NOT ALL RUSSIANS DRINK VODKA. Please remember that. Some Russians don't drink any alcoholic beverages. But they are outnumbered by those who do.

So how bad is it, really? Do Russians drink like a fish? If they do, why do they do it?

Iodine Deficiency: Imbeciles Rule

When it comes to inventions, innovations, and creativity, Russians lag behind. Yes, there are plenty of Russian scientists, composers, and writers (after all, Tchaikovsky and Dostoevsky are well-known around the world). However, the era of world-famous Russians is long gone. Nobody wants to buy a Russian smartphone, no matter how cheap it is, or to own a Russian-made car. Most world-famous Russian physicist and mathematicians moved to greener pastures in the West. And the problem is not only the lack of funding. After all, Russia is saturated with oil. If they had fifty billion to spare on the Winter Olympic games, they most certainly would have the money to advance arts and sciences.

The real problem is the lack of talent due to negative selection and somewhat low intelligence as a result. If we look at the IQ data, Russia lags behind Singapore,  South Korea, Norway and even Italy. Coupled with inefficient and corrupted state system, Russia does not look like the hub of intellectual thought in perceivable future. 

So what is the reason why average Russians are not as smart as the most leading countries?

Russians look and dress (somewhat) European (except for those see-through clothes, but we will address this issue in our later posts). However, when you get to know Russians better, you realize a very important fact: Russians look European, but they do not act or think like Europeans.

So, what is wrong with Russians?

What is Wrong with Russia?

Russia is a beautiful country. It has everything other countries wish for: vast spaces, stunning landscapes, beautiful forests, crystal clear waters, all imaginary resources from aluminum to zinc, gold, silver, oil, gas.... Yet the country has suffered extreme devastation, not only during both world wars but also throughout modern times. Communist ideology and planned economy pulled it down the history drain more than once. It seems that the Moloch of history has opened its hungry mouth once again, ready to drain Russia of what is left.

So... what is wrong with Mother Russia?
