>>10636326Our population is basically 1,5-2 times the populations of the Butthurt belt combined, and some of that is Chikchi, Tuvans, Finns, Hungarians, Dagestani, Chechen etc, nomads or people of their own precious culture. And we're much less wealthy. Still Russian contributions to humanity are a tad more than twice that of the "not-really-Europe"
In my view, one of our biggest contributions throughout history has been to consistently say fuck you to the biggest power in teh West. Usually not out of our choise, but because the West for some reason can't stop messing with the Empire or the Soviets or the Federation. Westerners need somebody like their consciousness. It does you guys good
