In Russia, the country had two breaking points, the 1917 Revolution and the 1991 USSR collapse both of which completely overhauled the structure of society and the mentality of the people. Japan on the other hand stays more traditional at its core values(Honne, Tatemae, the Hazukashii culture)... ok, this has nothing to do with Pokemon. Kinda got carried away.
