"Ask a Russian where television, fashion shows, hip-hop or hieroglyphs were invented and you will no doubt hear - in Russia. Believing in the Russian genius is an essential feature of the Russian mentality. That is why no Russian was surprised when we found out with the help of Lenta.ru the Internet in general, and blogging in particular, was, if not invented, at least predicted by a Russian back in 1837."
