    Fact: the only person who uses Windows with Russian language settings is Vladimir Putin, and he can't read any other languages.

        I remember watching Oliver Stone's interviews with Putin from 3/4 years ago (I'd recommend watching them, v interesting) and you could see he had Windows XP with a picture of the Kremlin as his desktop background. In recent photos of him at his desk you can make out that he's still going strong on XP with the exact same background. :putin-wink:

          He might be president, the official enemy of the west and an autocratic strongman but he's a boomer at heart.

        Yeah a few do, but at least from what I read awhile back that filtering is done based on keyboard language since having the hardware peripheral is less likely if you're not using a Cyrillic language

    This would be based actually because then Linux would become huge in Russia :galaxy-brain: in fact it's already probably gonna be the case Cuba had been embargoed for a long time and they use Linux more than mostcountries.
