How do Russians feel about their fiat currency in the country? Do they only feel the economic pain of inflation? Or is there a distrust in a corrupt government?

So far I have seen little news about russians wanting to get rid of cash and buying Bitcoin. Not even gold or storeable goods, no shortages or overwhelmed stores.

If I was a Russian I would be very concerned of being at the whims of oligarchs and Putin...

Feels like there's surprisingly little of Russian bitcoiners, though many research papers show that many CIS-countries residents are exposed to "crypto".

I do believe we have a lot of room to grow, the ratio of bitcoiners to shitcoiners is concerning tbh 😅

What are CIS-countries?

Why do you think that is? Are Russians just adverse to tech? Or are surprisingly trusting in their government/regime? Or just have never heard of Bitcoin?

Commonwealth of Independent States.

Not sure why -- maybe more people are used to "being dependent on the state".
