smoltchanov is pretty representative of the subset of young Russians who are politically literate and engaged, at least in my experience. BigSerg (even though I don't think he lives or has ever lived in Russia) is a pretty good representation of the more "casually" political Russian. However, the average Russian is very much politically disengaged, or at the very least, unlikely to give their honest opinion on political matters. So, unless Russian Bushie joins Atlas, we're probably not going to get a good match.
Isn't Smoltchanov anti-Putin though?
