Instead of wasting your time watching the pre-game bs you can learn a little about contemporary Russian society by watching this film “Leviathan” which is one of the nominees for best foreign film in 2014. It has English subtitles so you can follow it very well. Watch it and form your own conclusions about the Russian mentalitet.
