I know most of you folks are on a rampage here in the comments and you'll most likely just call me a bot or something but as an actual Russian that stumbled upon this in the feed, I'm beyond angry on so many levels. I'm not easily disturbed but this might actually be an "enough reddit for me" moment. So, to quote myself from another sub:

Holy guacamole this is a shitfest on so many levels I can't even..

* Some guy from a shitty tabloid who seems barely literate spewing bullshit and claiming to represent a "leading" newspaper. Like what was the last time you saw someone citing Pravda? Most news aggregators don't even treat it as a legitimate source.

* A lot of people acting like it's an open invitation to be racist against Russians in comments. Not being shy of calling Russians fascists and nazis themselves, though?

* Mods saying that they intended it to be a shitfest? Like if they knew who he really is and what his newspaper is, how the heck the AMA is considered "verified", especially with that post title? He's not even of the newspaper he claims to be from. The former communist media is gazeta-pravda.ru . Pravda.ru is just namebaiting. And if they say that the goal of the series is to show an unbiased comparsion between various sources across the globe and this dork is supposed to represent Russia, how is that even fair?

I'm sure the real influental Russian newspapers have plenty of representatives that are willing to do an AMA and most likely can put together actual coherent sentences in English. And if they really want to spice it up with politics, they could've at least invited someone like RBC or Kommersant that may be mostly neutral but still have a lot of bad blood with the authorities on operational level.

Seriously, everyone who has a hand in this should be ashamed. The guy himself, everyone who defends him,e veryone who spews racist bullshit in the comments and most importantly the mods.

This might be the most shameless political cash-in clickbait mess I've ever seen. It may not be the absolute lowest point of reddit ever (cough Boston bomber cough) but it's really close.

Now feel free to dehumanize and downvote me based on my nationality, as you always do. I'll be happy even if just one person reads this and it makes them think for a moment.

Heya!

I actually happen to be a big fan of yours since early 2000s. Dunno, you just have one of those very likable "I'd buy this guy a beer" faces :D

So anyway, how'd you describe your role among the cast? There's always the fun guy, the serious guy, the guy who thinks he's better director than the actual director, the one who just wants to go home, etc. Which one are you?

Also, can you tell a joke? You know, so I can go around telling people about that one time Omar Epps told me a joke.

Sorry if I'm derailing this away from serious discussion but I never thought I'd have a chance to ask you something so I have to make sure it's a bit ridiculous as it should be :D
