In this, I agree with you - there are famous peoples and historical milestone from Russia, but for its huge size and long history, it isn't as dynamic as many other smaller countries. The list of famous Russians (eg. Tchaikovshy, Boris Spasky, Stalin, etc) is short compared to USA. Every country has their celebrities and achievers, but Russia, for its sheer size is punching below her weight. She needs to do more to get attention of the world. You turn on TV and browse, you will come across unlimited shows and programs from USA, highlighting their arts, culinary, sports, events, How many Russian equals? I know it is not a fair comparison, one is capitalistic, the other, a socialist state, but we are not looking at fairness here.
Cheers!

Actually a lot of the most famous classical music composers come from Russia.and Russian traditional music is fabulous just listen to their red army choir on YouTube.and Russia has tons of math and science geniuses which explains its long obsession with aero engineering and space and weaponry.of course the rest of the world is only interested in the mainstream garbage that USA churns out by the cable network load and Hollywood load.
math and science geniuses,music geniuses,engineering geniuses and the country that created the most popular ideology in the world.whats there not to like?
