In 2017, Russia won 17 Olympic medals, most of which are gold.

December of 2017. International Junior Olympiad in Amsterdam. 6 members from Russia. 6 gold medals.
July 2017. International Physical Olympiad in Zurich. 5 members from Russia. 5 gold medals.
July 2017. International Mathematical Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro. 6 members from Russia. Six medals, one of which is gold.
The geography of the schools represented by the Olympians is the whole of Russia, from region to region. At the same time, the absolute majority of medallists live far beyond the Garden Ring.
and what? And nothing... The news went almost unnoticed. There were no wheels of expensive car gifts for champions and their mentors. Professional propagandists didn’t talk about Russia’s next great victory in ecstasy. Neither the president, nor even any stinking prime minister, congratulated the champions on their outstanding achievements.

This is all you need to know about the national pride of the Great Russians.
