I think all the Russians I've ever met were mathematicians or computer programmers, so I probably have a skewed perception, but much like most of the people I know here, they are not well represented by Russian politics. I've heard a ton of great music out of Russia the last 10 years or so, but I get the impression none of it has a larger audience there than it would here.

That's some great stuff you've linked to. Thanks for sharing. Such music isn't popular in Russia, it's true, but it's not to say it doesn't have its small following. Just last month, I met a girl whose brother played in a band with a similar tone to their music, and they held a concert in a local private library.
