What kind of geek fandom do you think Russia have? In America, we have Star Wars and Star Trek, Britain has Doctor Who, and Japan has Gundam. I know there are more fandoms, but I am curious of what Sci-fi fandom that Russia has.
I'm no expert on this at all, but I have seen an article or interview somewhere in which actor Anton Yelchin has commented on the popularity of his Star Trek character, Ensign Pavel Chekov, in Russia. I have no clue what kind of unique geek fandoms they have, though.
I dunno, nowadays aren't we all so connected that fandoms aren't really restricted to their countries of origin? I know tons of American Doctor Who fans. Ditto for Gundam Wing (or pretty much any other anime). Hell, the last time I was in Afghanistan I saw Dragon Ball Z playing on TV, and another time there I saw the old X-Men cartoon series from the early 90s. I mean, Russia certainly has its own long history of producing sci-fi books/films/etc., but I imagine generally what's popular there is what's popular everywhere else.
