It isn't hurting anyone. Yes, it's a bit disparaging of rural Russians who are not as cut off civilization as this video implies, but tbh, if you know anyone who took the transsibérien after 2000, you'll see that this story isn't as outrageous as it sounds sadly.
Cool how it only took you one post to completely reverse your position from “oh no one would believe that obvious garbage” to “oh it’s okay people believe that”.
