To be fair, this is understandable: Russia have 140 million people and Brazil have 190 million. Compared to our 50 million, those are huge markets.

It's pretty cool to at least be recognised in the gaming space, by Activision Blizzard no less.

Russia has enough exposure!

They have Russian WoW servers

I can see it now, RussianWoWBrides.com
