Western style Catastrophism: a few questions for my Russian readers
Weekly page views of “Resource Crisis” on July 30, 2015. Note how Russia is the largest non-English speaking country in the list. These data are not the result of any special post about Russia, they are a normal feature of the blog.
I don’t need to say that I am very pleased for the success that this blog is having in Russia. Russia is a country that I know reasonably well, I know the people, the places, nature, a little of the language and, well, about countries you can use the verb “like” regarding your attitudes toward it; but you can also use the verb “love.” Personally, I would feel more inclined to use the latter term in regard to my personal feelings regarding Russia.
This said, however, I am curious about why exactly “Resource Crisis” is having so much success in Russia. It is true that I have posted a few times about matters regarding Russia, but this is not, by any means, a Russia-oriented blog. And, for what I know about Russia, the general attitude, there, is not at all “catastrophistic” as this blog is.
So, I thought I could dedicate a post to this subject and ask my Russian readers (and also non Russian ones) if they can spare a little of their time to comment on some questions that I am asking to myself and to them.
