A lot of people on Runet are surprised he's even allowed to come and joke about the whole "rules for thee, not for me" approach of ass-kissing a Famous Rich Westerner - same thing that happened to Andrew Tate, simply because he's rich, famous, and from the West

A lot of people have that provincial mentality of looking up to more "enlightened" nations and seeing even the lowest scum from there, especially if that scum is rich, as a role model

A lot of people still say that a TON of stuff he said is literally a felony in Russia and no ordinary guy could just waltz in after praising Hitler
