Why is Russia so smart yet so backwards (in terms of economy, corruption, infrastructure, safety, life expectancy, etc.)? I can understand why Africans suck, but at least they have an excuse of having a genetically low IQ. What's Russia's secret?

Lack of creativity maybe. Like in the ussr times, they were great at math, physics, chess, space. But they didn't invent and innocate alot especially in the technology field
William Moore
im under the impression that russia has alot of intelligent people because the soviet union invested a large amount into education. when the union fell, those intelligent people survived the shit show of a collapsed country by establishing organized crimes, and later hacking for economic profit.
Jace Jones
It's mentality. You can be a professor with 150 IQ and still take bribes from students so they could pass an exam.
Colton Russell
I don't believe, that Russia really has this high IQ.
Asher Edwards
Too much alcohol comsumption + communism + being far away from western civilization
Henry Reed
Russia is shit because it's full of Russians.

Hello
Lucas Wilson
IQ is average, high math related achievements was mostly obtained by minorities, who rarely want Russia to be successful
Austin Anderson
What is source of your picture? I didn't find that kind of results. Also, every country can have some persons, who are good in something. It isn't good meter for average IQ. Mathematical intelligence and IQ isn't also same.

We also good in Physics and IT. Though it doesn't matter when we have Putin with his proxy wars.

Back before the industrial revolution, Russia’s harsh climate and very short farming season meant they had to whip out a lot of work in a very short summer, followed by a long, boring, hungry winter. This created a culture of both forced labor and heavy drinking.
Also the Renaissance & Enlightenment were centered in Western Europe and never took root in the east.
Noah King
A lot of North-West Russians have the blood of KARELIAN BULLS running through them, it really skews the data.
Nathan Campbell
Because Russians should be ruled by Germanics. Russia prospered only when it was ruled by Swedes or Germans

this map is trash
fits russia

Putin is Finnic raised in Germany

I have said this hundred times: IQ means nothing, it is just a puzzle.

Even according to that pic russians are on the same level as eastern europeans who are also dumb and backwards. And the IQ (most people don't even consider that test a reliable measure of a nation's overall intelligence btw) is not the only thing you should take into account when talking prosperity and development.
Russians are genetically close-minded, primitive, lazy, submissive (to their tyrannical overlords), easily manipulative, gullible, cowardly and prone to lying and backstabbing each other. A disgusting nation of subhuman mental slaves.
Even the biggest and most significant figures in russia's history weren't even ethnic russian, catherine the great (german), peter the great (his mother was tatar), stalin (georgian), pretty much whole dynasties of ruriks and romanovs were at least half non ethnic russian.

are you retarded?
no uneducated person has ever been smarter than an educated person. you do not learn physics or engineering by just having an aptitude for it, you learn it by studying.

Also, don't forget upbringing: Russian (and Eastern European in general) culture is child-centered, and many children here pampered and spoilt; other part of children are neglected and/or oppressed by their alcoholic parents. So, don't be surprised when Russians can't behave as adults and form a functioning society.

Russia has no more higher IQ than 80. They only lie in IQ, tests.

You lost the Winter War. Get over it.

I'd say there's a big gap between educated Russian and typical alcoholic Vanyas living together with stalagmites made of shit that make up like 80% of the society

Not enough Putin rule. After decade or two these parameters will get to first world level.
Aaron Wright
Leaders aren't interested in making the country compete at an international level in anything other than sports and oil. If Russia had effective leadership they could be so much more powerful and influential.
Instead they underperform so badly that they are compared to tiny puny countries and third world shitholes
Charles Wood
More specifically, Russians should be ruled by Germanic Queens
Nolan Russell
ahhh a fellow /his/torian I see *glomps you*
Samuel Rivera
It took 30 years and 2 trillion $ from West Germany to get the east back on track after (((communism))). Just takes some time desu. Maybe you can join the EU
Luis Reyes
I can't believe the world is gonna end because everyone decided Richard Lynn is trustworthy even though he got caught red handed lying about Irish IQ and several other nations.
I understand a lot of people aren't aware of these things but it pisses me off how much credibility his charts are given online.
Henry Peterson
I mean Russians have some of the greatest literature in modern times and they generally value education (thanks to communism, ironically). I don't think they're stupid
Connor Rodriguez
That’s because you sold of their state businesses to west german companies who, instead of renovating them to make a profit, scrapped their resources for a quick buck, completely avoidable. But the mindset was that everything had to go as fast as possible otherwise reunification could fail. Things could have gone more smoothly.
Sebastian Perez
It will soon change to West Europe levels.
James Clark
Yeah for sure. The DDR was the pinnacle of communism imo but still vastly inferior to the west
Kayden Martin
IQ is not the only thing that predicts success. There are other things such as agreeableness, consciousness etc.
