Of course nationalism exists and is used in Russia. This is true for every country, but I honestly think, having experience with English, American and Spanish cultures, through their media and people as friends, that Russian exceptionism is the most self-denigrating I have ever experienced. On and on people go on how everything is better everywhere else, how everything is shit here in Russia and needs to be copied from some Western example. Jon Stewart, arguably a much better and more intelligent comedian than Zadornov, makes much more ignorant jokes (vodka/bears/Putin) about Russia than Zadornov, whos jokes in part play on the fact that Westerners simply don't have to be smart about some things because they don't deal with 3rd world problems. A lot of people who like Zadornov know this and are crying through tears.
