100% American-made here.

I see America as "setting the bar" in the entertainment industry. Foreign countries often try to emulate or "American-ize" their films or TV shows from what I've seen.

Other reasons to like America: Harley Davidson, Chevy Camaro, Led Zeppelin, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Wild Bill Hicock, and the other wild West American legends, military technology, iPod, and Star Wars.

I can't comment on Russian culture since I've never been there, but from the Russian and Ukranian immigrants in the states that I've met, they're distant and mostly keep to themselves like other minorities. A lot claim to be Christians but actually get drunk off Stoli every night in the sauna. Until I began to study the Russian language I knew nothing of Russian entertainment. I'd say 99% of Americans no nothing of Soviet cinema or of Cheburashka. It's hard to get an accurate perception of a foreign person because they seem "exotic" but the more you understand their language, they become more normal to you.
