Nabokov and Solzhenitsyn: English vs. Russian

[Josh Wilson]

Search for "Путин" (Putin in Russian) using Google.ru = 20,100,000
Search for "Putin" (Putin in English) using Google.ru = 10,800,000

You will find many more hits on any topic in English on the Internet because 
the 750,000,000 people who speak English are generally wealthier (and 
therefore have better access to the Internet) than the 275,000,000 people 
who speak Russian.
