Based on an analysis of publications in the media, social networks, and expert commentary, the nature of this phenomenon, its cultural roots, and its mechanisms of spread are reconstructed.

Also analyzed are the accompanying trends: the fashion for 'Slavic chic' in clothing, the popularity of Russian music abroad, and attempts by foreigners to master the elusive specifics of the Russian facial expression.
