    On The Line, a host loves using the analogy that 1% of the population is remarkably close the entire Russian population. So it’s like saying we have men, women and russians, but those don’t count, because they are an anomaly.

      I took a Russian history course in high school. They are an anomaly. If I had a nickel for everytime a random person showed up and took over by pretending to be some royal that had previously disappeared, I’d have a handful of nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it was so common in one particular country.
