Maybe I was a bit incomprehensible, but here in Moscow you can always meet someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Elijah Wood bicycling right on the street, but who gives a fuck about it? You may say that Russians don't know them. I tell you one thing... the Putin's state television is considered as one of the most entertaining in the world (that's true because it has a very serious financial support), and the AAA Hollywood movies are being shown there every weekend (I'm talking about the free air channels, the cable ones like HBO or Fox are another thing - those want you to pay about 300 rules every month). So course everybody knows Arnold Schwarzenegger here, but I can't imagine who would like to stalk him. Meet him somewhere and ask to make a selfie - ok, but stalking buses are something over of my mind.
The difference is that in the USA the people pay to see the celebrities. In Russia people get paid for that. To be honest, I don't know the current prices but before the financial crisis of 2014 it was about $100. It's like you have to visit a TV show with that guy from Master of the Rings or that who was playing Harry Potterr. How much? $100. Oh, I like Harry Potter, watched all the movies and $100 sounds like a deal!
