Women’s basketball, Formula 1 and the Republican convention are among the top information preferences of the global Internet audience
As you know, being determines our consciousness. And if our compatriots are worried about survival in the conditions of war, humanitarian disasters, blackouts and climatic cataclysms, then foreigners, who only observe the hardships faced by Ukrainians from the side, live in their information bubble.
The famous phrase “tell me who your friend is, and I’ll tell you who you are” can be rephrased: “tell me what you’re interested in, and I’ll tell you who you are by nationality and where and what you live in.” In this sense, the rating of information requests on the Internet, which demonstrates the top information preferences of the foreign audience, is indicative.

… Agree, how much you want to return to the cultural, socio-economic and political reality, in which it is appropriate to take an interest yourself and feel the delight of living together such pleasant events as sports competitions or political elections with fellow tribesmen … But for now, the picture of the world of many Ukrainians, unfortunately , rather resembles a picture from G. A. Andersen’s fairy tale “The Girl With Matches”. A hungry, unhappy girl who sells matches, and looks into the window, behind which she sees complete well-being, where it is warm and light, full and cheerful. And she secretly dreams that someday she too will have such a life. Let’s hope that soon entertainment and sports, and not war, will also appear in the top of requests of Ukrainians…
