Ayn Rand was moderately popular in Russia in 1990s and absolutely popular from like 15 to 5 years ago.
Not so much today with growing Western-backed interest in socialism.
A person wearing MAGA cap in Russia today is the least appealing promoter of anything right now.

Just my 5 cents.

As one nutcase guy who was talking with my son put it, "Russians are becoming Christian at an alarming rate and many if not most now want laws to reflect Christian morality. It's awful."

Atheist Any Rand is probably seen as an antidote to that Christian morality stuff getting out of hand in Russia

MAGA is for Americans. Has nothing to do with Ayn Rand’s message.

I’ve heard that Russia actually has pretty traditional values now. And I know I heard from visitors that they thought Obama was a horrible. They are totally against the gay agenda.
